Candace: Spring Blossoms


It's what every street style bloggers' been waiting for: Spring!  And it couldn't come any sooner.

Let the colour begin!

"I like to mix up expensive and lower-end brands together.  I especially want to shock people when they see me -- I want them to ask 'what is she wearing'."

Christopher: Under the 'Style' Influence


"I like to experiment and have fun with my style.  I also think that men should take influences from females because they know how to dress.  There's nothing wrong with blurring the lines between men and women's fashions."

Wendy: Lisbeth Salander Chic



It wasn't long ago when we first captured Wendy's street style on Queen Street West.

Travis & Jennifer: A Day at the Ballet



Travis: "My style is old-fashioned and traditional."

Jennifer: "I love vintage fashion, which is often inspired by my travels."

Unbeknownst to me, I had previously shot Jennifer's street style in Kensington Market, which is further proof that this city is smaller than I think.

Also, after a brief conversation, I was impressed to learn that Travis is a director of [IN]cubes - an organization that INcubates maverick entrepreneurs seeking capital.  So if you're a web-based company and you're seeking a little mentorship to get off the ground, consider visiting [IN]cubes' website.

And to see her life in pictures, check out Jennifer's blog, Big Deal Dawson.

Onome: Harlem Renaissance



"I'm originally from New York so I like to mix in a lot of elements from the Harlem renaissance with a lot of modern day fashions.  I also like rustic boots.  My style is school boy mixed with a military feel."

Carol: European by Design


"My style is more on the European side.  My father is Italian and I lived in Italy for 2 years.  I also spent a lot of time in Paris.  French women often inspire my look."

Marco & Lorenza: Brother & Sister


Marco: "My style is retro -- a little bit 70's & '80s and very Italian."


Marco's little sister, Lorenza, was visiting from Italy and she just happens to have her own line of clothing and accessories called Keep the Change.

Claire: Mod Squad Cool


Claire's cool street style instantly reminded me of Mod Squad's Peggy Lipton in her vintage leather coat and flared brown jeans.
