It’s amazing what a scarf can do for an outfit. Just a little touch of color and class goes a long way, especially in winter when we are all bundled up. I love how this yellow scarf complements the flare of this woman’s skirt.

This bright red coat and big black fur hat drew me in from almost a block away – I couldn’t resist. Two colours I adore (I know, I know, black isn’t a colour!). Can you believe this woman is 89? She radiates youthfulness!
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.

While enjoying a sunny day on the seawall, I took notice of this woman because of her black knee high socks. This has always been one of my favourite looks but I never feel like I can pull it off. She has most certainly put a good look together – not only the socks but the trench, scarf, glasses and hat create a perfect ensemble for a Sunday afternoon seawall stroll.
While in the midst of a large group at a rally, this woman stood out from the crowd with her bold fashion statement. After speaking with Diana, I learned that she began to pick and choose her clothing at the early age of three – her mother told her she was very particular about the clothing she wore. She loves bold colors and enjoys mixing and matching accessories and jewelry.
It was lovely meeting Phyllis on a sunny, Saturday afternoon – such grace, poise and impeccable style. Asking what inspired her style, she told me that she and her husband were from New York and had worked at Tiffany and Co. for over 25 years. Although she loves New York, she is now enjoying her 90′s on the West Coast.
Meet Frankie, a woman after my own heart. I will never tire of black from head to toe - it’s a classic look. From her newsie cap to her perfectly fitted pea coat with gold buttons, she’s really got her look down and she’s lookin’ good.
We don’t often photograph couples, but these two are a match made in heaven. Out walking on a Saturday afternoon, stopping briefly to listen to a busker and I imagine, heading home to hang their hat and coat in a place filled with green gorgeousness.

This casual blend of dark layers is nicely tied together by this man’s plaid scarf. I originally photographed him with his jacket buttoned, but he insisted on showing me his under layers. What appears to be a fanny pack around his waist is actually a hand-stitched green cloth with a lion on it that has important symbolic significance to this man.
A radiant ensemble of warm colors. This woman stood out among Vancouver winter grays and blacks. Notice how her printed pashmina and handbag highlight her beautiful hair.
