TGIF fellow New Havenites,
New Haven was full of fashionistas this week. I had a blast shooting. Below are photos I took from the Arts & Ideas Festival. Enjoy!

| Rachel. This babe works in software development. Sorry boys, but she is taken! She lives in NY and is visiting her boyfriend who is moving here. Why they are excited for New Haven: the potential of Yale’s campus and new discoveries! |

 |
| Destiny & Levee. One goes to school in MA, the other works at a shoe store & Mickey D’s. Why they love New Haven: there is a lot of stuff to do & there is always something going on. Yeah there is! |
 |
| McKinley. He is a CPA. McKinley is from Stratford and currently lives in Hamden. What he loves about New Haven: his lady and the kickball league! I asked him if his lady helped him dress, and I think I offended him. But his lovely girlfriend, Melissa, dresses really well! Check out her mobile vintage store here (Vintanthromodern Vintage)! I second McKinley’s love for New Haven. The kickball league here is an amazing community. I myself co-captain one of the teams (go Balls Deep!) So if you get a chance check it out (next season starts up in August). We get some crazy fashionistas during the season. Also congrats to the spring champs, Team Stubborn. Speaking of crazy fashionistas: |

| Teresa. Teresa is from Spain! She is here for the summer, and only has been here for a week. What she loves about New Haven: the food and the different types of restaurants. BUT the bars close way too early. In Spain bars are open until 8AM. I love her lace shorts! |
