A Fall Forward Francaise – Caroline Abbar
Leave it up to the French to dress one season ahead of the rest. Suited for Fall in autumnal hues, Caroline Abbar whisked through SoHo last week in wedges that would make anyone press fast forward on summer’s Jeffrey Campbell … Read More
Sweet on top and sassy on bottom, Sequoia took to the Chelsea streets like a model on a runway (…it is Fashion Week after all). She’s a 20 year old beauty that often mixes and matches pieces for a look that screams funk-chic! Her African-print wax top is an exclusive buy from designer Aminah Muse (notice the intricate fish design on back), and the flowing peach skirt’s an American Apparel staple. But what’s a model without her shoes? The peep-toes add a little edge to Sequoia’s soft-peach look and also complement that statement-making grey clutch. Wait, Naomi Campbell who?
G’daaay, gorgeous! Let us tell you that the moment we met Tasmin – a Melbourne fashion student visiting the City – our mouths hit the floor. Her style is casual but cool in loose-fitted camel pants and one chic trilby! The almost-undone braids prove this girl’s got the look ‘au naturale’ and the ‘Love’ pendant only adds to her cuteness. And just take a second for the vintage wonder that is the floral-embossed leather shoulder bag…excuse us while we pick our mouths up off the floor.

All these spots are throwing us into a tizzy…a style tizzy!
Whether you’re into boho or bobo this Summer, we suggest you pack up the trend in a purse. We caught Kumiko rockin’ a beaded saddle bag with fringe a world away from her Japanese roots, while Bianca kept her look simpler in straw. Want to add a little quirk? Go all-out like Claire with rainbow stripes + furry tail attaché. Practical and pretty…always perfect!
