Harriet the Spy, Revisited

30 Sep Harriet the Spy, Revisited

Tyson Chandler hangs out in my neighborhood.

I saw a tiny woman hop out of all black chauffeured SUV and he unfolded himself into the street after her. The woman with a Louis Vuitton Neverfull in Mono on her shoulder, who wasn’t his wife, made her way into a restaurant on 78th Street and he followed her in ducking his head.

So, two things.

Wearing: Forever 21 Jacket, Topshop Dress, Gunmetal Booties, Etsy Necklace and Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran Tote

Immediately, I had the urge to snap a picture and run up and get a quote. He and his wife were front row at a lot of fashion shows last week during NYFW and I wanted to get his thoughts on them. Who is his favorite designer? What was his favorite show? How does he choose what suit he’ll wear to games? Shoot, something.

We have this system at work when it comes to get scoops or seeking out quotes man on the street style that makes me feel like a legit fashion reporter. The fact that I was tired in my heels speed walking home because I had to use the bathroom showed me that my boss is in fact training me to be a hardcore [fashion] reporter. I had my doubts, I feel like I miss the ball sometimes, but instinctively, I seem to know what I have to do.

And that makes seven-year-old Channing that wanted to be Harriet the Spy, really, really happy.

The second thing, that restaurant, that I saw the two of them go into? On my way to the train tomorrow best believe, I am going to walk in there and try and get the scoop. What did they order? What’s good here? I’m going to try and talk my Brooklyn Boy into dining New York Knick style–which I think he will enjoy. He’s, like, one of three Knicks fans in the city.

Which, I think is more of Harriet’s grown up, stylish sister Georgina’s–that’s a Gossip Girls reference–steez. Again, that makes me really, really happy.
