RE: "The 40 Worst-Dressed Cities in America" (GQ)

Over the summer, I came across an article from Gentleman's Quarterly called "The 40 Worst-Dressed Cities in America." After seeing this title, I was bound to read it.

#40 Boulder, CO

They have finally released the photoset for the Versace for H&M collection, The Very Best of Versace for H&M!

Mainly because I love this woman and secondarily because it's relevant.

SPOTTED

Schenley Plaza

You know what's funny? I'm actually painfully shy, so it's really hard for me to approach people and ask for a picture. However, people generally turn out a lot more accommodating than one might expect. It's nice that they're so nice, especially since it takes so much time and effort for me to muster up courage, haha. (I'm working on it!)

THE LOOK: A-Line // The Dregs of Summer

The last days of summer weather are here, and I'm watching them go by with a heavy heart. Well, I guess those days left a while back, but I was fooled by the sun and warmth of the past week.

A Change of Affairs

I've recently decided that I need to start focusing this blog.
This means that I'm going to keep all of my random things to the side and keep this more as my collection for fashion-related items. I think I'll also have a weekly roundup or something, but I'm not sure yet -- I'm still working things out.

For those who enjoy the random thoughts I have, I'm still keeping my tumblr running. Feel free to check that out at http://pittstylevincent.tumblr.com!

Anyways, more stuff to come up soon!
Snap and crackle, baby.

South Side Art, Flamenco

I went to my first flamenco performance yesterday. And it was pretty awesome, I have to admit. I had actually expected something super sensual, but it was all energy and fire -- a nice surprise.

Pittsburgh Fashion Week, Days 6 and 7

I apologize for not having posted during the weekend; I was out of the state at a competition.
However, I have exciting news!
I ordered a set of (faux) furs and zippers a while back, and they finally arrived. I have exciting plans for them and can't wait to have fun... when I finally have free time, that is.

Brass zippers from YKK

Long shag fur

Short-hair fur

In the meantime, I'll be posting up one of the exciting projects that I completed recently.
Keep your eyes peeled!

Pittsburgh Fashion Week: Day 5 // Gallery Crawl

Yesterday (Friday) was full of downtown frenzy with the Gallery Crawl, a quarterly event held by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Basically, they exhibit art in different locations for free, and you just visit.

It's literally as easy as it sounds.

So I got coffee with my friend and went with her. The idea of the Gallery Crawl was apparently somewhat novel to her, so I think she enjoyed it.

It was raining, which made me somewhat sad since I hate being wet. But I was happy to spend time with her since I've become so much more antisocial with people so far (though in my defense, it's because I'm so busy), so I can't complain too much.

Anyways, I went for a casual look for Friday.

It was raining, so my hair was a mess. Boo, rain.
