Saucy Sarah – I thought Sarah looked so evergreen in her vintage Lacoste jacket and serious vintage Levi’s flairs. She’s also wearing an American Apparel bodysuit, a Marc by Marc Jacobs wishbone necklace mixed with vintage necklaces, a Target belt and Urban Outfitters shoes. She has an infectious laugh and likes to shop for unique and quirky clothes.
Sarah Nisch is a Brooklyn-based actress and singer whose first EP, By Heart, was fully funded by kickstarter and just released on Valentine’s Day. (You might even recognize the denim on her album cover.)
Vintage Lacoste + Vintage Levi’s
Yes, I went there. (Come on, the pocket detail was half the charm.)

Back in Black – I spotted Wei outside my new favorite coffee shop in Williamsburg and was drawn his textures. His SNS Herning sweater hinted of a waffle knit on fast forward and the fabric on his Carol Christian Poell pants was densely woven. (<< If you click their link, the video is worth the wait!) He’s also wearing a Rick Owens cap and Guidi shoes and topped off with a Chrome Hearts bracelet, plus rings that aren’t visible.
Wei is a designer who says his interest in fashion is in smaller artisanal studios. He explained, “The pieces I wear are generally minimal with emphasis in experimental textile treatments and unconventional construction techniques.” He’s up to something interesting in Williamsburg that I shouldn’t mention yet, but stay tuned and hopefully you’ll be seeing him again soon. I was curious where a guy with his taste shops and learned his favorite store is the tony Atelier New York. Natch.

Brooklyn Bound – I spotted model Laure-Anne Baillon walking down N. 7th Street on a windy day with a gorgeous posse of friends. If you’re nosey, you can find her images at Look Models International under Main Board models here.
You might’ve noticed I’m loving Brooklyn, lately. I have to find time to spot more neighborhoods, but who can blame me for my crush on Williamsburg?
I’m also major crushing on Laure-Anne’s look, especially the cardigan over the jacket and the pants pocket position. Such a cute ensemble.
She’s new here and has a lot of shops to discover, but Dalaga, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn has already made an impression and is where she got the cool pants. She also likes Beacon’s Closet, Buffalo Exchange, Mango, Zara, All Saints and Diesel.
Bye for now!

All You Need is Love – Filippa Berg is a special bird and someone Papermag once deemed a fashion icon. This Swedish writer + stylist is a voice featured on Rodeo.net and blogs here. I first spotted Filippa a few months ago when I was shooting Erickson Beamon’s presentation and party during New York Fashion Week. She slipped into the room quietly, but something about her was arresting.
I ran into her again at the Brooklyn Flea in Williamsburg and she flashed me a couple times when she lifted her sweater to give me her outfit details. (I told her she should put her boob away and she shrugged it off with a laugh.) She also showed me a sweater with a gaping hole in the armpit she found in her place after a party the night before. She’s a blast and was kind enough to indulge a few of my curiosities in a short Q & A below, continued after the jump. I have to say her answers surprised me and even shifted my perspective a bit. Please meet Filippa Berg.
Q: As a writer, what are your favorite types of stories to explore?
I love doing interviews. It’s like painting a portrait.
Q: How would you describe your style?
Nouveau poor.
Q: I’m so curious to know how tall you are – and how your height affects your fashion choices?
I’m very tall, I think [6'2"]. It’s great because I can wear Click for more Filippa >>>

Playful Patterns – When I stopped her for a shot on N. 7th Street in Williamsburg, her friends joked, “Again? It’s all about Nina!” Can we talk about her cute patterns, orange patent heels and anklet? Clever.

The Lost Files - I’m happy to have finally found a flash card I misplaced from New York Fashion Week. I’ll be featuring some personal faves this week and next, including some sneak peeks.
I spotted Natalie Suarez after a fashion show at Lincoln Center. She’s a model and a favorite blogger (Natalie Off Duty) that I once interviewed while I was in Los Angeles. I was thrilled to learn she’s now based in New York City and look forward to reading about her favorite places. I was experimenting with a rented lens that afternoon. Can you tell? I liked the pop of her red lipstick and Banana Republic bag, juxtaposed against that luxe coat.
I wonder where Natalie ended up living in the city. I like the simplicity of her bedroom (and the torn T and sparkly sequin shorts). The room reminds me of my own rental, simply white. I’m finding that a clean slate does wonders for creativity and it’s been pure bliss.

Two Rare – I spotted this limited edition Balenciaga Arena Bag with lattice leathers in the West Village (above) and Proenza Schouler’s elusive leather, snake and canvas pouch in Nolita (below). Finding them both in the same weekend was a bit like spotting unicorns.
