Each New York Fashion Week season I mainly get excited for one thing: STREET STYLE. Since I’ve only experienced the event from home via the internet, Instagram or Twitter the most realistic aspect to me is style on the street. I have several go-to sites for the best coverage of what I like to call “the concrete runway” and I wanted to share them with you, not an any particular order, here they are:
Mr. Newton

He’s a photographer and blogger with an eye for pretty girls in pretty clothes and usually snaps good angles. I like that it’s not always super fancy attire that I can actually relate to my own style.
Jak and Jil

Shot by Tommy Ton this blog is full of high-res up-close shots of fashionable men and women. I’ve always enjoyed his focus on accessories and shoes. His work is on GQ.com and Style.com so you could also visit those sites to see photos that don’t make it to his Tumblr.
Harpers Bazaar

Harper’s is always capturing great street style and are a go-to for festival style as well, really like their large high-quality images. Also they take notice to fashion bloggers which is something I definitely appreciate.
Elle

As well-rounded as the magazine, Elle.com is loaded with fashion week information such as complete shows and street style. Chose the above photo from the current NYFW because I’m mildly obsessed with her coat, ok, very obsessed!
Vogue

I feel like this is a “DUH.” but their street style photography is different than the common strike-a-pose full outfit shot and like you’d expect they have detailed coverage of all things fashion week related even parties!
Vanessa Jackman

I really admire Vanessa’s site, it’s clean and simple, her photography is beautiful and she seems to really connect with the people she photographs. The photos are soft and nicely edited. She travels all over the world so you can see style from Paris to Milan.
Refinery 29

Big fan of their emails which are usually funny and informative and also a fan of their style coverage from fashion week to the day-to-day streets of large cities, R29 is a must for a daily site and NYFW.
Additional great sites to visit: Style Caster, Vanity Fair, Teen Vogue or fashion bloggers that are in attendance such as Blonde Salad or Song of Style. Have a super weekend!
I don’t know about your city but Atlanta’s temperatures have plummeted once again. We had another cold front roll through and it feels like we may not get Spring for a little while longer. I’ve seen it snow in March in Alabama so I try not to get my hopes up with warmer days until around April. This outfit is from a few weekends ago when Dustin and I went shopping around Atlantic Station. We each splurged at H&M getting basics and the pieces we wore on Valentines Day.
Wearing my all-time favorite jacket by BB Dakota, Free People top, Gap khakis, Nine West booties, TOMS shades and Kate Spade purse.
