Spotted at Partners & Spade – who says you can’t still look fashionable while attending a packed-to-the-gills-and-sweaty summer opening at a fake surf shop in Noho? x

Hey – I was out last night on Great Jones Street and these kids were too. We were at Partners & Spade for The Eighties At Echo Beach book launch party. It was also the launch event for the latest hey-is-this-a-gallery-or-is-this-a-store-or-both-or-neither revamp of the Partners & Spade space…you gotta check it out if you have a chance…it looks (sort of) like an 80′s southern California surf shop up in there now…perfect for summer! xo
Spotted at the Brooklyn Flea in Williamsburg…happy Memorial Day ya’ll…God bless America! Yay – so excited that summer is finally here!!! Can you believe it?? xo
My buddy Vika was visiting New York recently. I ran into her on the street in Chelsea…
When I first spotted Caroline in Soho it was her trashy/chic socks-and-Marni-heels combo that caught my eye. (Hey, at least I’m honest.) Upon closer inspection though what I really went bananas for was her vintage Canadian military jacket. I especially loved all of the original patches saying things like “Captain Vancouver” and “Sea Cadets” – love them! I was also struck by how she seemed to be wearing this jacket almost as a short belted trench. Given that she’s a petite girl, it’s not that surprising that a man’s jacket would fit her more like a trench…but it fit her nicely through the shoulders as well…so the fit was more like a new piece from a women’s wear designer’s military-inspired collection…rather than an actual vintage piece. A classic example of “how to work a bit of vintage quirk into an otherwise off-the-rack look” if you ask me. xx Mr. Newton
If you’re a regular reader of Mr. Newton, you’ll know that there’s nothing that I like better than a great outdoor market…or cool music festival…or rooftop party…or basically anything that involves stylish kids hangin’ outdoors in nice weather. I live for this sort of thing. I loathe winter more than any man has ever loathed winter in the entire history of winter loathing. So when spring weather finally comes around – as it has recently in New York – this is much more exciting to me than any fashion week could ever be. Also – I prefer to shoot real girls with real style – which is what you’ll find at a fashionable market or festival. Here then are my street style photos from the Brooklyn Flea on 4.30.11… xo
Katie on Extra Place. (Yes, there actually is a street in downtown Manhattan called Extra Place.)
