(taken on St Marks Place ... just down the road from the old CBGB's!!
one of my favourite parts of New York. It was late Thursday afternoon,
the whole day was very sunny, wandering around lots of leafy streets.
it had a nice hazy feeling to it, like the kind you get when are thinking
back to something nice. a great day)

... I like to change.
trousers: pleather leggings from eBay
boots: boots ... that are old!!
bracelets: some of my bracelets are hand-made, like these silver ones
which are made out of my bass strings. I don't like to waste ... it symbolises
me being a musician
style inspiration: definitely 70's/80's + european ... like a lot of the stuff
that's going on in Sweden that they call Sleaze is definitely an influence
for me. I usually have my hair all straight and teased up ... I'm lazy today
... today's a lazy day for me! - but that's what's really inspiring me

Robin, 23
(taken after I'd left 7th Avenue on my way to Lower east Side,
a little street somewhere around Greenwich Village/Soho**)
**it turned out to be a mild day so I'd taken my (Unbroken Smiths
Meat Is Murder homage) hoodie off. but I spilt pumpkin spice latte
down my white t shirt (yeah, I know - so.cool.) so had to spend the
day with the hoodie back on zipped up. otherwise it'd be 'hi I do a
style feature on my blog ... coffee stain on full display. I told Robin
about this ... she laughed!! ... even after washing it there is still a
faint mark on the t shirt ... I kind of like that I know which is the
exact t shirt that I was wearing that day ... my first proper day
wandering around new york.

jacket: a goodwill in Alabama
boots: I found them outside somebody's apartment ... and I stole
them!!

so I wanted to wear as much as I could. I was like, what is going to match
with this coat ... so I wore all black and then I wore the coat

not that one! I saw Phish recently, that was good, in Maryland, Baltimore
