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…

Some things, like leopard print scarves, will be in style for a long time and I don’t mind!  Whether you are Joan Jett or her grandmother, a little leopard print is going to look great (especially with some large fashion sunglasses!).

This colourful woman caught my eye on the way to the bus stop.  Her orange scarf is a great accent to her gorgeous head of hair.

The beautiful shawl this woman carries was gifted to her by a friend while en-route to Paris.  Having forgotten a jacket, she used this shawl almost every night and even slept with it a time or two.

Great mixture of patterns and texture.  ‘Material mashup’ is a term I heard yesterday and it describes this outfit perfectly — a wild but effective mix of fabrics.  Her glasses are animal print.

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.

What outrageously cool hair and bona fide boho style.  So radiant!  She was in a wedding party with Vancouver shoe designer John Fluevog many years ago.

Oh nothing, just a quick trip to the produce store.

A for effort!  Love the dedication to cranberry tones right from the pocket square to the feather in his fedora.   No matter what the color, tone on tone never fails to win style points with me.   I bet his socks are cranberry too — this gentleman had a zip in his step that smacked of matching underlayers.
