Federico: I LOVE YOUR EYEGLASSES! Your accessories are impeccable!

I went to a vintage show and saw hundreds of eyeglasses (from the 18th Century to 1980′s). Eyeglasses certainly add character. When we were kids wearing glasses wasn’t cool, but things have changed. For those of you who are looking for new frames you MUST check out Allyn Scura. As they sell unique, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, the website doesn’t show a broad assortment as the one you can experience on one of their stands. If you are lucky enough to have a show in your town you should not miss it.

When you sit down in a cool spot and start taking pictures, you realize that at least 40% of the people have the same accessory: A CUP OF COFFEE. It’s true that today the city was slightly chillier, but still. The trend leans to have a coffee while you sit and think or while you rush down the street.

On the first picture I was amazed by her absence… she was just there drinking and thinking (would have paid to be in her head for 5 seconds). The classic trench with the tights and booties made the rest of the picture.

The second guy was rushing down the street. He was cool… oversize headphones? hoody sweatshirt, leather bike jkt and classic Vans are the hippest trend, and he pulled it off in a good way. (To be trendy sometimes sucks).

I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit closer. For reasons unknown.

Trying to do my signature paparazzi style, evidently they caught me. Saw these 2 friends, lying on a wall, having coffee and a cigarette while talking.

What made them so special? His biker leather jacket with the blue shirt half way tucked in, RayBan and shoes + his attitude. Sometimes it is hard for me to explain. Here in San Francisco the overall vibe is different. People are more casual, their style is more laid back.

They must hang out together…. they just have to! 

How fun is her sailor dress with her knee high red socks and her Mary Jane’s? If that was not enough for you please take a closer look to her motorcycle leather jacket! Clap, clap, clap!

Notwithstanding, she is walking next to him… He is monochromatic, cool shirt and vest, nice skinny jeans but the best part is that the aviator sunglasses are RED!

Must confess that I am not the biggest fan of red but when is done right you must point it out.
