New York Look
One of the best things about being a New Yorker and into fashion is that you get to shop the streets. When my darling and I pound around the city, he looks up at the architecture while I comb over what people are wearing, thinking about how I can incorporate their stuff into my own look.
New York Magazine’s Look Book takes all of that raw visual delight and edits into a juicy, liberating, serial sartorial guide to Big Apple style. Last month’s Look Book piece about bead artist Suzanne Golden simply makes life worth living. Anyone who can take a gingham blazer and make it simultaneously waked out and pretty is my hero.
Susan and I must be on the same wavelength. As I looked at her colors and textures, I was reminded of Comme des Garçons Spring 08 line (which, dang it, left me pining again for that swing coat in navy gab and white buttons). When I went to Susan’s site, I clicked on her about page and found her draped in the lavender version of the same coat!
Do you think that the CDG boutique may still have one in a medium? If not, I’ll save my pennies for one of their heart or lip overcoats for fall 08.
