Out About Town: Snapple Big Apple BBQ & NYLON Guys/Keds Event

Hi inawordfab family! Nastasia, the Inaword Intern, here! Whew! These past couple of weeks have been busy busy! I've been going to a bunch of events to bring you some inspirational street fashion. First, I attended the Snapple Big Apple BBQ at Madison Square Park on 23rd.

Just picture it: crowds of people in the summer sun all looking for some good food! Even in a hot, crowded park, there were men and women who were effortlessly fashionable and worth taking snaps of.

Although I was kinda disappointed by the laidback looks around me, this woman (left) made me smile! She was just so cute! With her hair pulled back and under a straw fedora, she was right on trend and perfectly casual for the event. The blue button-up brought out her eyes and although she was dressed quite simply, all the way down to her small diamond posts, she stood out!

Button-ups and jeans were popular that day! And if this woman isn't a model, she needs to be! She had the most amazing statuesque figure and a perfect complexion. But besides that, her crisp shirt and jeans with neutral accessories were on point. Her arm candy was pretty sweet too, and I'm not talking about her purse! He also sported a straw hat and I especially liked his watch, a classic accessory which is both practical and fashionable.

Long-strapped purses were certainly a trend to be remembered! Her rust-colored leather purse was super cute and functional. The oversize earrings were a perfect touch to spice her who look up a bit. I like!

The downtown couple of the event! They would definitely get the Hipster award, as they pulled it off like no other. The entire look on this woman was eye catching: the chains, the modern fanny pack, the oversize button-up with rolled sleeves and yet another straw hat! I mean, where did this girl go wrong? Her guy coordinated effortlessly all the way down to his Converse sneaks which are classic, cool kid kicks! Separately, these two are good, but like Ne-Yo and Fab proclaimed, "Baby, you make me better!"

Hello lovie! Not only is she rocking a long-strapped purse but her ruffled shirt is darling and it works with the high waisted shorts! I loved the pockets and although I am usually a short shorts girl, I went coo coo for the lengthy look. They even tied into into a bow in the back! AHH! In love.

Lastly, this is what I call an Asian Persuasion! The graphic prints on the men's shirts and hats were fun, but it is the v-neck that I think is absolutely sexy and perfect on a guy! (I love when mine wears his!) Now onto the fab girls. Leggings, check! A barbeque staple and in great colors and prints. And what else would you wear over leggings but a baggy sweatshirt or a comfy jersey top? Both girls had a bag that I totally wanted to snatch and grab! The mini duffle with nautical stripes was amazing but my favorite was the layered cream leather oversized clutch. Adorable!

A few days late, I attended the NYLON/Keds/Bloomingdales event hosted by Ed Westwick. I got there just in time to see a great dance off!

Hey Danger Cat! This dancer has a great body and a great look! Her eye make-up was outrageous and her body suit was on point as well. I asked her to take a picture, and BAM! She struck the most awesome pose I've ever gotten from someone in the streets. No wonder she won the $500 prize in the dance contest!

Danger Cat wasn't the only lovely lady in attendance. These Midwestern women were new to New York and the party scene! I loved the purple American Apparel-style dress that was accessorized with the coolest headband. And the leather jacket worked well with the studded clutch to give an edgy feel without being too hardcore. Fabulous!

This lovely young woman made me think "Upper East Side princess" as soon as I spotted her! I loved her floral print high-waisted mini paired with a loose white vesat. She paired them with a great bead necklace but it was the gladiator sandals that were simply delicious!

This slightly off-the-shoulder LBD was perfect for a dance event! The leather slides were a sweet detail but I found that her shoulder grazing earrings were definitely what drew my eyes to her look. That, and her super silver short cut! Hot.

Although I missed the sexy Mr. Ed Westwick, I did get a flick of Whitney Thompson, winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 10! I wasn't a fan back then, but she won me over. She's beautiful in person and her hair was great! But most of all, her black trench was totally classic and perfect for the nasty weather!

Thanks to all who are pictured, and stay tuned for more events!
