NY Fashion Week: Street Style Standouts (Or, Admitting I Have A Complex)

I've never had a mink break my heart, steal my latte or take the last discounted designer dress in my size so I'm not sure why I seem to have such an agenda to wear their fur. It's a bit morbid and wrong, I know, but I'm completely obsessed with every fur draped lady that was spotted in NY last week.

There's plenty of politically correct things to love about these images as well (hello bell bottoms; floppy hats; circle glasses; maxis) so take a peek and let me know your favorites.

Bill Cunningham said that the best runway show has always been, and will always be, on the street. I can't disagree.

Girl Crush: Jane Birkin

The name Birkin really never meant much to me aside from the beloved Hermes bag, until this weekend when I stumbled upon images of the British actress, singer and muse. Her style was so effortless and cool and left me mildly obsessed with anything she wore.

Take a peek at the images below for some inspiration...

Blogspiration

If you've ever laid eyes on my blog roll (titled blogosphere gems) then you know I'm a fan of a handful of fabulous fashion blogs that chronicle the daily ensembles of stylish ladies. Everyday (with the exception of the weekends because I ban myself from my beloved laptop) I find myself inspired by their get-ups and bravado. What makes each of their blogs successful is a unique point of view which is reflected in all of their stylings.

I decided to capture some of my recent blogspirations for you and hope that you'll leave me a comment with your thoughts! xx
