Could you find anything more inspiring than someone sketching on the park with live music? Not only I was in Florence, enjoying the beautiful city, food, wine and culture but also I had to see this beautiful girl sketching in a bench next to a guy playing the guitar and singing in Italian… simply breathtaking. I tried to take a peak at what she was doing, without any success, but I was able to take some pictures from far away without interrupting her.

Part of the fun of what I do is to imagine how is life of the people I photograph. I am assuming she is going to Art school (the giant moleskine was screaming fashion knowledge). Something with the length of her hair, the bangs and the way she was sketching captured everyone’s eye. Then I went to the other side of the street to take more pictures when I saw her bohemian-bright-colorful- messenger bag and colorful bracelets… it was then when I raised my case, she was going to Art school.

Why her outfit worked? Skinny jeans, bomber jackets and flats are basically holding hands, but the pop colors of the messenger bag and the bracelets makes her special. Long time ago a friend asked to another one if she was depressed, she replied why and the other said: because you are not wearing any accessories! I agree with that statement, accessories are almost everything in an outfit. Ives Saint Laurent once said: Dressing is a way of life.

While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence which, I believe, does make the woman. Mary Kay Ash

Keep it simple. I am a true believer that accessories are everything.

People can prove me wrong…

Yesterday walking on Santa Barbara I saw this girl; she POPPED for her simple style.
