Wow, loving these mod striped knit pants, especially with those chemical-white sixties boots. Add the leather coat, sunglasses, and hairstyle and I envision parties at Andy Warhol’s NYC Factory. Fun look. Great style. This woman is also a stylist as a serious hobby. (photo Feb 11)

As I was waiting for a light to change I fell in love with how this man topped his trim ensemble with an irreverent skull motif scarf. He bought the scarf in Paris, where he often travels on business as a professional sommelier in Vancouver. It turns out his fabulous double-breasted suit comes from a friend who had it tailor-made in the 1960s. But his style story doesn’t end there. During our chat the subject of socks came up – I couldn’t resist a peep, which was so worth it, more skulls! (see photo below, and love the boots too) And then he removed the scarf to reveal a fabulous bow tie. (see photo below) THEN I discovered this man’s delightful suspenders by Turnbull & Asser, which I didn’t get a photo of. I mean, how far do I go? I dared not ask about his under clothing…! Such a treat to bump into this man.

Wonderful! This woman was my first photo of the day. She described her look as “hippy hipster” – how perfect. I asked my personal assistant to bring her an apple as a prop, but wait…she already had one, and oops, I don’t have an assistant. Somehow the crisp, fresh apple amplifies the zing and positive vibes emanating from this woman. She is an actor with a keen interest in design.
