Today is the last day of 2009, so I thought this week’s wrap up of street fashion should focus on the eclectic and very original taste-makers that photographers snap. While many are contemplating their resolutions for the new year, I thought in the style of Diane Vreeland we should make some rather ridiculous resolutions on how to live wildly glamorous and original.
For those who don’t know: Diane Vreeland was a noted fashion figure, socialite, and columnist who wrote an infamous column for Harper’s Bazaar. In the column she always suggested wildly outlandish ideas, like turning a fur coat into a bathrode, or washing your child’s hair in champagne. Some were more feasible like “why don’t you tie black tulle bows on your wrists?” All promised to make every day a bit of an adventure.
So, instead of resolutions to lose weight/save money/etc; why don’t you commit to living wildly?

*I hope you enjoyed the suggestions and remember the points is to be outrageous, controversial, or basically to raise eyebrows.
