Comments on "On the Street.... Piazza Oberdan, Milan"
I love the dress and jacket, but what is with the shoes?
love love love the contrast of blue and orange!
LOVE. THIS. OUTIFT! Even the shoes add a fun twist.
love the orange dress and the chunky belt. the contrast with blue is a total trend. not so keen on the shoes tho. stilettos in black would have looked better
not to sound trite, but this is, well, fierce! love!
wow!!!! the sex and the city look, that orange is flaming hot!!
I'm loving her style!
love the orange & blue contrast, definitely eye catching. all on a beautiful woman as well. pity bout those footwear though.
i feel like someone dared her to wear every "fad" look that is hot this summer all at once.
sweet. the shoes are a nice take on those ankle boot sandals this season. just sweet shapes and colors all around.
lovely look, especially with the complementary colours and those margiela boots
Very Mary-Kate, and she seems to be able to pull off those Margiela open-toe boot things nicely.
Sorry- I just think it's unfortunate 80's. And the shoes...
Another great shot from you, but the clothes are too trendy to be of interest to me.
Toes hanging out of the front of the shoes: no no no.
I love the total look. The shoes are very 2008 and match perfect with the belt. great colors chosen also.
The Carrie Bradshaw belt
OMG i love the shoes but she doesn't wear them well!!!Seen them on Carine Roitfeld and it was so beutifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul!!!!!
love the black and white shoes on the left and also the prints on the old lady that matches the colors of the girl. :)
Her camera is amazine! I have it and love it (if it's the Leica D-LUX 3/Lumix LX2) . Also, her jewelry is very nice.
I think it's so passe for whoever/whatever designer to do chunky studded accessories, waaay after the punks did in the '80s, then again in the late '90s, then after Burberry last year. It's too late! How about discovering/pioneering a subculture from the beginning instead of ripping off water downed icons from not even that long ago!
Other than that, Gucci's kinda cool.
I like the colors and shapes, but -- someone please explain to me the appeal of this season's ankle-muffler sandal. I'm not necesarily opposed to it, I just don't get it. It's one of those fashions that seems to be deliberately ugly and unflattering.
Compare the ankle-muffler with the fashion-forward mini-trend of high-rise jeans, a few months back. High wasited jeans (so widely despised) actually (to my mind) flatter the waist & hips, if not the bottom, of the wearer and (to my way of thinking) are more flattering to most women's figures than the inevitably muffin-top-inducing low-rise jeans that ruin so many otherwise pretty figures.
I guess, what I'm getting at, is, Aren't our clothes supposed to be our body's FRIEND, not its enemy? Don't we want our garments to flatter our curves and our shoes to flatter our legs? Why would we wear pants that create a belly-bulge? Or shoes that stumpify our legs?
Fashion sometimes mystifies me. Sometimes, though, pictures don't tell the whole story. Sometimes garments work better on a body in motion. Sometimes just seeing the thing in person helps you to understand its appeal. Is the ankle-muffler supposed to flatter the leg with its contrasting chunkiness? Is it one of those fashions that's supposed to inspire envy ("She -- and only she --can get away with that ugly footwear, because her legs are so insanely beautiful that nothing can ruin them")? -Victoria
From the waist up, very fun, fresh, and summery. The contrast of orange and electric blue look terrific on this woman.
From the waist down, however, that shape reminds me too much of plastic pants over diapers. A full, short skirt would be more satisfying.
I'm neutral on the shoes. Unusual, but -- by itself, "unusual" is never a sufficient reason to add something to my wardrobe.
She's working every trend this summer but the orange and blue together lok fabulous on her!
I love the juxtaposition against the older woman in the background and how the colors play off one another even though their styles are so opposite
Too much visibility and contrast for the location, I think. I wouldn't have a problem with this outfit, say, at the beach or a resort, but in the middle of the city...
Talk about a Carrie bradshaw inspired look, but she still manage to make it feel autentic and like she just threw it on.
I really like this look. But I have to nit-pick about one thing: Anonymous 10:51 is right. Overhanging toes are soooo not good.
Along with lora, I have to say that I'm not feeling this one. Alls I see is a really thin girl wearing a shirt as a dress and complementary colors from a color wheel.
But her makeup and hair looks low maintenance and light enough to offset her bold outfit.
I have a variation on these shoes and everyone says they are awesome - even people that never usually notice these things - like my boss (...and I'm a lawyer)
Go Gators!...would never think of being so daring with these colors outside the boundaries of a UF sports event but love love love it!
Gorgeous girl. The colors and the shoes are fantastic.
W
Fantastic fun style! The contrast of her bright look with the more subdued background works perfectly.
i notice she was careful to match all her metals. i like the colors, belt, backpack... but the shoes?
