Although there was a language barrier, there was not a style barrier between us.

 It took probably a bit too much time to explain what I wanted to do (take her picture) and why I wanted to do it (thought she looked cute). 

But, when she finally realized I was harmless (after cooing over her vintage Coach bag), she went from deadpan to "this is my good side".

GUILT FREE HEAD TO TOE

This beauty (named Abby) was the first girl to catch my eye at the launch party for the Hip and Urban Girl's Guide website launch party.  And when I leaned in to do a little schmoozing, I found out she is the epitomy of "Guilt Free Style".  Her fun floral dress was a purchase from one of my favorite haunts- Winners.  Her bracelets and jewellery are all vintage finds. The pièce de résistance was her acid washed crossbody/shoulder bag that she (get this) has held onto since the ripe age of SIX years old!!!!!!  

Super sweet she was!  We can all take a page out of her book and think twice about discarding everything and anything. I'm not promoting hoarding, but if something is special to you (really special) hold on a little longer and it will be a treasure one day.

DO IT LOVE IT.

LOOK OF THE WEEK

MEET LOVELY LORI.

She's my ultimate 'guilt-free girl'. This effortless look consists of a vintage jersey houndstooth dress from her mother's closet, a Marc Jacobs clutch, Dereon Sunglasses, H&M Gold statement necklace, and forever 21 over the knee boots. 

What I've loved about Lori for years now is her ability to mix high and low. 

We've spent many an afternoon together cruising vintage stores across the globe, and with her connections to the designer world in N.Y.C, Paris, Africa, Montreal, and now L.A.- I know 

her unique style will never disappoint.

Meet Cindy. 

This lovely lady never disappoints. She has shown me the true meaning of style. Wear what you like, and invest in some quality pieces, your signature look will soon fall into place. Great custom made items like these long leather gloves will never go out of style. She also has to take many of her items to be tailored as it's hard to find the PERFECT FIT off the rack. 

I wanted to capture her on one of the most miserable weather days (torrential down-pours and gusting winds) to show you can still put your best foot forward. 

p.s. A PRADA tote doesn't hurt either. 

DO IT. LOVE IT.

CASUAL CUTIE

Strolling through the mall with my boys I spotted Belinda, a floor below us, and dashed down the nearest escalator to introduce myself. Not only did this student have an incredible sense of style, she was incredibly sweet and undeniably saavy. After enthusiastically hugging me, she shared her

FRONT STREET FASHION

This leggy blonde beauty who shall remain nameless is a woman after my own heart.  When I saw her struggling with her very full, hot pink, shopping bags, I knew the right thing to do was offer to help her to her front door.  However, I was too busy thinking "She is really pulling off those black socks with those platform pumps..."  So I did the next thing that came to mind and asked if she minded if I took her picture.  She was clearly ready to keep walking, but thought better of it and obliged. From head to toe she gave me the details of her outfit like It was, perhaps, the 5th time she had done it today...LOVE IT.
