The Sartorialist Guide

I live in the West Village, so now and again, I'll pass fashion photographer The Sartorialist on the tree-lined streets. In my jeans and T-shirts, I've never been snapped, but luckily Refinery 29 just wrote a cheeky guide about how to get photographed by him. Oh my goodness, I laughed out loud.

Read it here...

Haha it's so on point! There have been days where I've been outside thinking my outfit was Sartorialist-worthy, but alas, I never spot him :)

Kate said...

hilarious! I think about it all the time, but don't own anything expensive or a hat, so I know I'm not worthy, haha.

Jill Turner said...

This is sooooooooo amazing!!!!! Every time I'm in NYC, Paris, Italy, wherever - I alwayyyys look for him but of course I never see him. :(

Omg, the "Are you old, rich and European?" line is too funny and too true!

You have got to stop linking to your Smitten posts Joanna - they are a huge time suck for me :) Happy Monday! xoxo

Shorty said...

Ahh yes, I have a link to this fellow in the worth visiting section of my side bar. I though the article was hilarious! I often think of these pics as I'm getting ready for work in the mornings, but all the layering won't work in the Texas heat. But, I do love all the scarves and boots!

Lexie said...

i love that you have such a sense of humor about blogging! :) it's refreshing.

Oh Jo thanks for posting this! So fantastic!

Slices of Beauty... said...

Ha ha, thanks Jo, really thoughtful!

Heidi Jo said...

HA!! I love it! When hubby and I took our trip to NY a couple months ago, as I was packing, I was thinking in the back of my mind "Is this something that could get me on The Sartorialist"... I was packing terribly uncomfortable, high fashion clothes. Then I stopped and realized I wanted to be comfortable and have fun, not try to be photographed, so I pulled all those clothes out of my suitcase and threw in jeans, sweatshirts, and tanks. I'm glad I made the switch and glad that I stopped being so silly. : )

jones said...

I just read this guide some where else, and I am laughing a second time. But alas, I keep following the guide to the dead end that says I haven't got a chance. Darn it!

Lovely blog.
