I want to be her!

Late ’50s Beatnik

I’m dreaming of a Greenwich Village-crawling hepcat from days gone by.

A no-makeup face with a saturatedred lip feels edgy with such a casual look. Authentic, unfashiony high waisted jeans can be hard to pull off, but with the right attitude (and maybe a little slight tailoring down the thigh), they’ll feel super-happening. A look like this calls for a plain moc.The no beading is key.

Big ethnic earrings ensure that the look is anything but preppy. Nothing says “I dig beat poetry” like the perfect striped sweater. An unflashy little watch looks like it’s just used to get to English-lit class on time. This bag is one part hard doctor case, one part lady bag with a dash of messenger. In other words, it satisfies many bag moods.

Andrea Linett and her friend creates beautiful illustrations or take photos of the New York girls whose dressing has impressed and inspired them. They then break down the outfit by asking the girls where are their pieces from and how we, the reader can get them! 

I want to be her!
