2012 Street Style Wrap Up

It's hard to believe that we've come to the end of another year so quickly.

I want to give a big thanks to everyone who appeared on TorontoVerve this year. Our success wouldn't be possible without you.

Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Lowe's Toronto Christmas Market: Andrea "A Tiny Bit of Funky"

Last night was the perfect night to ring in the Christmas cheer early at the Lowe's Toronto Christmas Market.

Christmas carols played endlessly as families, couples and friends crowded the rustic cobblestone walk. The enticing aromas of cashews, grilled cheese and poutine filled the air.

Christmas lights adorned The Distillery like thousands of beautiful bright stars. Children screamed with joy on the Ferris wheel and merry-go-round. It was a fun evening for all.

Andrea: "My style is classic with a tiny bit of funky."

Kirsten: "It's All Pretty Personal"

"My style is a textual mixture of vintage and new. It's all pretty personal."

Next year, her cool look will be featured on a style blog of her own.

Cait: "My style is very classic. I like anything from the 1920's and 40's -- old Hollywood glam. Katharine Hepburn is inspirational. She personified strength."

Cait is an inspiring singer and will showcase her soulful music on her soon to be launched website at CaitAlexander.com.

Eric: Local Street Style

"I like simple colours and a strong accent. Pretty much every Danish person influences my style. I've been to Denmark twice -- the style and the way people carry themselves are so unique. I am also obsessed with a Danish blog called The Locals."

Erin: "Feeling the 60's Movement"

"I try to keep it one of a kind. Right now I'm really feeling the 60's movement -- I got the Mongolian fur on. I'm really influenced by Twiggy."

Nettika: "A Little Bit Rocker & Hippy"

"My style is a little bit rocker and hippy -- very casual. My fur and boots are vintage. I love to shop at 69 Vintage."

Cliff: Neo-Victorian Steampunk

"My style is Neo-Victorian with a touch of steampunk. I dress like this all the time and occasionally I'll  wear a British uniform. Generally, I get favourable reaction from the public. A lot of people recognize steampunk. Often, people will pull out their cameras. It's a lot of fun."

Kimberly: "Fun & Colourful"

"The best way to describe my style is amateur, but inspired."