Great shot! It looks like the older woman behind her is having a bit of a laugh. "Turisti!"
i couldn't pull off that outfit and maybe she's wearing every "fad" of this season, but she looks amazing. and that's including those unfortunate shoes. she's dressed perfectly for her figure and style.
is she taking a photo of herself? if so, that's a great sense of humor.
She's gorgeous! Love the orange and blue, but the shoes leave something to be desired.
That belt is amazing and those Martin Margiela shoes are still at the top of my want list. They look amazing on her!!!!
Yea, the studded belt is a little done, though cinching at the waist is never a bad thing.
I HATE those shoes. They're like open toe boots. Sleeveless sweaters. WHY?
Pretty girl. Contrasting colors.
yes god Carrie wore that in EVERY SINGLE SCENE OF THE MOVIE
Love the colors and the shoes are fantastic !!
Ricoh Caplio camera :P
I have to agree with jen, this looks like a mishmash of fad looks. I don't really like studs like the ones on the belt, they are just everywhere and beginning to look a little tacky.
Go Gators!
(sorry. as wife of a Floridian, that's all I can think of with this color combo.)

Wonder Girl.
Wonderful.
It's like an adult version of a little girls' superhero get-up.
And am I the only one who's seeing how gorgeous this girl is?
Wonderful photo, Sart. I love everything about this Asian hottie, except those shoes. Unfortunate choice.
Yeah they're Margiela boots. Hard to find, i've been searching them for ages!
I love the racial diversity in this blog! You wouldn't expect to see so many pictures of fashionable Asians walking around in the streets of Europe, but here you go.
But that in itself is the joy of of being young; being able to wear trends even if it is for a short time. You're supposed to have fun with your youth and the mash-up here screams "IT Girl" and not, "Rich Asian Tourist" as is the usual in Milan.
-AM
And also, did anyone notice the necklace and finger hardware? How fun right?
-AM
The little lady behind her is wearing a blouse with blue and orange flowers! Same colors in different contexts....Cool!
Gloria I agree with you .. soon as I saw the belt (but also a bit all over the look) I thought to Carrie fabulous!
PS:sorry for my imperfect English but I am Italian
I love the orange/electric blue color combination but I will never understand those shoes.
umm....how about those legs!!
the colors look nice on her, but the trendiness is a bore.
Love this. She pulls off the look effortlessly.
contrary to most comments here, I love the shoes but I don't care for the rest particularly...She rocks it though.
The colors are lovely, but when it comes to the shoes, I'm rather in love with the black and white pumps of the lady next to the subject.
ohhh, i love that color combo.
Those fabulous Margiela shoes make this outfit what it is. How disappointing to hear the suggestion of a stiletto! How much more obvious and boring can it get than a stiletto and a minidress? The shoes make it wearable, casual, and exceptional.
that is a hard look to pull off- i think she manages to- what's funny is what almost helps her pull it off is the fact she's acting a bit of a tourist and taking a picture- it almost takes the edge off the 'look how hot my outfit is' vibe. it brings her back down to earth a bit!
Gorgeous woman with fun colors- I am sick of the gladiator type shoes already-it's everywhere so it more than lacks orginiality
she looks amazing.
Love the color contrast. I doubt I'll ever understand the popularity of the bubble bottom dress. The shoes… not a fan.
really you guys? I LOVE the shoes. She looks like she probably had so much fun getting dressed that morning! I like the whole thing.
Just wondering...if something gets to be a fad, or appears on Carrie Bradshaw or in a movie like that- at what point does it become passe- as someone put it, or does it matter more how you wear something?
I think this is very studied, but more parts design than loveliness. She has done an excellent job elongating and drawing attention to her stunning legs, but the overall effect is ungainly, adolescent, perhaps cartoonish. I don't dig the Asian trend of taking the edge off the street hooker look by modifying with the pre-pubescent look.
she is a beauty!
love the outfit...is she a tourist? (my guess from the backpack) i would love to wear heels when traveling but there is just too much walking.
the outfit is trendy but as a young person myself, i think it is ok to be trendy. when else is it more appropriate to experiment? and the shoes are cool. They are not beautiful or perfect for the outfit but they are different. and i think it makes her more interesting.
and notice the hair elastic on her wrist. a nice touch of realism :)
What a beautiful girl- she'd look good in anything. I love the gorgeous colours! And the backpack.
Someday after she's discarded all these of-the-moment trends she will have an amazingly rich wardrobe of beautiful items that she can layer and blend. That will be style.
i like the belt
First thing that popped into my mind: Carrie's belt from Sex & The City by Pat Field. Love the matching shoes too. Half of the reason why this outfit is so great is because of her great legs. A beautiful shot.
