Lydia

Lydia: My style is girly and a little bit vintage. My mom inspires me. I like to look at old pictures of her and copy her style. It was so effortless and cute. It's so different from who she is now. I'm sure ten years from now my style will be very different. It's kinda cool that my mom and I dressed similar when we were about the same age.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Lydia: My prof recently told me that you have to take a leap of faith sometimes -- especially in the art industry, As an artist, you don't really know where your next pay cheque is going to come from, but you should just go for it because if you don't, it's never going to happen.

Check out Lydia's artwork on Instagram. "I paint mostly nude women with pumpkin heads. I have an obsession with the human body and I like the displacement of the face. People rely so much on getting information from people's faces, but you get more from the human body. Plus, the pumpkins are weird. I like seeing people's reactions."

Laura

Laura: I love black because I don't have to wash it very much and it matches with everything.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Laura: My dad told me that we're all just big bugs waiting to get squished. When I'm stressed out about stuff, his advice reminds me that in the end, it won't even matter.

Simone

Simone: I get fashion inspiration from social media. I love model Slick Woods' style. I've never seen anything like it.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Simone: My mom told me, "never regret anything because if you're happy, then every single choice you've ever made has brought you to where you are." Her advice has helped me look forward instead of dwelling in the past.

Krystyna

Krystyna: I like to dress up like classic Hollywood when I go out. Audrey Hepburn inspires me. She's a timeless beauty.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Krystyna: I can't remember the article where I read it from, but it said, "Collect experiences not things." I love to travel, go on adventures and explore. I don't focus on acquiring material things anymore.

Charlotte

Charlotte: I collect pieces that I really like and when I get dressed I just throw things at my body to see what happens. I don't follow fashion trends. I like unique pieces. My style is a hodgepodge of many things.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Charlotte: Remember when blazers was the thing to wear with everything? Like with jeans? Everybody was doing it, but I was actively avoiding it. Then one day, I found this great blazer, but I wasn't going to buy it because I was avoiding blazers. My friend's advice was, "Not doing it because everyone is doing it is just as bad as doing it because everyone is doing it. So just do what you want to do and don't even think about what everyone else is doing."

Maya

"My style used to be conventional, but I'm experimenting more now. I usually wear something edgy, but today is a cute day so I'm wearing this cute dress that my lovely boyfriend bought for me."

Nicholas

"My style is loud, vibrant and often has pinstripes. I prefer Bespoke suits. Off the rack tends to not fit or look as well. With Bespoke, I get to choose the precise colour and cloth I want. This is me."

Violette

Violette: My style is mostly Korean. I prefer wearing high-waisted bottoms to make my legs look longer and slimmer. Aimee Song from Song of Style inspires me. She's a popular Chinese fashion blogger.

TorontoVeve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Violette: I read a saying in a book. "The greatest nutrition in life comes from being alone." That's the Chinese translation. Being alone doesn't mean you're lonely. It's OK to be by yourself -- whether it's at home, in the library, on the street or in the shower. Being alone gives you the time to reflect about your studies, career and your status.

Karen

Karen: My style is both feminine and masculine. It's business, but sparkly. I'm really into the way Kristen Stewart dresses right now. Her fashion is androgynous, monochromatic and minimalist. I think it's important to not define people by gender. When you can't place a gender on a look then it forces you to be critical about someone's personality and style. If fashion is too feminine or too masculine, it's really easy to fall into the archetype of what a person is supposed to be. I think if there's more of a grey area, there's a lot more room for people to question who you are and what you are and not make snap judgements.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Karen: My dad gave me the best advice. He said, "Take risks. What's the worst that can happen?" You have to ask yourself that question when you're scared about a certain situation. The answer almost always is, "Nothing too bad."

Follow Karen on Instagram.

Cheyenne

Cheyenne: My style is a mixture of the modern with the 90's grunge. Alexander McQueen inspires me. He was and still is the king of fashion. Every one of his runway shows was theatrical. An Alexander McQueen dress wasn't just a dress, it was a prominent message.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Cheyenne: My mom told me, "Never give up." I want to get into modelling, but I"m a little shorter and wider so I get a lot of "No's" and slammed doors. By never giving up, I've also had a lot great experiences.

Charlotte

"I try to be elegant and edgy. Audrey Hepburn inspires me. I love fifties fashion -- the high waist lines, winged eyeliner and red lipstick. Anything that's classic beauty."

Jeff

Jeff: When it comes to business attire, I always stick to solid coloured suits with white shirts.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Jeff: A business colleague gave me the best advice. He said, "always know what you're talking about." In other words, don't spout off about something that you're unsure of because you'll look like an idiot.

Holly

Holly: My style is eclectic, comfortable and colourful. Gwyneth Paltrow inspires me. We're similar in age and life-stage. I find that she's always searching for the best in everything. She's great at putting together vibrant colours that work well with blonds and fair skin tones.

TorontoVerve: What's the best advice you've received in life?

Holly: A good friend told me to always strive for my hearts desire. The world is your oyster -- just go out there and attack it. That's helped me gain the confidence I need to pursue my daily inspirations and ideas. I just created a pop-up shop in Muskoka and I would have never done that if I didn't have the confidence.
