The weather is slowly but surely getting warmer, which means the time is ripe for showing some leg.
Donning oversized retro sunglasses, a fedora, and an embroidered jacket with leather sleeves, Lisa would fit right in at Coachella. Alyssa layered a neat black shirt with a Kenzo-esque tiger over a white skirt with sheer panels, while Vanessa paired a paneled three-quarter length skirt with a vintage bomber jacket and some seriously enviable abs.

Head to toe coordination is always risky business – the results can either be a stroke of sartorial genius or a complete, tacky flop. This week, Canadian style bloggers really committed, and took their looks to the next level.
Caillianne had us seeing red: from her herringbone coat to her tie-dye jeans to her printed tote – not to mention those signature scarlet lips – the lady in red never looked so fierce. Neither did her dog, Cubby.
Kassandra‘s outfit this week was an ode to floral denim. She upped the chic factor of her printed jeans and matching button-down with a fitted navy blazer and gold accessories. Kudos on a styling job well done.
Too much of a good thing? Never. Especially when there’s a patterned Canadian tuxedo involved.

It’s been impossibly cold this week. While some of our favourite style bloggers have taken to hibernation, others have put on a brave face and stylish coat and continued to look enviably chic. Kudos to you all! We’ve chosen the hibernation route ourselves.
Aside from being in awe over everyone’s winter style blogging prowess, we’re also in love with so many of the outfit details this week. The velvet bows on Gracie‘s shoes, the spotted print of Nigel‘s shirt, and the absolute perfect shade of burgundy of Michelle‘s handbag are inspiring us to shed our parkas and head out in something fabulous.
Even if just for a minute, before we run back inside for a cup of hot cocoa.

It’s been a confusing sort of week on the weather front. There were hot days that warranted pretty floral shorts like Camille’s and rather cold days that called for some serious bundling up à la Alyssa.
In between, we also enjoyed a few perfectly crisp fall days. Everyone, it seems, took the opportunity to don the first fall fashions of the season: Nelia sported an eye-catching new knit, Nigel layered like a pro, and Liz took her biker jacket out for a spin.
Even yours truly have our leathers and riding boots at the ready. Bring it on fall! We’re ready for you.

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.

I’m excited to announce that Jentine is the first person from Hamilton – where I live – to be included in The Canadian Street Style Lookbook! I live near the McMaster University campus, where the meaning of casual chic extends to wearing pajama pants in the middle of the afternoon, but Jentine is an example of the stylish Hamiltonians who focus more on the “chic” in casual chic. Her autumn-hued Marc Cain bustier crop top and thrifted Ralph Lauren cobalt skirt are a perfect pairing!
If the boys on campus dressed more like Ryan and the girls like Kelsey, I think I would be more interested in going to school. I’m completely envious of Ryan’s Ben Sherman gingham shirt and shoes, and love the vintage feel of Kelsey’s look. Her scalloped suede bottoms (Is it a skirt? A pair of shorts? Who knows!) are beautiful.
I imagine that my style will be similar to Alyssa’s look once I’ve become a successful professional in New York City, working in a contemporary art gallery and visiting my future friend Grace Coddington at the Vogue offices during my lunch breaks.