I have those Margiela boots in a box, unworn, under my bed. Not great for walking all over NYC, but seeing this great photo makes me want to bust them out for tomorow's oufit. Just beautiful. Although I can't wear a dress that short!
the color contrast is amazing, however an obvious choice. the 'carrie' belt had a much more demure quality than this hot topic knock-off look. the shoes are amazing but the whole thing looks juvenile with the pink polish on her toes not to mention the orange of her hair matching (obtrusively) the orange of her dress. this whole ensemble is a mash of darts thrown at a target with many different hits and misses.
however it is a good 'inspiration', which has been touched on here before. we all look at it and instantly there are many things which to dissect and discuss. a good jumping off point for conversation on fashion!

IN LOVE WITH THE WHOLE OUTFIT!!!! ESPECIALLY THE MARGIELA SHOES ARE SOOOOOOO HOTTTTTTTT!
Lovely outfit EXCEPT the really horrible sandals that really don't fit
This lady is gorgeous and the colors are eye-catching. But I have to agree with the others who feel that this look is too many trends worn at once. It definitely seems that she's trying to evoke Carrie Bradshaw. Not that there is anything wrong with that, per se...:)
Gossip Girl, is that you??
Wow, what a cutie pie this one is. Gorgeous face and legs. Luscious lips.
Fortunately, the outfit, so faddy and loud, can't tarnish her beauty.
Carrie Bradshaw is a fictional character and was dressed as such. Most of the stuff she wore actually looked like what it was - a costume. This is very costumey to me as well.
The shoes appear to be ill fitting but otherwise I don't dislike them.
I do like the orange color against her brown skin.
And I do like the photo as a whole because Carrie-wannabe looking up, juxtaposed to the older woman in an equally assaulting jacket and looking down, seems to tell a story.
She literally stands out from the crowd! She's like glowing or something! Love her!
those shoes are horrible :( dare I say worse than flip flops?
Hate the belt and the necklace.
love the orange, the blue, and her nail polish
I would like it better if her hair wasn't dyed.
Besides that, the contrast of the saturated orange with electric blue is stunning.
i love the shoes on her.
her legs are definitely long enough to pull them off. the overhanging toes are a no no though...
i love everything about this!
such bold color choices. she sure stands out in a sea of dullness.
The combination of color is wonderful, but the shoes are... um... yeah.
Love everyhting about the outfit... except the belt tho. It's too much and too big. nevertheless, its one cool outfit!
a well dressed tourist in Milano, che meraviglia!
i like the color coordination of the toes, lips and dress but she should change the shoes
I love that pic! That outfit in itself, I don't like, but on her and because of her build, it totally works. She has beautiful legs. Sart, what a cool pic!
the only thing i'm not loving is the backpack, great belt and dress. love the color scheme. i'm big on black and orange for dates other than october 31 lately.
Eclectic and well pieced together. She's definitely rockin it.
joanna, i couldn't agree more.
as a young fan of this blog, i am rather sick of the constant flow of comments sighing at all us boring people who occassionally wear a garment that might be considered a 'trend' - because, everyone knows, a trendy piece automatically elimintes personal style or fashion cred, right?
it's about personal style, how you wear it and your attitude. that's the message of this blog.
it's not about getting up on our fashion high horses and declaring that anyone in a seasonal garment has zero personal style and zero idea.
the shoes
the belt
it works!
I love everything about this outfit, it makes me smile. Simply gorgeous, every single thing.
Like the colors but not the outfit. Although, she is young and should enjoy it.... what is striking is the sliced picture of the woman to the left and the woman just behind this young girl. Classic!
Is she a tourist? If so, how wonderful to see a tourist who isn't dressed as though they're going hiking or something. I mean, if you live in a city, you don't feel the need to wear jeans and trainers and carry a huge backpack every day, do you? But apparently once you're on a city break that has to be your uniform.
Also, rant over, I adore the colour combo but I really don't like those shoes.
individually the pieces aren't great but she has pulled them together well. love the watch and ring, ambivalent about the trendy belt and shoes, hate the bubble hem
she looks like not being part of the crowd. outstanding
i like how she seems to have a packback on..u dont see women with that kind of bag often..looks cool, made me wanna get 1 as well
to style noir: I totally agree with you on this one. she is just so gorgeous. I absolutely LOVE this look. So what if it's costumey and trendy? Since when is looking fashionable a crime?
Obviously she has loads of cash, and this is probably what I'd wear if I had that much moeny and were in a playful mood (ok, probably not to go sight-seeing, but I'd still wear it).
to constants: actually asian women are usually the most fashionable here in europe... i live in Berlin and the asian women always stand out from the crowd. I love their attitude and their playful approach towards fashion. Plus, they're usually drop dead gorgeous and uber-cool. I truly envy them.
Wonder woman came to mind !
I read alot of comments that mentions that her outfit is so "Carrie Bradshaw" or she knocked off Carrie Bradshaw or she is wearing every trend of the season. I think most have forgotten that designers get their inspiration (yes even Patricia Field) from the streets and everyday people like this young lady. The so-called Carrie belt from the movie has been around for ages... just because someone is wearing it doesn't mean that they're just trying to copy Carrie's look...for all we know, it may be the other way around.
