Halifax Street Style
Found this little business-savvy gem today,
looking awfully coco-esque, non?
Leanne wears an adorable sparkly tweed dress by Yumi,
with white lace trim, and pocket detailing!
Loves it.

Halifax Street Style
Those who know me well, know that I have a pretty sincere sense of my own personal style. I don't do the whole party-in-the-changeroom thing, where everyone comes out and discusses what they have on. I do best when shopping alone, with my trusty ipod, in order to drown out any sales associates trying to give me advice. And I don't ask for many opinions. Basically I know what I like, and I know what works for me- I can tell if something looks tres chic or tres shit (please, pardon my french).
The reason I love fashion is because it's a chance for people to creatively express themselves. Whether you are still working out the kinks and trying to find the "voice" of your personal style, or if you, like me, know what you like, all of our fashions are beautiful, purely because we are putting them out there. What we wear is just a small way of us showing others who we are, and what we stand for. Whether you present yourself to the world in something that is more of the norm, or take a chance with something that is unique, expressing yourself through fashion is a courageous act!
Below, is my Halifax Street Style mission, to pull out inspirational outfits, on inspirational people. Watch as the list of images grows!

I first met Mitchell in class. He was wearing a gorgeous Givenchy sweater courtesy of Value Village. It was basically love at first sight (for him, and the sweater). Today I loved his boots, and the military detailing on his sweater.

Sweater: Vintage
Slacks: American apparel

Meet Eman. I loved her hijab (head scarf). It had a very nice equestrian feel, like an Hermes scarf traditionally would. Her vintage leopard-print shoes did a great job of bringing out the colour in her bag, and added spunk to her outfit.

Jeans: Envy
Shirt: Newport News

Furs are like wines...
I had a lot of angst about this post- hence the delay. I wasn't sure if I was ready to label myself as someone who is "okay with fur for fashion". As a current lover of beef, who went without meat products for 7 years, I guess I am still constantly having an internal battle about where I stand on the topic. But here it goes anyways...
I cannot deny that with the reinstatement of furs, comes a curiosity about what it feels like to rock one (on the outside) around town. Fortunately, modern technology has given us many faux furs that look close to real without the need to kill. And while I don't think I could stomach purchasing one new, knowing the animal lived not too long ago, I do enjoy the idea of buying/inheriting used furs. I guess it has something to do with the idea of "recycling" the coat- that if an animal was killed to create it at one point in history, the piece should not be tossed out or forgotten. Am I making any sense?
Good furs are like good wines... they get better with age. I like the idea that there are so many ways to wear a fur these days, and while you walk around looking anything from elegant to edgy, you are keeping someone else, and the way they wore their coat, alive. Below are some classic, eccentric, edgy and lux ways of wearing furs.
Complete Classics: think timeless, elegant, and well-tailored.
Vintage & Eclectic:go all out and find your inner bohemian- play with different weights and textures of garments from around the world,
and from different eras.

Lapels:I am spicing up my pea coats, blazers, and leather jackets with one of these this winter. Found mine cheap at Elsie's
altamira: models off duty Frida Gustavsson
Deluxxxee: throw on a luxurious and loud fur to look old school Hollywood, and don't you dare forget to accessorize with gloves, shades, bags, jewels etc...

Edgie & Minimalistic:stay neutral and sleek, keeping your lines long and lean, and your colour schemes simple.

Whether you are a fan of merlot, cab sab, or pinot gris, furs are like wines and only get better with age!
