The Actor

Posted by Emily on Thursday, April 18th, 2013
Boston Native Diego is an actor in the area. He said he plays a Brit for a local series. Yeah, I can see that––definitely some badass European vibes coming from this guy.

A photo taken last year that I never really got the chance to post. Loved the crazy pattern. You can’t quite see it in this photo, but she’s actually wearing a romper!

Fair Isle & Plaid

Posted by Emily on Sunday, April 7th, 2013
Spotted as I was walking towards Central Square: a mix of Fair Isle and Plaid. Kind of an unexpected combination, and you’d think it would result in something that clashes. But it somehow looks so well pulled together and subdued on this guy.
I think the choice of khakis and boat shoes is what keeps it so nicely conservative.

X Marks the Spot

Posted by Emily on Saturday, April 6th, 2013
Spotted outside of Brattle Square. Is that a bear-eared hat?
Quite fond of the X’s stitched on to her collared shirt.

Le Grunge

Posted by Emily on Friday, April 5th, 2013
For some odd reason, I don’t often post grunge outfits on this site. I suppose it’s a matter of individual preference, but somehow I felt that this particular lady, walking around one evening in Harvard Square, pulled off the style in such a compelling way. Soft fur material thrown against radioactive neons? Awesome. Would never have thought of such a unique combo myself.
This outfit speaks “thrift-store brilliance” if you ask me.
