The three places in the world that consistently fall into the category of uncategorizable are New York, L.A. and Las Vegas. Well, everyone knows that Las Vegas is where you go if you want to walk around dressed as a flamingo without commanding so much as a second glance, however, New York and L.A. are the two fashion epicenters of America.
Two such dissimilar style sensibilites could not be found in any other state. Los Angeles: easy, breezy, youthful and funloving (unless you are a real housewife), and New York: Tough, serious, rough and sophisticatedly sexy. So the question remains, are you New York or L.A., and what can you do to emulate either style? Well first you have to know the style icons of each city.Then you have to know the designers. What are "the places to see and be seen?" The places to wile the night away? Allow me to fill you in
