It was February 2011. My grandma and I were in a store in Jacksonville, Oregon. I found some glasses made out of strainers and asked her if I could take her picture, she didn’t hesitate…

This woman looks fit for the runway, or at least a busy Manhattan street.  Check out a close up of her classy faux-fur coat and white sunglasses below. Chic.

This man’s name is Floyd and he’s a cowboy through and through. He used to ride in the Calgary Stampede and told me a story about getting a bull horn through the chest, piercing all the way to his spine, just missing it. His cigar smoke stained beard and worn suede jacket tell his story.

I met Marjorie while waiting at the bus stop.  Her blues and browns caught my eye.  She explained that in addition to being fashionable, her leather gloves were a practical barrier from bus germs and they give good grip on railings.  I love outfits that are stylish and practical.

The magnolias are in bloom, the sun is shining and this woman is going the distance to make the day brighter! Great red shades and notice how the red patent leather shoes match the bag perfectly? But it is the wide-leg plaid pants that add an extra layer of complexity to this outfit that makes it great.

This woman told me she was (but I’d like to say is) a model.  She looks pretty stunning to me. I especially like the large circular earring that she shows off by draping her hair to one side beneath her newsboy cap.

I spotted this woman’s beautiful mink coat from behind and followed her across a busy New York crosswalk until I was able to ask for her picture.  When she turned around I was even more pleased to see the deep red sunglasses and lipstick.  Very glamorous.

Originally from Montreal, but now living in Vancouver,  this lady hasn’t lost her flair for French fashion.  From head to toe,  starting with her black beret, fashionable fur coat (I know – controversial), designer handbag and finishing off with simple black flats – this lady’s got it goin’ on.
