NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Fashion essentials inspired by Kim Kardashian

POSTED: Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 2:00 PM

Neighborhood Watch looks for Philly’s most fashionable. This week, Kelsey and Diana gather a list of "chic essentials" along Market Street.

Stefana blocks the sun in style, with a pair of electric blue Knockaround shades

As we strolled down Market St. trying to escape the sun, we ran into Stefana (20), who seemed less than threatened by the heat. She was sporting a classy little black dress from Charlotte Russe, a fantastic floral Lilly Pulitzer scarf, and her trademark Knockaround blue shades.

Originally from Romania, this fashionista explained, “I wear mostly jeans back home, but a lot of dresses here.” Her style is mostly preppy but she also channels Kim Kardashian’s chic essentials, “everyone should have really good black leggings, one nice black blazer and nude pumps.” Stefana is living proof that accessories make an outfit. “I love scarves, but I really love my gold Lilly bracelet,” she gleamed.

This summer she is on the prowl for the perfect BCBG shoes from her favorite shopping site, ideeli.com.

Soon-to-be Fordham freshman Ryan loves rocking bright colors

A few blocks later, we interrupted Ryan (18) from his family outing to ask him about his colorful getup. He was sporting lime green Vineyard Vines shorts, a pink and blue American Eagle tee and black Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

Ryan rocks “mostly t-shirts and shorts,” he explained. “I also like collared shirts.” This soon-to-be Fordham freshman will fit right in among New York City’s flamboyant fashion scene, “when I wear sneakers, it’s my bright yellow Nikes.”
