Biker Chic

With new bike lanes emerging all over the city, I wanted to explore my favorite mode of transportation. It seams all to common to bump into Leo DiCaprio biking on the bike path of the West Side Highway... or Jake and Lance somewhere in LA. Here are some of my favorite bike images.......

It hit me in the face

I was wandering the Chelsea Art Gallery District with my friend Khadijah searching for inspiration for my first post and, there it was... It was everywhere ! Shades of Orange and Pink... the combination of these colors remind me of Isaac Mizrahi or Christian Lacroix but, there was something subtle and fresh about them on this fake spring day... I snapped a few photos and went home to research.... I love the combination of these two colors grounded in shades of tan and heather grey.
