Fashion Fridays: Australian Winter in NYC.

Names: Craig, Nancy & Nikki

Identifying sign: I swear, these Aussies give you a shiny happy beach feel despite freezing temperatures in NYC.

You're likely bump into their kind: Blue Bird Coffee Shop at 72 East 1st Street, Lower East Side, New York seeking a refuge from the cold and enjoying awesome coffee.

Fashion Friday Tip: People, I just checked my calendar and I can tell you what you've been afraid of -- the winter ain't going anywhere anytime soon... But a look at this friendly Australian bunch in New York reminded me of warm summer colors, of surfer fashion and brands like Quicksilver, Dakine and Roxy. Soft shades of green go well with washed pink and baby blue. Let's go for summer colors and smile to make us survive the winter easier!
