Super Street Style or Why These People Look So Damn Good
[ 29 January 2007 ]
Some of my favourite recent looks from Flickr & Hel-Looks. Daily outfits with a twist, yessir.
Roxanne (also has persephassa.com). Somebody on a Livejournal community recently asked how do you feel about colour combinations of black/navy, brown/black? & I answered, bring it on! When done well, it looks great. I think Roxanne proves my point very well — the brown belt around the black dress looks excellent. I love the high-heeled mary janes & the white collar with the white stockings. White stockings can be hard to wear since can make you look kind of plump, but I think that if you only show from the knee down, it looks great, as seen here.
I love the proportions of this outfit — that enormous hooded sweatshirt with the leggings & bizarrely-laced boots. The latex mask across the eyes is great too. Not an outfit for everyday, but certainly an interesting look.
I’m not sure about the stockings. The outfit is quirky enough without them, something a bit simpler would have been more effective. But the hat is perfect, the dress is fabulous, I love the brooch on the dress & the handbag as well. On closer inspection, it appears that she might be pregnant?! If so, she is definitely the most well-dressed pregnant woman I have ever seen.
This outfit isn’t too amazing (gothic lolita style is a bit easy & has never really grabbed me in a big way), but I love the enormous hair in conjunction with the scarf around the neck. Beautiful.
She is immaculate! So stylish it hurts! Let’s see: her umbrella, sweater, gloves, stockings & heels are all in a matching shade of tangerine. The black jacket with the elaborately-knotted (& detailed) scarf is just too divine for words, & I like the extra splash of mustard yellow in the skirt. Makes the outfit a little different, rather than just sticking to black + tangerine. Even better, she looks like she KNOWS how good she looks, & is proud of it. Good for her! I bet she has the most incredible house.
These two look great, don’t they? I suspect they look better as a unit than alone — they set off the other person’s look wonderfully. The flowing blonde locks work really well on both of them. I like his hat (& the way it makes his ears look pixie-esque), though I would have undone the last button on the jacket. I also don’t think I have ever seen pants so tight. (I hear it’s bad for the sperm count.) She is gorgeous, which helps, but I like the rustic/vintage/childlike look she has going on here. Great saddle shoes (so adorable!) & the feathers hanging off the bag totally make it.
I love the way she’s coyly peering out from behind her bleached hair. Can you tell I am totally into the bandanna-around-the-neck thing? She’s wearing hers over a hoodie (clever), & then covering the hoodie with a black tunic with an incredibly odd cut. Cute ripped jeans with black stockings underneath, & did you notice her bag?! Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck! I bet she found it in a vintage store for $3 & it made her day.
Great hat, great scarf, great jacket. The hat, jacket & shoes all match which makes the outfit work really well. Hints of blue in the scarf & a blue hoodie with dark-wash jeans. So cool. He knows he looks good, too, just like the girl with the tangerine umbrella. He is also toting a Mickey Mouse bag — maybe that’s big in Scandinavia at the moment (does anyone know?). I love a guy who isn’t afraid to carry a bag. Props to you, my friend!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

ahhh, these are all great.
the look that ‘tangerine woman’ has on her face reminds me of bree from desperate housewives! very ‘proper’ looking. and i bet you’re right about the house :D
She has such great cheekbones & hair! Quelle cutie.
i am in love with the oversized hoodie in number 2. it looks like a cassette playa piece – do you know where it’s from?

Pic 6 is so hot. They fit together so well. My god, I’d kill for legs like his!!! He seriously rocks his girlfriend’s skinny jeans!!!
Pic 2 – guys in leggings!?
Might catch on…slowly.
Sophie — From the page: “The latex mask is by Kirsi Nisonen, the hoodie is by Daniel Palillo, the KTZ leggings are from Wunder, the Japan inspired boots are vintage Diesel.
Nu rave and renaissance, the time of Christopher Columbus and baggy shapes inspire me – but always with a touch of Nazi Germany to avoid a too clowny and buffoon look!”
baby – nu rave never existed other than a brief comment in NME by Klaxons… ;-)
oooh it’s a black shiny belt; no brown at all! but i do approve of brown with black, and really any colors that supposedly clash: like pink & red are just meant to go together.
ta.
Aw! On my screen it looks brown. Oh well!
I think it looks brown because navy blue (the dress) tends to show down black a bit!
Sorry for a 10-month late comment :>
An 11-month late comment: the person with the fringe and Disney bag is quite clearly a boy!
Yeah I agree…I believe that “she” is a he. Looks like that guy that told the world to leave Britney ALONE. Whats his name? Chris Crocker?
