We introduced you all to our new blog contributors yesterday & we asked Alyson to start off by shooting photos of some of her friends around NYC and telling us a little bit about them. See the first note from Alyson below, and get this look with the Sock Hop top, Beach Bound shorts, and Sk8-hi D-Lo’s.

Lindsey is from LaGrange, New York and describes her style as “Carrie Bradshaw meets Woodstock ’69”.  The twenty-year-old looks to Women’s Wear Daily, Style.com and the Man Repeller for inspiration.  Lindsey’s go-to New York spots for fun include Chelsea Piers, Arthur Avenue, Saint Mark’s Place and Rockaway Beach.  Her favorite trends right now are “girly floral prints, high shorts and lots and lots of jewelry”.  -alyson
