More proof that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to look great – you just need a little attitude, confidence, style…and maybe a sharp pair of scissors. This was a really long dress. She made it into a really short dress. I like this dress better. The print is cute but I imagine that the former long silhouette looked a bit dated. The short version though is a breath of fresh air! It strikes me as a bit vintage kimono-like – and I love vintage kimonos. Her straw topper and casually rolled sleeves certainly up the cute quotient as well – no doubt about that. I’m reminded of Jane March’s wardrobe in The Lover – which btw is a cool movie if you’ve not seen it. xo
“Spotted” recently (get it?) on Crosby Street – her entire look is composed of Mr. Newton summer favorites! Polka dots? Yep. Nautical stripes? She’s got ‘em. Shorts? You bet. Chic sandals? But of course.
Shorts in particular are a warm weather favorite of mine – the best ones look chic but never trying-too-hard. Also – a summer outfit has got to be comfortable – otherwise you’re missing the whole point of the season. She looks so pulled-together yet amazingly comfortable. The cutest styling touch is how she’s knotted her shirt – love that. xx Mr. Newton
Spotted at Union Pool during the indie fashion designers pop-up market on 7.17.11…
Hey – who says they’ve cleaned up The Bowery? I mean, there may be a Whole Foods market there now…and an art gallery and museum or two…but just last week I spotted this bum hangin’ around down there…with all of her belongings stuffed in an old canvas bag, a beat-up plaid work shirt in case it gets cold at night, and a musty old fedora that she probably found at like the Salvation Army or somewhere. Jeez – I thought Giuliani fixed this broken town??
I spotted Paris yesterday on Prince Street…
The girls of summer – on the street in New York – June 2011. Is it hot in here? Or is it just them?
Hi there – I was out and about yesterday in the West Village for Stella McCartney’s resort 2012 presentation. It had a bit of a fun-garden-party-meets-British-church-picnic feel to it…well, if Bono and Liv Tyler and Naomi Watts came to your church picnic…and brought a pinata with them – that’s exactly what it felt like. Here are my photos below…mostly shots of the models wearing the collection…but of course I snapped a few cute attendees as well! xo Mr. Newton
A vintage boys swimsuit I spotted on Houston Street yesterday – in the midst of an early summer heat wave!
