Borderline Street Picks: February/March
1. NYC, Altamira NYC
Nick: What appeals to me here is the way she owns this look and makes it feel totally fresh: as if no one has ever looked like her before.
Carrie: Shoes, jacket, bag...face: the perfect balance of volume (jacket), bulk (heavy heel), and bling (bag).
2. Berlin, Glam Canyon
Nick: Not only is the outfit here spot-on, with its sleeveless blazer and ankle-hemmed pants, but the joyful attitude makes this street shot an instant favorite.
Carrie: What I love most here are the details, from the zippers on her pants to her killer menswear watch. You can tell she knows her way around a vintage rack but the look comes off as thoroughly 'today'.
3. NYC, Altamira NYC
Nick: Chic and dark, but with a playful side thanks to the oversized sweater and ramshackle boots, this look takes layering where it wants to go.
Carrie: Nothing compares to a well-executed monotone look. Especially when so many shades can be incorporated without straying from the focal color. And, especially, when that focal color is grey.
4. Paris, The Streets Walker
Carrie: After already falling in love with the girl in photo #1, I realized this stylish Paris photo had been taken of the same person (note the bag). I got so excited that comparisons to Carmen Sandiego and Unicorns were made. Seriously.
Nick: Carrie and I are on the same page with this one. We're prepared to start a fan club. Impeccably managed color, proportion, fit, and artfully worn accessories are obviously a signature look for her.
5. Tel Aviv, The Streets Walker
Carrie: This outfit strikes me as a genius way to approach transitional seasons. With bare-but-covered legs and a nice cozy layering piece she seems prepared for any temperature but perfectly chic.
Nick: It is refreshing to see a super-drapey piece in unexpected plaid, and paired with chestnut brown vintage accessories. She looks well put-together but eclectic at the same time.
6. Style Clicker
Nick: These two are the perfect Prada pair. I love how they both share a unified fashion strategy: strong patterns down below with amazing basics piled up on top.
Carrie: I give them both an 'A' for Attitude, but Nick is a bigger fan here than I am. I do love his bag and her sunglasses, gloves, and belt, but I get dizzy when faced with such aggressive prints.
7. Copenhagen, Copenhagen Street Style
Nick: I think that if Snow White was a cute little hipster girl living in Copenhagen, this is what she would wear. Thank goodness she punctuates her good-girl image with a statement-making smoke.
Carrie: Her pants/socks/shoes combination is going to be a springtime inspiration for me...and I'm extremely jealous of anyone who can pull off such an amazing haircut with this degree of success.
