Style on the Street: Highlighter Hues for the Hoi Polloi

I revere Anna Wintour and Vogue magazine. ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ is my favorite vacay movie. But just to cut through the idealization, this time I’m going to take the piss and show how style translates from haute couture to proletariat.

Rempel - Style on the Street - 1 Hues July 2019
Highlighter hues as seen on the celebs in Vogue.

I ripped this page out of May Vogue for inspiration, when I was in Paris checking out the style in the Fashion Capital.

When I got back to New York, I spotted these highlighter hues everywhere! Taking it to the street…

So you see, you don’t have to be rich and famous to dress like the stars. Just color-match and you’re there!

Style on the Street: West Village in Springtime

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve been writing fashion pieces for the WestView News. With spring hovering near, the West Village is starting to take on a greenish hue. Tiny leaves are budding on the trees in sunny gardens. Birdsong is in the air, calling us to spring forward out of our beds at an earlier hour. A sprinkling of fairy dust was also in the air on St. Patrick’s day, as West Village residents and visitors alike took to the streets sporting green to celebrate our favorite Irish holiday.

It’s an eerie coincidence that Paul MacKnight works at both Barre3 and Bar Six, both in the West Village. (And frequents Hell’s Kitchen’s Bar Nine, the dueling piano bar?) He poured a wicked Irish coffee on Sunday, serving it up to St. Patrick’s Day patrons during his shift behind the bar. In honor of the day, he put on some gold and green sparkle, making him the pixiest bartender in town.
