Kaitlin,19, Student

Got Her: Shopping at the Juicy Couture/Teen Vogue Fashion University Party.

Stalked Her: Because in a sea of over-accessorized youth her subtle mix of classic and punk caught our eye.

Shot Her: Because she took simple pieces and combined them perfectly. And the lacing on the back of her blazer is detailing perfection. Not to mention we’re suckers for Doc Martens.

She Said: “I like to dress in contradictions that mesh together.”

We said: The student becomes the teacher.

Eric & Aris, both 21, Photographer & Promoter

Got Them: Hanging out on the corner of Prince & Crosby soaking up the single burst of sunshine.

Stalked them: Because on this particularly windy afternoon, the biker jacket on the left and the torn sweater on the right were perfect protective layers.

Shot Them: Because Eric’s jacket fed our current leather addiction (which always hits when fall does). And when we got closer, it only got better. Aris has clearly mastered the art of mixing textures and accessories. These boys make hipster goth look good.

Aris Said: “The sweater was a hand me down and so was the jewelry. And I wear these pants and boots everyday.”

Eric Said: “I really just pulled sh*t out of the closet.”

We said: Want to trade closets?

Sarah, Buyer

Got Her: Rushing in and out of the bathroom pre-Guy Laroche at the Louvre.

Stalked Her: Because I couldn’t believe my eyes, was that a mom in Balmain?

Shot Her: Isn’t it obvious?

She Said: “I am a buyer for the department store Detail in Korea, and everything I am wearing is Balmain, except the t-shirt. It’s just a t-shirt. Oh, and the necklace is Erickson Beamon.”

We Said: This is multi-tasking at its best.

Fashion’s Mystery Man, 28, Journalist & Stylist

Got him: Just before Viktor & Rolf in Paparazzi Alley (our new nickname for the walk through the Jardin des Tuilieries, the necessary route to the Espace Ephémère).

Stalked him: Because he’s at every show at every fashion week, almost always front row, and no one knows who he is.

Shot him: Because he’s all about the color in a world of bondage shoes and peaked shoulders.

He said: “I am a stylist and journalist in China”

We say: Sorry, between your whisper-soft voice and strong accent we can’t quite understand you. But that’s okay, your look speaks for itself.

—REBECCA SUHRAWARDI AUSTIN

Louise Ebel, 24, Blogger

Got her: Having a bite on the Quai Malaquais, pre-Rick.

Stalked her: Have you seen her hair? Her headband? (ed. note. And just when we’d rejoiced in Dan throwing Blair’s down the stairs?) Her boots? The purse?

Shot her: Because she’s incorporated too many major trends. And yet, she fails to look like a fashion victim.

She said: “I love my headband, it’s by my friend, Madame Sal.”

We said: There’s a reason you’re the most photographed girl in Paris.

—REBECCA SUHRAWARDI AUSTIN

Tanya Jones, 27, Stylist from Milan

Got her: Sitting pretty at Gareth Pugh. It’s the first big Paris show, so everyone’s happy.

Stalked her: Her stripes, boyfriend blazer and tortoiseshell glasses were effortless prep, but that red lip gave her a much needed edge.

Shot her: Because amongst all the Rihanna and Daphne Guinness and crazy London cool kid mayhem at Gareth, she stood out as being very relaxed about it all.

She said: “I just arrived in Paris today, so this is my traveling outfit, it’s comfy, it’s jersey. This is not a look for a show.”

We said: If that isn’t a look, then we are doing something seriously wrong.

—REBECCA SUHRAWARDI AUSTIN

Kate, 33, Stylist and Creative Director

Got Her: Walking down Prince Street on one of the first really chilly days of the year.

Stalked Her: We knew as soon as we stepped outside today that people all over town would be piling on the layers and breaking out their new fall pieces. Bring on the cute hats and scarves.

Shot Her: Because she has transitional dressing down. Her simple, classic look works perfectly for the current weather, but would be just as great in the spring — sans the tights and chunky sweater.

She Said: “I collect striped shirts, and that’s why I put this one on this morning. A friend of mine recently wrote a piece for Vogue about how to wear shorts in the Fall, so I was inspired to try it out.”

We Say: We’re actually pretty excited about this change in temperature. New outfits for all.

Darla, 20, model

Got Her: Strolling Mott Street with her man on the most gorgeous fall afternoon.

Stalked Her: A denim dress done right always catches our eye. Plus her cute knit hat’s the kind of thing you need to properly transition from one season to the next.

Shot Her: It’s technically Fashion Week somewhere, so bring on the models. Her little red bag matched her nails (and her cell phone case!) and we never fail to fall in love with sneakers paired with little dresses (again, when done right).

She Said: “I’m all about comfort.”

We Say: So says every model, and yet all of you always look perfect (not to generalize or anything).

Celine, Director of PR for Eres and Bourjois

Got Her: Jill Stuart show, New York Public Library

Stalked Her: Because redheads can definitely pull off red, especially this Isabel Marant dress with an Eres bra showing (of course!)

Shot Her: Um, that necklace (Fendi) and those booties (Stella) made us squeal just a little bit. And the purple!

She Said: “This is my friend’s necklace that she never wears. I told her she was stupid for not wearing it.” We agree.

We Say: We wish we were as cool as all the French girls we see. It just looks so darn effortless. Sigh.

Rachel, 23, Profession: “up in the air”

Got Her: Strolling down Mott, pre-rain.

Stalked Her: Because really, when a dress that bright walks by, you can’t help but stalk - at least with your eyes.

Shot Her: Because nothing says summer like a floral maxi dress and now it feels like summer’s almost over; we had to capture the moment.

She Said: “I love anything full of color - and florals. I never wear black.”

We Say: Thanks for brightening our day!

