This season long is definitely on trend, but I was wondering what you prefer?
Ankle-grazing maxi or short minis?
Or maybe take a page from Viviana
and choose a ladylike in between?

Biker Chick Chic
These women are my heroes. They get around by riding gorgeous bikes and they do it in HEELS (these aint no kitten heels either). Makes me ashamed of when I kick mine off to drive my car... One day I hope to be as cool as they are.

Wideleg Jeans
I heart wideleg jeans. They elevate any outfit to another level of sophistication. They are a plain white T's best friend for the weekends, but can be dressed up with a blouse and blazer for the work place. In fact, I wore a dark rinse pair from Tory Burch to a job interview a few weeks ago. Not saying my interviewer was so impressed by my fashion selection he gave me the job, but I am one of their employees now...
**Disclaimer: I do understand wearing jeans to a job interview is a faux-pas in most cases. I highly suggest when in doubt, a pencil skirt or tailored slack are you best bet. I don't want anyone to loose a job because they wore jeans to the interview. Just sayin'.**

That Girl.
I am frequently attracted to a sparkling bracelet, brave new nail color, exciting hemline, and resplendent tresses.
In New York everyone lives out loud, and the opportunities abound to encounter exceptional sartorial choices.
But amidst this jungle of beautiful animals, sometimes you pass someone and feel the presence of a person fully imbued with that certain je ne sais quoi.
They are more than the sum of their parts.
I call these people--for they are almost always females who catch my attention--"That Girl."
(Note: "That Girl" is not to be confused with an "It Girl." They are almost always polar opposites in their approach.)
Here are a few recent photos taken by The Sartorialist and Tommy Ton of Those Girls traipsing around--showcasing their nonpareil charm--in my own city:
With all the people I see lingering around certain sections of New York just hoping for The Sartorialist or Garance Dore to spot them and shoot them (and honestly, it's so formulaic that Refinery29 created a guide for achieving just that: HERE), it's lovely to see exceptional people simply living their lives...and, by chance, once in awhile a camera fleetingly captures the beauty of their existence.
"When a girl feels that she's perfectly groomed and dressed she can forget that part of her.
That's charm.
The more parts of yourself you can afford to forget, the more charm you have."
(F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" via Women's Wardrobe)
To the effortless charm of That Girl,
Cxx.

Back It Up
Its always great when the back of an outfit holds a little surprise - whether it be a dramatic scoop, buttons, or colourful heels.
"You have to pick the places you don't walk away from."
-Joan Didion

Street Chic: 01.13.10
I fell in love with Joana's outfit the other day on The Sartorialist. Today another great look. Fun and chic and don't even get me started on the bag. To. Die. For.
