Nicole on the Q Train

I met Nicole on the Q train heading home one day. I liked her navy-olive-watermelon color combination. Just summery enough for the last bits of sunshine and warm weather, but just autumn-y enough for the beginnings of fall. She also happened to have one of the friendliest dispositions of anyone that I've met so far.

Happy October, by the way. 

Cat at Prospect Park

In the spirit of casual Friday, I give you casual chic a la Cat, who I met on the Q train. You may recognize her sandals from my Instagram...maybe. I liked her baby pink with gray/oatmeal color scheme and the metallic detail on her sandals (it makes them fancy). 

Thinle Ronge at Times Square Station

I saw Thinle when I was creeping around the Times Square station. She looked so cool in her Levi's shirt, shorts, and boots. I should also mention that she was carrying a really cool backpack that I didn't have the forethought/genius to photograph. That and her hair is everything that mine could have been had that lady at Great Clips not cut off 8 MORE INCHES than she said she would.

Tatiana on the Q Train

Lookit me! Postin' on my lunch break. Anyway...

I met Tatiana on the Q train heading home on Saturday. I noticed her jacket as soon as I stepped into the car and made a bee line for her. It reminds me of the Alexander Wang spring 2013 collection. Very ahead of the times, this one. I also want to point out that Tatiana is wearing the perfect example of the New Yorker's head-to-toe black uniform. I have seen all black worn in so many ways that crosses so many styles. Back home, all black equals goth or emo. Here, women have figured out how to wear it an look relevant and cool.

Chic Layering on the F Train

This lovely lady layered tights under her maxi skirt. The train was too crowded for me to see the rest of her...or to even get a full body picture, had I asked. So, sneaky creeper picture. I must try this when it gets cooler though.

Saturday Q Train Adventure

On Saturday, I went adventuring on the Q train. I like the Q. Most of the stations in Brooklyn are sort of outdoors with plants growing down the sides of the walls. It's kind of nice to see the green. There are also a lot of interesting people on the Q, since it goes to places like Times Square.

This is the Q station at Cortelyou Road. You can't tell in this picture, but the girl in the striped sweater had on a pair of shoes that I was ready to steal right off of her feet.

Anyway, first I stopped at Bryant Park (I went to Times Square last weekend) and meandered around wondering if I would see anyone famous...I didn't. But I did like the park. They have a carousel that made me wish for childhood.

From there I wandered over to Central Park and explored until my feet screamed for mercy. I stopped off at a bench to rest and made friends with a rat that was very curious about my sweet and salty snack bar. I kept trying to get his picture, but he was very wary of me and ran into the underbrush every time I tried to aim my camera (phone). It didn't help either that some ladies scared him off for a good ten minutes.

See him? There in the center. Yeah, me neither. I should also point out my extremely poor judgement in wearing heels for such a grand expedition. 

I ended up walking from the southern corner of the park, by the Central Park Zoo, all the way over to the Museum of Natural History. Now there's a stellar subway station.

This station had some really neat tile work.

There's a bongo player at the edge of the Earth. Ah ha ha.

There were some seriously retro digs on the C train. I like the wood paneling. It reminds me of my mom's living room...minus the shag carpeting. 

I saw another rat at the West 4th Street Station. It was too quick for me to get a picture, but I did get a picture of one of the sticker-variety.

Good times, my Q train adventure.
