Nothing like a Grey Cup Weekend to bust out the frontier spirit – loud, drunken, slovenly – at least this is the part that stands out for me. Herd mentality has ruled the sidewalks these past two days, with fans sporting oversized team jerseys and gaggles of boisterous cheering squads in full Barbie makeup with matching parkas and pom-poms. But that’s what Big Sports are all about… So I was elated to see this visual oasis on Hornby Street. This man is from England and he has stopped on the Canadian west coast to recoup before moving on to Montreal.

Ta-dah! Here she is to brighten up anyone’s day. Big, bold buttons, crazy swirly-q rain boots, a giant ring, and hunks of bracelet. Fantastic. And you can’t beat that smile. So what if it’s raining? she seems to say. Love this style.
