 STREET STYLE 
 Bridget (@bri_cali88) was taking her visiting  
 friend on a tour of some local spots when I  
 noticed her outfit. She said, “My style is trendy  
 and classic. I like to stay on trend and keep an  
 open mind. If something doesn’t work I stick to  
 what I like.” Her puffer jacket and beanie were  
 definitely on trend and functional to brave the  
 weather. Her soft blue bucket bag added a nice  
 stylish touch to her look as well. 
 CLASSY and HIP	 
 BY MARIE TORIO 
  @PHOTOSBYMARIETORIO The weather is crisp, but  
 the fashion picks are hot  
 this month.  The looks I  
 spotted on the streets of  
 Astoria  were  classy  with  
 a common thread: they  
 all seemed to have a hip twist.  
 In a sea of dark coats and boots,  
 accessories like a bucket crossbody  
 bag, a beautiful blue purse,  
 a cute red beanie, sleek three-dimensional  
 studs and chunky bangles  
 caught my eye! As I walked  
 around I noticed that people were  
 getting creative with their warm  
 ensembles, including a trendy  
 oversized coat, a fur-trimmed  
 hooded jacket, a funky colored  
 wrap-around scarf, and notes of  
 Stephanie, a food service manager, was  
 hanging out with friends on her day off.  
 She describes her style as being “trendy but  
 minimalistic.” I loved her zipped-up booties,  
 frayed jeans and plush velvety scarf. Don’t  
 get me started on her cute geometric studs.  
 Her style is simple but fashion-forward at the  
 same time.  
 with his coldweather  
 outfit.  
 He says his  
 style is “street  
 chic.” I could not  
 agree more. His  
 colorful, wraparound  
 scarf,  
 crossbody bag,  
 rolled-up jeans,  
 chunky bangles  
 and colorful  
 striped socks …  
 need I say more?!
