Video Sidewalk Style: (Not Your) Granny(’s) Style

By Lucia Abramovich ,   Alejandro Salinas   Published Thursday, July 02, 2009

Weekly Standard editorial assistant Katherine Eastland may describe her sartorial choices as inspired by old people—“I really like granny and grandpa style,” she says—but we don’t remember seeing pictures of our grandma looking so put together, and Eastland looks stunningly sophisticated, not dated. Perhaps it’s the pillbox hat, which adds a touch of whimsy to the look, or the fact that she, like Katharine Hepburn, knows the value of a good tailor. Either way, Eastland has one of the more inspired looks we’ve come across. Check out the video below to see her look—and to find out how books can be used as fashion accessories.

I think that Katherine’s style is beautiful and even more importantly, always original. And no, she does not remind me of Alicia Silverstone.

I like her whole get-up and attitude toward fashion except for the "books as accessories" part...although whatever gets people to read...

Does she remind anyone else of Alicia Silverstone? Anyone?
