Sunday Best VII Little Black Dress

Michelle showing off the essentials on how to be a lady. 
The little black dress has been a staple for all women from the dawn of time.
While there may be fear of overhype or overplay, the little black dress is possibly the staunchest example of a classic. 

The dress is accompanied by the pop of a turquoise belt, royal blue bag and silver rings.


Remember, at the start of any week
- kill 'em with a classic.

Sunday Best VI Tribal (Very Late Edition)

Anna is probably the boldest dresser on staff. Yet in the all the bold prints she rocks, you never forget the details. Rolled shirt, rolled sleeves, gold watch.

Her thrifter's intuition has made a living in her closet.

You can often tell exactly how extraordinary a thrifting extraordinaire is from the accessories they acquire--accessories that always accentuate a personality, from the simple hazy image of a fall line off the runway. Accessories are often the only distinction between humans and mannequins. From her gold watch to her iconic Club Master, Anna is Queens thrifting, resurgent.

Cindy Lin, our Chinese goddess, playing with a pink gradient on an unpleasantly humid Sunday.  Hard to believe it's already August, Queens Subject is savoring the last summer of collegiate life as we head off into senior year..but it's too early to settle on that thought right now. Just a heads up for those of you who live in NYC, Restaurant Week ends this Friday (though it's most likely going to be extended)!  Dress well, eat well.

Thanks to Josh, we had the chance to check out a ramen fest. in Astoria (refer to posts below) and even captured a few of our own HONY-esque moments.  A little rain never hurts, especially when your outfit compliments grey skies (navy was probably the color of the day).  Polka dots look good on you too, gentlemen.

Broadway Avenue, Astoria


This summer has been absolutely packed with floral prints for both the ladies and gents.
And while Michelle does not discriminate against florals of different colors or creeds,
her choice for the dark floral on a cloudy day was on point and generally well-received by
me and Louie.

Astoria_Street Fair_NYC Street Ramen Contest

A last minute street fair excursion stopped us in Astoria.
(one of the most ethnically diverse places on Earth)

While the festival most eccentrically plugged the 2nd stop of the NYC Street Ramen Contest, the street fair atmosphere produced many of the fried staples of classic city street and county fairs: corn tortillas, fried oreos & octopus balls.

For one afternoon, our distinguished, always fashionable friends from the East had Queens under police barricade and lockdown.

From action figures and food trucks selling squid to dragon decals, Broadway and 41st was flooded with Japanese food and drink with the occasional, but classic, gyro stand placed sparsely throughout the fair.

People and food of different cultures mingling and matching--trying to see where taste might intersect.


You can catch the final two stages of the competition here.
