On The Go Near Union Square

The other day I was walking through Union Square when I spotted this gorgeous woman. I rushed through the crowds and finally caught up with her and asked if I could take her photo. We exchanged cards so hopefully you will see a lot more of her very soon!

Ilona is Back

I couldn't be more thrilled by the fact that Ilona is back from her three month stay in Provincetown. It was so wonderful catching up and hearing about all of her adventures by the sea.

Before i went on holiday to Turkey, my blogger girls and i had our drink time in the afternoon (you can see by my shorter hair that it was almost two months ago). For that day, i picked a relaxing look, favorite boyfriend jeans, sneakers, oversized sweater and a little bit of jewelery. Comfy and easy for spending hours and hours outside your home.

Alice Carey Reflects on Her Mother's Vintage Dress

Each time I get together with Alice Carey, she pulls out the most marvelous pieces of clothing from her wardrobe. Alice has a way with clothes-- she can swiftly turn an old men's suit jacket into the most elegant coat, just by adding a few bakelite buttons and a brooch. This past weekend Alice was dying to show me a dress of her mother's that she brought back from Ireland. Check out her story below and for more of  her writings you can find her book HERE.

 I’ve wanted Ari to photograph me in this dress for a long time.  You see it was my Mother’s, and it’s the only thing of hers that I own.  So a few weeks ago I brought it to New York from Ireland, where she was born.

The buttery yellow Irish linen, made even more buttery from the sun as I examine it here on the bed, hasn’t faded.  The Deco styling echoes the 1920s and made me think of the Empire State Building.  And on closer inspection, it appears to be handmade with the exception of the help of a sewing machine for belt hooks, two snazzy ‘V’ darts running from bust to waist and repeated down from the shoulders.  Also two similar lines from waist to just above the hem that must have given kick room to show off shoes – perhaps brown and white spectators.  Everything else seems to be hand sewn.

It’s just a dress. Yes.  Worth several hundred dollars in a Vintage store today.  Yet, I’m left with thinking, who was that young woman (younger than I am now) who made this dress?  I don’t know.  My Mother died when I was barely out of my teens.  When I was a child, one didn’t ask about the past.  It would have been rude.  So the young woman who made that dress, wasn’t the mother I knew who worked as a maid for the rich.  And so the memories I’m left with are those of her clothes, always bought at the great New York department stores – Bonwits, Bergdorfs, Altmans, Tailored Women.  On sale of course.  Then again, wearing a Hattie Carnegie to Mass no one knew the difference but she and I.   

Near Central Park

This absolutely charming lady was sitting on a bench on the edge of Central Park when I asked if I could photograph her. I was struck by her wonderful curls, eye makeup, and bright red lipstick and nails. She reminded me of my grandmother and all of her friends--woman who didn't leave the house without doing there hair and putting on their makeup. Even when my grandmother wasn't dressed up, she had to have her hair done, put on a  little bit of lipstick and a spray of her favorite carnation perfume.

Wouldn`t be great if the autumn decide to surprise us and give us the dreaming temperatures so we could wear dresses, shorts, layers but still bare legs?! I`m voting for it! This time, i paired a beige dress with black collar and buttons , cat eye sunglasses, classic black shoes and Kelly look a like bag.
What do you think about my match? ;)

Now, i need to make a confession: i`m totally in love with this look and photos! No, i`m not a narcissistic person at all, but com on , look at them! ;) Something between Isabel Marant and my high school r`n`b playlist, i managed to keep together all my favorite pieces. Boots (on a bare legs of course), ripped shorts, tee with the numbers and aviators. The addition was this cap which is a great way to cover your "dirty" hair! ;)
Hope you can recognize my true character through the photos, because they represent me better than the rest!
Can`t wait to hear your thoughts about this sporty look! :)

p.s. huge thanks to my beloved Olja!
