Fashion on ‘The City’

Whitney Port seems to be taking a big ole bite out of New York,
thanks to the glamorous location shots and perfectly coiffed cast of ‘The City’.

We wish we weren’t so smitten with this far-from-reality show.

There goes our New Year’s resolution to take it easy on the tv watching.

But at least we watch ‘The City’ with purpose. The trendspotting is sooo much better the on ‘The Hills‘. Episode 3 was all about the love or lack thereof. Whitney gets the apartment that Jay found for her. Olivia so generously fears that this may cause an unhealthy emotional attachment…to the apartment. Erin (the ‘real’ friend) is in love and proudly declares it while Whitney wistfully stares off into space, no doubt pondering her yet-to-be-defined thing with Jay.

blah blah blah. Let’s talk fashion. Specifically the downtown hip zipper pants Erin was sporting in the awkward threes-a-crowd scene that opened up last night’s episode of ‘The City’.

We’ve spotted sexy ankle zips on several celebs including Lauren Conrad, Selena Gomez, and Sienna Miller.

Pair your Steve Madden leggings with a pair of flat boots (like Erin did on ‘The City’) or funky flats.
