Rainy Day, Sunny Smile. This Is Isabele

It was one of those rainy, gloomy mornings in New York and I’d gotten up early to take my daughter to school. The sky was grey and people had grey expressions, hiding under umbrellas, rushing to get out of the rain. I didn’t think I would spot anyone interesting for photos. Then suddenly, I notice a long line silhouette with an angelic face juggling with her umbrella and iPhone, all while attempting to hail a cab.

It’s got to be her I thought. She’s got the exact freshness I’m looking. She’ll bring a light and modern feel to the vintage jacket that embodies tradition, culture and savoir-faire. I rush over to her I showed her some FTWWL pictures, both huddled under our umbrellas. With a huge smile on her ‘angel’ face, Isabele agree to be photographed.

She brightened my dismal start to the day. Every cloud has a silver lining…

Our chat was casual and interesting, meeting new people and learning new things every day.

FTWWL: Where do you live?

Isabele: Manhattan, NYC. I’m a student and actor

FTWWL: What do you call your style? How are you inspired?

Isabele: Fun, colorful, fresh, comfortable, interesting.

My sister and my city are my biggest inspiration.

FTWWL: What is your mantra?

Isabele: Laugh often

FTWWL: How would you spend your last 50 Dollars/Euro?

Isabele: Go out for some good food.

FTWWL: What does “happiness” mean to you?

Isabele: A warm day with coffee, food, and the people I love.

FTWWL: If you had to pick, what FTWWL item do you long for?

Isabele: Easy: a vintage sari scarf
