IRL: Style in Real Life - Issue 2: spring 09 - 4/15/09 - a not serious at all weekly exploration of hayden-harnett style by very real people
Jessica Gold - Height 5'3 on a good day!) what do you do IRL? marketing/business development consultant, obsessed with interior design, blogs, flea markets and ebay - your URL? www.jgandconyc.com why did you choose thise look? i've always been inspired by jackie o and audrey hepburn. I love a look that's feminine with a bit of quirkiness. I've been wearing the parker trench a ton recently, and am addicted to its perfect swingy fit. I love the thalia dress for the great print and classic shape. I'm carrying the lorca in eucalyptus as it works from day to night, and fits all of my essentials. I like to wear one or two pieces of great jewelery every day and here I played-up my look with a really unique pade vavra ring and these luminous dangly leather earrings.
Connie Mui-Reilly - height: 5'5 - What do you do IRL? I am a technical helpdesk manager at Corcoran, a luxury real estate firm based in NYC. My free time is spent hanging out with my hubby Francis and our two delicious children Katy (6) and Shen (3). I am working to get my certificate for image consulting at the fashion institute of technology. I am a yoga fanatic and try to practice five times per week. Favorite URL? www.polyvore.com, www.purseforum.com. WHy did you choose look one? I couldn't resist trying on the boudoir bathing suit. It has such a retro look and is so different from a typical suit. The dekker jacket has such a hip vibe and wrks well dressed up or down. A look is never complete without cool accessories, so I opted to combine a short and long necklace. I love big bags and the wyeth tote just completes the look, in my opinion. This is more of a fantasy look - I doubt I can pull off the bathing suite with black tights IRL, but fun while it lasted. Why did you choose look two? This is an IRL work uniform for me. I love wearing dresses or tunics over tights with a pair of booties. This outfit is both comfortable and stylish. One can never have just one hh cuff so I piled on several. the zeus origami bag is just dreamy. it's light but large enough to carry my work essentials. I love the ginger color of the clutch wallet: it will never get lost in a big bag!
