via vanessa jackman I think girls underestimate the power of a nice smile. Let’s make a deal-you never forget to smile and we’ll never forget to walk on the street side of the sidewalk, hold the door, and quietly marvel at how you can be simultaneously intimidating and impossibly charming all in one motion. via [...]

via The Mod Revival Nothing quite like a girl in a pair of pinstripe pants is there? Simple, classic, and understated.  The best thing about cities like New York? There’s girls like this around almost every corner-hailing taxis, walking down the street, even waiting in food cart lines.  The only bad thing about all these amazing [...]

Jake Davis Test Shots: Jamie Chung from Jake Davis on Vimeo. I have no idea what it is about you girls, a pair of aviators, and a slouchy jacket. I hope you all realize you have boy kryptonite on your hands. If anyone can capture the power of a girl in a cool jacket, it’s [...]
