Babooshka-chic in Little Italy

My typical winter ensemble, on an atypically pleasant winter day. I started wrapping my scarf this way for practicality, but now it's almost become a trademark. I'm thinking of trying it with a light scarf for spring. Any thoughts? And did anyone else notice the prevalence of headscarves in French Vogue this past month?

You know it's a good day when you look over and see Project Runway alum Terri Stevens sitting opposite you on the bus, doing her own take on menswear style. We talked a little shop... and by that I mean the Oscars red carpet.

What's better than a well-dressed man? A well-dressed man with his equally polished lady friend! I love the Euro look these two have going on. There are so many fabulous, well thought-out details in their outfits-- like the brown and white checked socks, for example, peeking out under the man's jeans.
