Apartment613

Melanie Yugo, crafter extraordinaire and co-founder of Spins & Needles, and Lauryn Kronick, a vintage-obsessed fashion junkie, compile the 613 Style File the third Friday of the month. Inspired by other style blogs, they’re hitting the streets to profile interesting fashion eye-candy in different places and at events. So keep your eyes out and funk up your style – you never know when they may capture your look!