Callie, 26, Interior Designer

Got Her: Walking through Union Square on her lunch break during this almost-Fall day.

Stalked Her: Because we’re a sucker for really great embroidery and we loved that her outfit matched, without being matchy-matchy.

Shot Her: Because nothing’s better than looking supremely comfortable and chic at the same time. Plus, we’re super jealous of that oversized leather clutch. Aviators, bangles, and pink polish don’t hurt either.

She Said: “I love color and flea market finds. I tried on a bunch of outfits this morning and after twenty-five minutes, settled on this one.”

We Say: Our office could use a makeover?

Annabel Dexter-Jones, Model (we know, but it’s almost Fashion Week!)

Got Her: At the Chelsea Piers Lighthouse for the I Heart Ronson and JC Penney party last week.

Stalked Her: Because everyone was wearing Charlotte Ronson; she did it best and we’re a sucker for blue and orange. Plus, we’re (or I’m) seriously considering going blond and her hair is surfer perfect.

Shot Her: Because despite our strict no-models-if-not-at-Fashion-Week-rule, we couldn’t help ourselves. With the florals and the sheer and the suede and the weaving, there was a lot going on and yet it looks so easy.

She Said: “It’s all Charlotte, of course!”

We Say: You do your sister proud.

MariaSole, 22, shopgirl

Got Her: Strolling around the Palais Royal Boutique, taking a breather from work.

Stalked Her: It was girl crush at first sight. I’m obsessed with that blue, especially when it ruffles so perfectly. And once she started talking I wanted to listen to her exquisite accent forever.

Shot Her: Because she’s somehow managed to make DSquared2’s pointy shoulders and her own antique gems look daytime appropriate. Also, it’s really hard to pull off matching so well.

She Said: “Each person has a color that truly represents their soul. I love primary colors a la Castelbeljac and blue is mine! Oh and this jacket is my little mascot for the year.”

We Say: Can you be our mascot?

—MONICA AINLEY

Nola, 23, student

Got Her: Strolling down Broadway.

Stalked Her: Her necklace. Her earrings. Her skirt. Basically we were obsessed. Plus her shirt kinda looks like the dearly missed DKNY billboard.

Shot Her: Because the juxtaposition of her super casual tee and long, pleated skirt is effortless, and we love a statement necklace.

She Said: “I wear a lot of hand-me-downs from my mom and my aunt. My mom got this shirt when she was visiting NYC in the eighties, so I took it. I rarely buy anything.”

We Say: So, who gets your hand-me-downs?

—MELISSA ELLIOTT

Katy, 25, works for Blue State Digital

Got Her: Strolling the West Side Highway Sunday morning.

Stalked Her: I feel stupid for not taking a picture (she might’ve had coffee, but I hadn’t quite yet), but her dress had a long gold zipper falling down the back.

Shot Her: Because when we got up close we saw her awesome pink ombre vintage sunglasses. Also, we’ve seen a lot of hats this summer and this one’s in the top five.

She Said: “I needed a way to turn last night’s dress into an acceptable this morning’s outfit, so I borrowed my friend’s hat - a girl! - and threw on the simplest sandals I had.”

We Say: Simple maybe, but still kind of perfect.

Ed. note: She spent the night at her friend’s house, was in town from DC visiting various friends. Was supposed to make that clearer, clearly!

Alison, 23, salesgirl

Got Her: Working at Amarcord Vintage (best store ever!) in Williamsburg.

Stalked Her: Well, actually, we were taking a shopping break…

Shot Her: It was the purple heels and the neon nails.

She Said: “I try to dress down so people pay more attention to the clothes in the store than to what I’m wearing. But I do love accessories! They’re an easy way to add spark to my outfits.”

We Say: Sparks are flying.

—AMANDA JEAN BOYLE

Whitney, 21, intern

Got Her: Waiting for her bus on Bedford Ave.

Stalked Her: Because her high-waisted yellow linen skirt was begging to be photographed.

Shot Her: Because we love a girl in a hat. We especially love a girl who can pull off a hat and bright yellow skirt at the same time. And did you see those shoes? She looks like the epitome of casual on-the-go chic.

She Said: “I love mixing old and new pieces and mixing different textures. I really like exaggerated proportions right now”

We Say: Keep on mixing and matching the brights and the caps!

—MELISSA ELLIOTT

Tiny, 21, intern

Got Her: Strolling down Broadway.

Stalked Her: Bright colors on a tall girl (don’t let her moniker fool you) will always catch our attention.

Shot Her: Her total look was a refreshing change of pace from what we often see in our neighborhood, and then we also noticed her cornrows. Very Alice Dellal, except without any awkward regrowth periods.

She Said: She gets inspiration from street style, but overall the way she dresses is personal, “My style is my mood. When I’m happy, I’ll just throw on this shirt.”

We Say: Keep smiling!

—AMANDA JEAN BOYLE

Camille, 22, intern

Got Her: Walking down Prince on her way to lunch.

Stalked Her: The lace lured us in.

Shot Her: Her light pink dress with its black lace overlay had us yearning to revive our lace addiction. When we got closer we noticed her super cute Miu Miu flats and layered pearls. We love how she managed to look fresh and young while combining such classics.

She Said: “I like a little bit of everything, and I’ve been super into pearls lately.”

We Say: Antique chic. Nice.

—MELISSA ELLIOTT

Hiba, 31, law student

Got her: She was looking for lunch on Broadway, we were looking for her.

Stalked her: Because of that print.

Shot her: Because when we got closer, we noticed the gorgeous earrings, too.

She said: Her mother’s American and her father’s Saudi Arabian, so she likes a mix of east and west and a mix of vintage and modern. She calls her style “sort of hippie with 1930s flair.”

We said: Dressing like that while studying for the bar? We’re impressed.
