I want to wish all Stylesightings readers Merry Christmas…Happy Holidays…and Happy New Year! I’ll be taking a short break to visit family in The Land That Style Forgot (a lovely state down South)…but will be back in the new year with loads of new and exciting stuff. Stay tuned and thanks for reading Stylesightings! xoxo Eddie

The Sounds aren’t on tour, but they jetted in from Sweden and played a one-off gig in Manhattan last night. I went and danced and these kids did too…

Kids I spotted out and about today in Nolita and on the Lower East Side. Someone did actually call the Cuteness Police on the Japanese girl with the poofy fur ear muffs. They decided not to fine her but did give a stern lecture about Americans not being prepared for such things and how she could startle people. She apologized profusely and agreed to leave them in her bag until arriving safely back on the moon – i.e. Tokyo.

Roaming with my camera on Madison and 5th Ave. today…

Always a big fan of high meeting low, I’m loving the colorful leather gloves I’m noticing on certain chic and streetwise girls this winter. They add a nice but understated (i.e. cool) jolt of color to an otherwise monochromatic urban uniform. My favorite ones appear to be thin, butter-soft Italian leather – ladylike and classic design paired with punky color is what you’re after here. The thinness is key – even a hint of bulk will ruin this look and make it appear as if you have dressed for warmth rather than fashion. I found the photos above while looking through recent streetstyle photos on Stylesight. My favorites are probably the lipstick red ones paired with a faded denim jacket and a charcoal grey dress (shot recently by one of our London-based photographers), but the fingerless blue ones paired with a pearl bracelet are the best example of prep meeting punk.

Stalking the stylish on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn today…

2:30pm – Washington Square SouthHer trench by Libertine for Target. The vibrant color of her coat is what first attracted my eye – a gorgeous admiral blue that really popped on an overcast day. I like the patch pockets and white stitching but my favorite detail is the oversized white buttons.
