Photo: Javana. Brooklyn. Jan 2011

My friend, 'Vana is not only utterly gorgeous [inside and out] but, she is one of the most stylish people I've come to know. She takes chances whilst knowing what works on her. Each outfit or beautiful hairstyle tells a story. I took this photo of her on the night of my goodbye dinner in the City. Her soft pink lip contrasts the deep brown of her scarf so well. She went against the wintry grain by wearing a brimmed hat in winter. It's usual that people wear knitted beanie and the like so I totally loved the way she wore it and made it her own. I only wish I got a full shot of her vintage sweater [once her Grandmothers].
