The Canadian Street Style Lookbook – September 28, 2012 Edition

This week, bold and clean cuts, such as Sydney’s elegant vintage (inspired?) coat with charming gold hardware and Joandy’s pencil skirt with cut out front, caught our eye as much as statement pieces, like Sydney’s brilliant two-tone green pants and Joandy’s Givenchy Rottweiler shirt, did.

S and I are planning to sprint to the nearest Joe Fresh to find Nelia’s gorgeous houndstooth blouse for ourselves. Hunting down must-have items is our favourite kind of exercise, and we’re thinking that Lily’s sweatshirt, loose-fit pants and Gucci heels might just be the perfect kind of outfit for such occasions.

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.

The Canadian Street Style Lookbook – August 17, 2012 Edition

Kate Horsman of Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Vancouver

With Equipment-type blouses and peplum tops taking over our closets, we haven’t been giving our t-shirts as much love as they deserve lately. This week, Kate and Jay reminded us how a not-so-basic t-shirt just might be the statement piece our wardrobe is missing.

Kate paired her Givenchy angry dog tee with a maxi skirt, denim vest and, of course, her big dog Sarge. Fierce. We wouldn’t want to mess with Kate or Sarge. Jay, on the other hand, went whimsical, donning a Lanvin for H&M embellished t-shirt and matching (unembellished) shorts for an all-white, summer-perfect look.

Our t-shirt rotation is looking woefully inadequate, thanks to Jay and Kate. We’re now officially on the hunt for the perfect tee! Perhaps a fabulous printed Clover Canyon piece, à la Brooke?
