New York Street Beat: Just White


You’ve heard it all before: sticking to one color is a slimming choice. But when that one color is white, and the silhouette is so flattering, then the effect can be truly sublime.

We were knocked out by Mar’s smart ensemble; monochromatic but nowhere near boring. The hairstylist was spotted in Soho sporting an H&M top, an American Apparel skirt, and strappy pumps scored at Bloomies. All of her choices were spot on, from the neckline that accentuated her delicate features to the ladylike envelope clutch.

New York Street Beat: Go, Sweet Racer, Go

I am always on the prowl for style-forward fashionistas, but when one does a back flip into fabulous I go ga-ga. Case in point, the racer back tanks seen here. A stylish take on a summertime staple, these pretties will have you looking good both coming and going.

The first one’s look is so fresh – I love the juxtaposition of the crisp white tee, perfectly balanced with the off-white embroidery around the neck, a slight nod to retro yet thoroughly modern.

The second look is on the one hand bohemian and on the other downtown, romantic and edgy – she’s keeping cool in all senses of the word.

Steal their effortless style with these finds, sure to make folks do a double-take.
