Street Style Report - Nolita,
NYC
A new style, dubbed undone chic, has arrived and
the women of Nolita (North of Little Italy) are
defining this look. It is the antithesis of perfect
because it is perfectly not perfect. This "one part
glamour, one part vintage, and two parts I don't
care" has replaced the well-manicured look of seasons
past. It all about mixing pieces that shouldn't
be put together and pretending they do. It requires
plenty of attitude and an offbeat sense of style.
Take a look at the photographs below taken by Stylesmart's
Fashion Photographer and remember you can never
say never when talking about fashion…

In
the Bag -
The most important accessory at your fingertips.
Making or breaking an outfit, handbag designers
are flooding the market with more options than
ever. Rather than spend their money on designer
apparel, consumers are opting to invest in more
exciting accessories to wear with basic wardrobe
pieces. For the past few seasons, handbags have
graduated from the basic black nylon sacs to signature
style pieces.
Pattern is back and one way to wear it without
being a victim is to keep it in the palm of your
hands. Sure some people can get away with all
over retro patterns, but most should keep it to
a minimum. Understanding the dilemmas regarding
pattern and body shape, handbag designers have
come to the rescue providing sleek designs using
the season's hottest prints.
Two up and coming handbag designers are making
an impact in the market with their witty sophisticated
lines. Buzz by Jane Fox
updates preppy classics with colorful trendy prints.
Childhood friends, Buzz designers Jane Schoenborn
and Alicia Fox, make bags for women who crave
classic style with an edge. In upscale stores
like Barney's - New York, Searle, and Eye of the
Needle and in fashion magazines such as Mademoiselle,
Cosmopolitan, and Glamour, Buzz by Jane Fox is
making a statement as a breath of fresh air in
the competitive accessory market.
