Goodbye to the Hamptons, welcome back to the city

September 4, 2012

Labor day closes the summer season and it is time to say goodbye to the Hamptons. Bye bye pretty beaches, bye bye farniente, bye bye bikini, bye bye pistaccio ice cream… The end of summer is always a sad feeling but hopefully the weather will stay warm for another month.

Now back to school or work but cheerfully back to the City. And look, you all know what this week is, right? Yeah, you know what I mean: goodbye summer, hello Fashion Week! I hope all you Fashionistas are ready to kick off Thursday’s Fashion’s Night out. That wonderful event of the year when you can shop at night, drink free Champagne in stores and meet your favorite celebrities and editors. It is now time to run. Get your schedule and outfits ready for this exciting week to come.

NYC Streetstyle SoHo: Romantic Rock n’ Roll

August 30, 2012

When I see a girl rocking some leather low boots with a pretty sheer dress my heart is rocking too.

What a great combination for an edgy romantic look, don’t you think?

AfroPunk Festival – Brooklyn

August 28, 2012

Last weekend was the 8th annual AfroPunk festival in Brooklyn. It was a good opportunity to see what people were wearing while going to music events. Afro, Punk, AfroPunk, Hipsters, Casual… All the styles were represented. Of course I was more interested in people’s closet than music so if you ask me, I can only name Bad Rabbits as a band who played last Sunday.

NYC Streetstyle: Roaring 20s at the Jazz Age Lawn Party

August 25, 2012

A party without dancing is not a real a party right? The best thing when you attend a 1920s themed event is that the music plays a big part. Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra were a successfull match to transport the crowd back to the 1920s and dance in an old-fashioned way. Great moves, rhythm and laughter on the dancefloor were the results of this perfect Sunday, with many people wanting to get to some adult dance lessons after watching the spectacle! There is a reason why Time Out voted this yearly event one of the best summer events in the city and to be honest with you, I am already planning my outfit for next year.

Best NYC Streetstyle at the Jazz Age Lawn Party – Gorvernor’s Island

August 24, 2012

Last weekend was the second edition of the year of the Jazz Age Lawn Party at Governors Island. It was a good occasion to dress in our best apparel from the 1920s and pretend that we were still living in that era. Governors Island, for those who don’t know, is an island right outside of Manhattan accessible by boat only. In the past the island served as a military base, nowadays Governors Island is only accessible during summer and welcomes parties, festivals, exhibitions, etc…

When you go to a themed party you always wonder who will be dressed (I did) and who won’t play the game. I was nicely surprised to see that 95% of the crowd was dressed in their best 1920s style. Here are some of my favorite shots of last Sunday.
