Not even a little snowstorm can slow our favourite Canadian style bloggers down. This week, it was all about the winter whites. Ania paired a lovely ivory dress with tough Doc Marten boots, while Liz sported a cozy-looking oatmeal sweater with jeans and an oversized plaid scarf in the colour of the season, oxblood.
The duo from Kastor & Pollux, Dani and Bianca, donned matching bright white and animal print ensembles for NYFW, which begs a very important question: why do we at The Backseat Stylers never match our outfits? Definitely something to think about.

Justyna Baraniecki of Chameleonic, Ottawa
There are two incredible street style photos this week that literally made my jaw drop.
Justyna is an obvious one – she looks like a 7-foot-tall goddess who has just stepped out of a fairy tale. Her lace blouse is gorgeous, but it’s her full-length skirt, comprised of layers of sheer red fabric, is the highlight of her look. The clothing, the pose, and the snowy background combine for a breathtaking image.
Another stunner this week is Aliya in her dark denim shirt with contrast stitching, gold skirt, and chic hat. The brim of her hat swooping over her face makes her look rather mysterious, don’t you think?

Liz Clark for Elizabeth Victoria Clark, Toronto
The winter is always marked by a sartorial sea of black, but just because you give in to wearing the darkest of shades – to match your feelings toward the bitter cold, no doubt – doesn’t mean that you can’t still stand out in the monochromatic crowd.
Looking super chic in a black leather dress with square printed panels, Samantha opted for some intriguing surreal accessories, like a Maison Martin Margiela for H&M hair necklace and bag featuring a glove as the bag strap. From the same collaboration came Elizabeth’s cozy oversized turtleneck, which she wore with an incredible pair of perfectly-fitted over-the-knee boots. I was overcome with envy when I saw Jay’s leather quilted bomber, which I would wear in a heartbeat if it came in my size (I hope Santa is reading this). I’ve been a bit obsessed with quilted jackets recently, and Jay’s is definitely one of the best I’ve seen.

Samantha Beckerman of Beckerman Bite Plate, Toronto
This week, more is definitely more – more texture, more colour, more personality.
The Beckerman sisters showcased their incredible new pieces from the Maison Martin Margiela for H&M collection. Let’s face it, this H&M collaboration is so good that pretty much anyone wearing any piece from the collection would be declared the best dressed in town. Caillianne’s metal chain ring necklace lets you know that if you get in her way she will mess. you. up. (But seriously, Caillianne and the rest of the Beckermans are THE sweetest people ever!). Samantha’s belt jacket is, in her own words, “UN-REAL.” Or was it “AWESOMESAUCE?” Either way, she looks fierce beyond words, and we probably wouldn’t want to mess with her either.
Anya looked drop-dead gorgeous when she met Nicola Formachetti, creative director of MUGLER, at The Room Vancouver recently. I have to say that hers is my favourite look to date, from the very first The Canadian Street Style Lookbook post until now – and we can’t even see the shoes (they’re fabulous, I’m sure). Her Max Mara top is elegant, dramatic, sexy…it’s DIVINE! High praise, yes, but definitely well deserved.

Dani Roche of Kastor & Pollux, Toronto
This Tuesday, in between shows at World Mastercard Fashion Week, our always impeccably dressed friends Nelia and Kim were commenting on how they both happened to be wearing green trousers by Joe Fresh when, funnily enough, S realized that she herself owns both those pairs! The leaves may have changed colour already, but green can still be spotted all around.
We’re super jealous that Vanessa managed to get her hands on this season’s “it” item, the green Kenzo tiger embroidered sweater. Dani wore a beautiful H&M gradient sweater, while Anik’s neon green blouse complemented her perfectly fitted houndstooth pants. Speaking of houndstooth, the print continues to be a popular trend, and Joandy effortlessly pulled it off with a sophisticated black and white look.
Enjoy the final day of Toronto Fashion Week, everyone!

Nelia Belkova of Style Blog, Toronto
Sometimes, scouring personal style blogs for sartorial genius to feature in The Canadian Street Style Lookbook feels a bit like window shopping. The more blogs we click on, the longer our wish lists get. This week, we’re coveting Nelia‘s Nella Bella satchel. It’s a lovely shade of orange, looks very chic, and appears to be quite functional. Consider yourself warned Nelia: keep an eye on your bag if a Backseat Styler is within a 2 mile radius.
Lily is safe since she’s on the other side of the country from us. Given the opportunity, though, we certainly wouldn’t mind getting our grubby paws on her fierce Wolf Circus brass necklace. And classic YSL Tributes. And eye-catching pink polka-dotted jeans – who knew they could look so chic! Just send the entire ensemble over via good ol’ Canada Post, won’t you? Please and thank you.
We also hadn’t a clue we were in such desperate need of Wilfred‘s grey trousers until we spotted them on Elizabeth. On a separate note, she happens to be the target of some serious hair envy on our part. Awkward confession? Forget we said anything about that. As you were.
