Weekend-Wear III - Friends that dress alike - Grand Street Soho
Weekend-Wear II: Stripes
I’ve seen this shirt somewhere … I always love the classic nautical top but I need to mix it up with a dash of red. See the red in my previous post? Red always makes me feel happy and bold. I also really liked the fact that the unrelated woman in front of her was wearing similar stripes as well!
I’ve got a few “weekend wear” snaps coming up - I’m excited!

Neysha on Bond Street
Wearing a mixture of her friend’s Brixton hat, Top Shop men’s chinos, Top Shop boutique leather jacket, thrifted boots, ebay shirt, etc. She works at Topshop and mixed in pieces from the men and women’s section with thrift and ebay pieces! Comfortable but a little bit bada*s : )

Wish I knew her scarf too.
I’m not a big fan of style blogs that seem to list off an outfit’s brand names and such but I LOVE THIS. This makes me want to study fashion and know all the brands, fashion houses, techniques, etc.
It reminds me of Dries Van Noten a bit. He was the first designer to get me into prints. Perfect amount of print … her coat is look like they projected a photograph onto it. Love it! I know she’s not trying to be trendy but herself and cool. She’s had the Agnes B skirt for a while.
I caught her at a weird moment, before crossing the street and leaving nice light so this encounter was quite quick. Still so worth it!
PS: Thanks random person who knew Annique and messaged me the correct spellings. Small world!

This post is about … clothes and character: This is Sally from Sydney, Australia on Kenmare Street. She and her husband are visiting from Australia. I bumped into them right after passing by Ruby’s which is an Australian eatery actually.
I liked how she wasn’t afraid to wear a bit of color with her pants and how she subtly mixed in her polka-dot socks! I like her boots of course and how she drapes her top. What really made it for me was her hat - a beautiful, timeless accessory. I’m not sure how to describe it - but I like that embroidered/pendant type thing. She doesn’t work in fashion but still cares about it a healthy amount. This is my perfect subject - someone who looks great, is subtle, and isn’t showy with their fashion.
Hat - Sonia Rykiel
Something else I didn’t note correctly - her pants I think - Sass and Bide
Everything was bought in Sydney.
Sass and Bide is. so. cool. Look at their Spring 2012 RTW collection here. I know, I’m quite new to this, I had heard of Sass and Bide before but meeting Sally made me have a reason to really research them. They aren’t afraid to use colors and have fun. They are creative. Each of their collection has its own little personality. I’m not sure how to describe it but I got a similar feeling when I first discovered J.W. Anderson (UK). I think Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton, Sass and Bide designers, have worked in London and show in London. Their clothes allow the wearer to visit a different world, be imaginative, unabashed, yet everything is fairly wearable - it’s not insane and gaudy. It’s healthy, a mixture of solid colors and patterns. Here’s their Fall 2011 collection. I’ll let Meenal Mistry explain.
I have always wanted to visit Australia or England - I’ve been meeting a lot of Australians lately and they all seem quite cool - it’d be nice to work in either place.
Refinery 29 did a piece of Australian Designers to follow a few days ago (Sass and Bide included!)
Sam Shipley of Shipley and Halmos and Pilot (French Bulldog) on Mercer Street.
A nice blazer, scarf, jeans outfit, and Shipley and Halmos sunglasses.
I really liked the little girl’s brogues at first and then I realized she had the uber-trendy neon/fluorescent Cambridge Satchel. I’m glad someone is using it for school and incorporating the colors appropriately! Her flower is so cute as well as the pink hair pendant she was wearing.
I then saw another Cambridge Satchel on a girl in a lot of various neons. Both of them were wearing stripes!
