Briana Alston’s Moda International dress and very strappy stilettos are certainly on point.

“I got these shoes four years ago, but I’ve never worn them until now,” she says. “I didn’t think I could walk in them, but it’s going okay so far.”

[Little story: You’ll notice that there is a man standing on the right side of this shot. Now he looks like he might be listening to the band, and in all fairness, we were on the Peabody Rooftop, so he was. But he was also behind us when we walked up … As soon as we started taking pictures of Briana, this guy jumped in the shot and then tried to act nonchalant about it. So there he is. And that makes me giggle.]

I just thought Frankie Manuel’s whole vibe was so cute. We were walking south on Second when we spotted her in a big group of people, one of whom I vaguely remember wearing wearing a monocle. (We probably should have taken a picture of that guy.)

The single braid with the boots makes me think of the country, and the dress is just so summery. Together, I l thought she just looked really fresh.

I asked her what her favorite part of her outfit was and she originally said it was her two necklaces. As someone who is a sucker for double necklaces — triple necklaces, too — I was charmed (pun intended, of course). Then she backtracked and went with the boots, which she had just had resoled.