Anyway, just my two-cents... I happen to think she looks fierce!
OH MY GOD!!!
so Carrie...
i love it!!!
It looks like an orange version of Sarah Jessica Parker's outfit in the SATC movie when she's in the DVF store.
i am just speechles! great combination of colors and styles...love absolytely everything about this look: from nailpolish to the belt!
I really can't stop myself from going back to this picture! What I missed earlier and find most intriguing is just how young she is. She could possibly still be in her late teens or early 20's and it's amazing how you can feel the confidence oozing off of the page. Mad props!
-AM
It would be hard to make her look anything but beautiful, but I'm not sure this is style. You're just a leg man, admit it.
First of all, Carrie Bradshaw's taste is way too conservative to be wearing Martin Margiela shoes since she's into Blahnik. Apples and oranges! This girl is not only pretty but also she's got style to be wearing a bubble dress and FAB shoes! Carrie Bradshaw she is NOT! Major EWWW on CB anyways!
I love women that are unafraid. I adore the shoes and those toes! Perfect.
Ah, the beautiful colors of the Mets!!!
personally don't love every item she wears but the combination she put together is beautiful! so much youthful awesome energy!
and yes thank you for defending asian women- there are plenty that are stylish and gorgeous
This is phenomenal. Would love to raid her closet!! ♥
I love, love, love the shoes. I have to have them!!
I love everything EXCEPT for the shoes, I truly hate them. Plus I don't think they go with the outfit. Yuck.
sooo sex... and the city... luv it!
ORANGE...BLUE! haha
She pulls off the bright colors well.
awful shoes.. everything else totally perfect!
this isn't my kind of look, but you always manage to catch something else besides the subject's attire. this time its the backround woman's orange & blue floral top next to the blue jacket and orange dress. very nice coupling.
She is lovely and in a fairly abstract, context-free picture, her outfit is very striking.
However, if I saw this in real life, I would think- oh how hideous! Especially the shoes.
I LOVED this outfit.
Only someone really secure has the courage to mix those pieces and see what happens.
The result is simply BRILLIANT.
even though it does look like a mishmash of trends, she makes it her own somehow. i dunno how, but she does.
I, too, love the Margiela shoes...I especially loved them in the nude color. She's young and fresh in the orange and blue. And to all the UF Gator fans who commented, I simply say War Eagle! They'll all understand.
Very SATC! Love contrast of orange and blue. The belt is sick! Shoes are awesome! Not crazy about the backpack but it works for her.
She's gorgeous and takes risks.
I love the orange. It seems to me that she's changed the dynamics of the outfit to something more modern by adding the contrasting chunky belt and those shoes. Not sure what it means, except she's not afraid to mix it up, down to her backpack.
Damned it, I should get those Margiela shoes when it hit Barney's the first time. I was hoping they gonna be on sale the beige one!!! BUMMER!!! They sold out everywhere. I'm dying to get half shoes half boots look this season, so HOT!!! I've seen a lot of this kind of shoes/sandals in Brasil as well. I don't really care about her outfits, but I think the contrast colors are really catching in the photo. Great summer look. I think she looks hot.
Is that camera really great compared to Canon?
Those Belts are a huge "Sex and the City" "the movie" trend!
thanx Patricia!
Love the colors and the shapes. Its all gorgeous.
what a wonderful outfit!
hate the shoes and the belt, not really sold on the rest either, but she has fantastic legs and is beautiful, so it kind of works. not on everyone!
also, i think its really cute that she's wearing a backpack. without the jacket though, she would look like she was headed to a club.
I went to China eralier this year and EVERYBODY (girls, that is) wears those kind of shoes!
Flats, heels or platforms.
I love them, the soft slouchy leather around the ankles.
Unfortunately, my Scandinavian Viking-feet were too big in China (you should see how the girls in the shops giggled, pointed and talked about my size 40) so I ended up buying different styles and colours for my daughter instead!
y'all should stop hatin' on the shoes!
they go perfectly with the outfit!
i can't imagine flats....
I love the pasticheful mix of brights! Tangerine and blue are total opposites but look so well worn together! The black accesories harmonize well.
Amazing clashing of colours, i think it definitely works. The shoes are hot too!
great use of complementary colors but im not about the shoes
i'm so in love with those shoes!!!!!!
simply eye catching!
simply eye catching!
Love it. I hated this style of shoe until I saw this outfit. The best part, however, is her knuckleduster!
nice. really nice. the colors are simply match!
love that blue n orange!
She is perfect! very colourful and playful. the orange dress match her hair colour very much. and the shoes echoes her belt!
completely unexpected; beautiful from head to toe as if the Great Patricia Field styled her.
