The Man Repeller

You know those girls you pass on the street wearing ridiculous outfits all in the name of fashion? They all probably have The Man Repeller bookmarked. Leandra Medine, aka The Man Repeller, has taken the idea that ladies should dress for fashion, and not for the fellas, and blown it up. Those girls showing all kinds of boob and rocking ripped jean shorts with their ass cheeks hanging out. Yeah, while we may not be able to take our eyes off them, apparently they’re violating every rule in the female fashion playbook, which is The Man Repeller equivalent to Dos Caminos.

The Man Repeller has found her niche in the blog game by taking a different approach than everyone else and having a strong opinion. Sound familiar? In a similar way that we’ve found an audience in the food game, Leandra has done it in fashion. If you represent a relatable, unique point of view and do it with everything you got, people will get behind it. Within a year, The Man Repeller has become one of the hottest fashion blogs around. She’s everywhere.

Leandra’s fashionable restaurant picks are below. To keep up with The Man Repeller, make sure to follow her on Twitter and Facebook. Regardless of what she says, we’re still down with cleavage.

Leandra’s “Perfect For” Picks

Hipsters

Rubirosa (235 Mulberry St.) – “Likely the best pizza in Nolita – sorry Lombardi’s – Rubirosa is the perfect hipster hang out. I dare you to pop in in a suit.”

Outdoor/Patio Situation

Bar Pitti (268 Avenue of the Americas) – “Bar Pitti doubles as the people watching the spot of the century and great outdoor dining area. Located directly next to Da Silvano and on the cusp of the West Village, you’ll almost forget how good your pasta is gazing at the rad Martin Margiela shoes walking by.”

Quality Fish

Mary’s Fish Camp (64 Charles St.) – “So fresh, so clean, so pure.”

Specialty Cocktails

The Mulberry Project (149 Mulberry St.) – “Pop in and ask for whatever you’re in the mood for. They will hook you up and then some. It’s almost impossible to leave sober.”

Good Vibes

Tiny’s Tribeca (129 Rivington St.) – “Delicious food, a great bar, and beautiful people. You can also bank on the occasional Hilary Rhoda/Sea Avery spotting as Avery is a part owner!”

Leandra’s Twitter People

@DANNIJO – Danielle and Jodie of Dannijo know how to round up a good crop of instagram photos and send them to twitter.

@BarneysNY – Sometimes dangerous for my pocket, but mostly amusing for my brain. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get a great Simon Doonan quote in every now and then!

@rachelstrugatz – The accessories editor at WWD, also my partner in crime!

@WSJ – To successfully skim the surface and appear informed.

@mikkatmarket – Because it’s the most well priced fashion super market online so homegirl needs minute to minute updates!
