Despite having Bird, Goldy + Mac, and plenty of vintage shops in the neighborhood, Park Slope has lost the war on style. According to Cole Haan (maker of insanely comfortable heels), NYC’s Most Stylish 'Hood is Prospect Heights.

Refinery29 says the Heights has all the money, architecture, young, stylish professionals, outdoor entertainment, connected citizens, and shops, shops, shops required to hit the top of the list. But I call bullshit. Park Slope is home to A.Cheng, The Clay Pot, and, up until recently, J.Crew's Jenna Lyons, for fuck's sake (Ed Note: I've also seen Steve Booshems walking around this nabe with some pretty stylish eyeglasses.)

Fashion Trends: Teeth Tattoos

We spend so much money whitening our chiclets, yet this Japanese trend of temporary teeth tattoos is catching on. Fellas: think twice about reaching across the brunch table to scrape that spinach from your girlfriend's tooth. Because it might just be a ladbug.

PARK SLOPE FASHION: The Shoe of the Summer

We're now well into August, which means we'll soon be bidding a fond farewell to Summer, but before we do, I need to bring your attention to a footwear trend I've been noticing all the hell over the streets of Park Slope. SILVER BIRKENSTOCKS.

On an average weekend, I see these shoes, in this color, on like 4 out of 10 women that walk by me. I honestly can't remember a Park Slope fashon trend that's ever been more in my face than this one. These shoes are E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E.

The funny thing is, this shoe really does represent a perfect expression of everything going on in Park Slope. Stick with me for a minute here.
