I am always impressed when someone can pull off an animal print – mainly because I can’t do it myself. Is it because I’m an introvert? A lover of colour blocking? A boring person? Hard to say.
This week, we spotted style bloggers across Canada sporting animal prints, and needless to say, they all looked fabulous! From the rock ‘n’ roll vibes of Gracie and Anik to Sydney’s polished look, there’s no doubt that animal prints can make any outfit that much more fun.

As temperatures drop further and further down the thermometer, the wardrobe rotations of Canada’s style bloggers are getting darker and darker. Out with the colour-blocking, in with the black. But when everyone’s wearing black on black on black, a vibrant pop of colour is an uplifting sign that we may be chilled to the bone, but our sartorial spirit refuses to be dampened.
Vanessa‘s bright yellow sweater, Caillianne‘s multi-coloured tie-dye pants and Nelia‘s emerald green statement necklace brightened up their ensembles this week, and put a smile on my face too.

When it comes to accessories, have you ever thought about wearing a glove-shaped coin purse necklace around your neck? Donning a turban to protect your head from the fall chill? Or hanging a cat sweater casually over your handbag? No? Me neither. But this week’s round of personal style bloggers made just these bold choices for their accessories, and they all look amazing!
Caillianne worked a Maison Martin Margiela at H&M (launching next week on Nov. 15!) glove necklace and a vintage turban into a killer black-and-white ensemble that balanced chic on top with sporty on the bottom. The Beckerman clan can always be counted on for creative ways to accessorize.
There are tons of animal sweaters these days that are super cute and not at all kitsch (though I personally enjoy kitschy sweaters), and Alyssa shows us a fun way of wearing one – without actually wearing it. Hanging a sweater over your handbag is a genius solution because then you can have two amazing tops on you rather than just one (this would be the opposite of ‘less is more’ but would achieve the same effect – a brilliant outfit)!

As kids, this Civic Holiday weekend marked the halfway point of summer vacation. Back then, we’d start counting down the days until the first day of school (yup, we were those kinds of kids!); nowadays, we’re counting down towards our favourite season for dressing, fall. But as our brains start looking forward to trench coats, knits and riding boots, our hearts are still very much with summer, and so are our outfits.
We’re not the only ones. From Cara’s girly pink frock to Marie’s floral confection, from Nelia’s sleeveless spotted top to Liz’s pajama-inspired shorts, Canada’s style bloggers are taking full advantage of the balmy August temperatures and looking quite chic while they do it. And then there’s Jay, in head-to-toe black and leather pants. A man after our own hearts.
Whether you’ll be sporting the shortest of shorts or the fiercest of leathers, we hope you have a lovely long weekend, dear Canadian readers!

We’re all about the men this week here at The Backseat Stylers. But instead of the usual suspects like Gosling and Beckham (and Mr. Backseat Styler, of course!), it’s Nigel, Spencer and M’c Kenneth who are making us swoon with their…outfits. Can you blame us really?
Blogger/photographer/model extraordinaire Nigel knows not only how to pull together a stellar ensemble (that denim vest! that army tee! those accessories!), but also how to take a great shot. We secretly have a (style) crush on him. Sshhh. And if we were 19-year old men, we’d want to dress just like him.
Then there’s M’c Kenneth, the adventurous one who expertly paired fuchsia and a palm tree print last week and this week schools us again with a mixed print getup of florals, python and even a bowler hat. Pitch perfect outfits, week after week. Colour us impressed.
And finally we have Spencer, a newcomer to The Canadian Street Style Lookbook who is certain to become a regular. Pink shorts never looked so dapper, styled with a classic black blazer, crisp white button-down shirt and requisite pocket square. But, truthfully, he had us at Hawaiian print skinny tie.
