Juicy Couture Black Leather Vest and Vintage Belt: Easy Rider Meets Cyborg

Yesterday, around midday Jordan and I decided that we would wander over to the High Line later in the afternoon so we could see the second part.

Before we left I changed into a tight black dress from American Apparel (a little too blatant as just a dress, I prefer it as a foundation piece if anything, but it can work from time to time if I pretend I am wearing a dress from Wolford), and I threw on a beaded vintage belt (that my Mum's lovely friend was kind of enough to send me) that I have been wanting to wear since I got it. After slipping on a pair of black Suede ankle boots from Stevens I realized that I was still channeling Easy Rider (if you can remember back to my Easy Rider post) and I decided that my feminine-yet-structured black leather vest from Juicy Couture could only add to the look so I unzipped it off the hanger and let it rest on my shoulders.

When we got to the High Line (which looks a little like a scene from a science fiction novel) I began to feel more like a cyborg than any character from Easy Rider. Instantly I had slipped into my new persona and when we reached the end of the High Line I was ready to shoot my outfit. We found this building that had gold paneling and decided it would make the perfect backdrop.

I thought I would mention that Jordan does not follow me around with a camera, in fact usually I am following him around while he takes pictures of things that are not related to me. Ever since I have met Jordan he has been taking photographs with his 1,000 cameras, it was not until last summer and the start of the magazine (and then the blog) that he actually even started really taking pictures of me. You can see his lovely photography on his somewhat new photo diary: Mindless Carbonation.
