Welcome to 2013!
Happy New Year everyone, I’m very excited for yet another great year of Style Street. The first of the year has increasingly become busy for me since I do a bit of fashion related travel. February I’ll be in New York for fashion week, and March I’ll be down in Charleston South Carolina for Charleston Fashion Week. Hopefully while on the road I’ll find a few Southwest Virginian’s on the town to feature on ‘Style Street on the road.’
One thing I do plan on doing this year is give you two posts a week, I’ve been constantly finding about six shots a month but I feel like you deserve more. I plan to spend much of the first week of each month out and about, looking for street style so have more style inspiration to enjoy all month long.
What is something you would like to see on Style Street in 2013?

Happy New Year! I’d like to see some well-dressed older fellas – although maybe they are difficult to find? thanks!
I’d like to see you scout more locations, there’s too many college students and downtown office workers. Maybe scout different times and events and show us what downtown evening style looks like, or concert style or tailgating style. I’d like to see how locals express their style other than during the daytime.
Love the blog, love that you take time to pull out what jumped out at you and where it all came from. Keep up the good work!
@PS, I think I can get a few older fellas for you. They are a bit more rare but I know a few I need to stop for sure.
@Ang P, I will agree that I want to have more locations represented on the blog. Christiansburg made a few appearances last year, so did Salem in the form of Roanoke College. Grandin Village and SW Roanoke are high on my list as well as Floyd. I’m a bit reserved about doing evening style at times only because people natural put more effort when heading out for dinner or for drinks on a Friday night. People more often will represent their true style during the day versus pulling out their dress clothes only for special occasions like weekends and dinners. I’ve shot photos at night on my personal site in the past so its something I’m considering doing every so often here on Style Street as well.
As far as events go, I will be blunt and say you won’t catch me out shooting at concerts or tailgates anytime soon. They just aren’t the kind of environments I want to be trying to take photos at. Now events like party in the park, free outdoor concerts, or other large or small public community events I think are very appropriate and I will look for street style there.
