School, Year, Major:
New School - Eugene Lang, Super Senior, Philosophy

Celebrating the completion of my MA.
Favorite store/brand?
Where are you from?
Connecticut
How would you describe your style?
Eclectic: some days I feel like wearing a rainbow shirt and celebrating my inner child, others I feel like wearing a wool skirt and celebrating my inner librarian.
Why we spotted her:
Caroline’s mix of textured skirt and girly, lacy top makes the look refined and fun all at once. The neutral flats help draw attention to her long legs with the high-waisted skirt lengthening her already fabulous figure. Caroline also seems to be a master of being cute on a budget by frequenting clothing swaps and the Salvation Army for her duds, keeping her outfit low cost yet still chic. The color of the entire ensemble keeps everything relaxed–perfect for a chill spring day!
Top: Clothes Swap, Free! Skirt: Salvation Army, $4. Shoes: DSW, $30 = $34
Caroline spotted at 13th between 5th and 6th Ave.

Why we spotted her:
Grace’s refreshingly colorful plum-pumpkin palette + adorb polka dot stockings perfectly exude a nostalgia-inducing 40s sophistication. She also changes it up with her impeccable layering — by matching the length of her jacket with the dress, she creates a more streamlined silhouette, elongating her look. And come on…how cute is her hair???
Dress: Vintage, $20 + Jacket: Vintage, $25 + Stockings: Urban Outfitters, $14 + Bag: APC, more than I could afford! + Shoes: Marais USA, $60 = $119
Grace spotted right outside school.

Where are you headed?
Washington Square Park
Where are you from?
San Francisco
Favorite store/brand?
Zara, Uniqlo, TopMan, Proenza Schouler, Gucci, Lanvin
How would you describe your style?
I love to look well put together, but I also love to look grungy–NOT pajamas or sweats, but more like a simple shirt with a cardigan and sneakers. But I’m also influenced by my sisters: they’re full on punks with mohawks, and bihawks and studs and patches. I don’t feel comfortable wearing those clothes; I simply take elements that I like. So as you can see, my style is everywhere, but overall I just like what I like.
Any fashion blogs you like reading?:
I love my own blog, hahaha SELF PROMOTION! It’s michaelbrambila.tumblr.com/ and I also follow Bryanboy.com and my friend Amy at amycakesdankydank.tumblr.com/.
Anything else you’d like to add?
Homegirls/boys, I sell clothes on etsy. Go check it out. Eww, I probably sound like such a dweeb. I’m not this lame in person, but it’s debatable…IDK. I just love fashion. It’s literally what I live for.
Why we spotted him:
Michael describes it best: he really knows how to smooth the edges of a tough aesthetic. The pieces of this look are fitted, balanced, and composited with borderline surgical precision, making its punk elements feel all the more mischievous. I’m loving Michael’s uncomplicated approach to high-impact dressing!
Shirt: TopMan,$25. Sweater: made it, $0. Jacket: TopMan, $100. Pants: Urban Outfitters, $50. Shoes: Converse, gift.
Michael spotted at 13th and 6th Avenue.

Favorite store/brand?
How would you describe your style?
Trendy
Why we spotted her:
Cute and comfortable, slouchy and fitted: Paula’s look masters the ever-present challenge of making loungewear chic. The lines of the coat and leggings perfectly balance Paula’s relaxed-fit top and arctic-ready boots. With pieces like this I might not even mind a slight dip in the temperature again!
Sweater: BBC, boyfriend. Shoes: Intermix, $200. Scarf: Intermix, $150. Bag: Marc Jacobs, $200.
Paula spotted at George Washington University.
