And the coolest coat ever.

Editor’s Note: Welcome to Shoppist’s new street-style column! Each week, our intrepid contributor Alex Kacala will be pounding the pavement, along with his photog pal Evan Schapiro, to find the best of what Philly’s wearing, and to see where you’re shopping and how you’re styling it all. Enjoy! xo, Emily

Name: Bianca


’Hood: Fishtown

Day Job: Owner of Fishtown boutique Toile Atelier

Where We Found Her: Warming up with hot cocoa while working on sketches in her boutique, open since November

What She’s Wearing: A jacket by Katharine Roman, a young Philly-based designer

Sound Bite: “Typically, I choose my shoes first and then style my outfit around them. If I feel like wearing my wooden-heeled black suede AllSaints pumps, I would pair them with black piecework leggings, and an asymmetric cut black top. But I own over 200 pairs of shoes, so I like to make sure they all get worn.”
