Krystal’s Rubber Chicken Handbag

 
I spotted Krystal the other day while I was looking for a copy of the Style.com/Print magazine at Quimby’s on North Avenue. I am really strict with myself about never pulling customers (or sales associates) out of stores because I never want to be disruptive to businesses. So when I saw Krystal browsing the Zine rack, I crept outside to wait. And wait. And wait. I watched two North Avenue buses sail past before Krystal walked out but it was totally worth it. I mean seriously, a rubber chicken handbag; there was no way in hell I would pass up the opportunity to snap a street-style photograph of such an intriguing accessory. She told me she purchased it at the Art Institute gift shop. Humor and great design in one piece, how genius!

New York Street Style: Sarah Rutson

Sarah Rutson is one of my personal style icons. She is constantly reinventing garments and combines a ladylike gentility with a hard-edged directional undercurrent. A few months ago I did a whole post about how much I love her style; click here to read it. I took this photo of her at New York fashion week in September 2011 outside of Alexander Wang.
