Style on the Go!
Jill and I went for a walk through town tonight, hoping to find a few people to catch on film. Everywhere we went, people were on the move and almost impossible to photograph! I literally chased two different people down the road to try and get a picture, and one of them I didn’t even catch! Jill looked at me and said, “Oh man, that guy was the fastest man in the world! WTF??” So, aside from everyone being just a few steps out of reach, I got two photos worth sharing.
This fellow may have just been coming from work, but I liked the suspenders, and the big collar. More people should rock suspenders.
This lady was bookin’ it down the street! It took me three tries to catch her and actually focus my camera. I’m on the fence as to whether I like this look or not, but the bolero jacket and bright leopard print pencil skirt are an interesting combination to say the least.
Style on the Street – Fashion-Cyclista
Look at this sassy lady! This is Tusia, and she is rocking a sweet shirt dress and heels on this sunny Vancouver day. She is also rad because she is a bike mechanic at my local shop, and it’s pretty hard to beat a fashionista on a bicycle!

I really like this super minimal grey dress! The boots and red socks really worked well with it too.

Kanye West – Genius or D-bag?
I see Kanye West from a few different perspectives.
In my opinion, he does have a good fashion sense, and is one of the few artists that has left the old hip hop image behind. For a while, I had the idea that Kanye was just a self absorbed, flamboyant/obnoxious douche bag. From “George Bush hates black people” to “I’ma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best album of the year”, Kanye seemed to have a knack for pissing people off. At first I thought he did stuff like this purely because he is a dick, but then I realized that all of the stunts that he pulls are part of an ongoing plan to keep him in the spotlight. Everything is calculated and controlled. Now, storming the stage at the MTV Music Video awards, shows that in his pursuit of the spotlight, he is still a prick, but as much as people loathed him afterwards, he has only become more popular.
So, that being said, I prefer to look at him as a mad scientist/artist, best exemplified by his latest endeavor, a short film combining a medley of songs from his most recent album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” with a visual drama composed by him.
The movie is said to be influenced by film noir and concerns a fallen phoenix whom Kanye falls in love with. Check it:
Of course, there is Kanye’s fashion sense, which I think is worth noting:
So, there you have it. Musician, Fashionista, Director, Douche Bag.

Long Weekend!! Day 1. (style on the street)
There were geisha walking around Gastown…with modern hair. Cool with me.
Cute dress with boots! I love boots!
Not sure where these two were going, but I wanted to join them! This is what summer is all about!
Sweet old war-time motorcycle with side car I saw in Gastown. Rad.
My lovely wife! Ready for a day of yachting I see! I really liked the sun hat and glasses on her today, with the pencil skirt and striped tank. Oh, and that is our wiener dog, Penny 🙂
So many wedding photos being taken in Gastown today! This couple had commandeered a fire truck that was parked on the street and took some photos posing on it’s bumper.
A stylish maxi-dress. Very sleek and elegant. She had on a great bag with it too, but it didn’t make the photo.
So, that was day 1 of the long weekend! We’re off to see the fireworks tonight, and maybe party down? More Vancouver Style coming this weekend!

Style on the Street, 3 more summer looks!
This is Ryerson. The funny thing is, he’s not posing for the camera, he’s just that awesome. Skinny shorts, flannel, belt to highlight, lots of colour and some flippy-flops? word.
Casual, but stylish, simple, but you can tell he thought about what he was going to put on before he left the house. I dig the hat and glasses. This is summer in Yaletown.
This photo does not do her justice, but she had a great flow-y outfit going on, and all moved really well as I saw her crossing the street. Minimal, but in person had lots of life to it. Also, I just really like this photo.

Style on the Street, waiting for the bus.
Though skeptical that I was going to do anything legitimate with his photo, he obliged. This is a much looser, slouchier (but great) version of the popular cuffed jeans and boots look. I prefer this style over the usual super skinny jeans with boots and fitted flannel shirt.

A great summer look! Nice touch of colour, great accessories, and such a wonderful reaction when she realized that I wanted a photo of her excellent style! (she was pleasantly surprised). Wish I had a better shot of the bag though…it was a good one.

Soul for Sale
Social commentary? Yes.
Fashionable? Probably not.
Getting nostalgic over techno? Anytime.
Don’t get it? That’s OK with me.
Today was not productive….it degraded into drinking beer and surfing the net for old techno. ….I used to be a Dj, eh? Oh, to be young(er) and stupid(er) again…

Lookbook.nu Roundup (or, the weekend killed me, and I am too tired to go shoot photos)
Holy Hell, that was a good weekend. I am le tired. I had intentions of going for a walk tonight and shooting some photos, but I am finding it REALLY hard to get off the couch. So, that being said, I thought I would go through a few hundred of the latest posts on Lookbook.nu and see what the rest of the (hipster) world was doing.
Strangely enough, even though it is like a 10 to 1 girl to guy ratio on Lookbook, I always find it easier to find well dressed guys than girls. Too many short/baggy (fugly…seriously, when will this trend end?) jean shorts over tights on girls, and a lot of girls that post because they are pretty, and not because they dress well (or with any inspiration).
Anyways, here are my favorites that I came across…..
So coordinated! I love the tights, and all her clothing compliments her skin tone and hair!
Simple but classy look. Love the tie.
Post-Punk hipster goodness. I think heels would have perfected this though.
Just a cute dress. Nice.
This is just bad ass.
Reminds me of my dad’s sweet college jacket….maybe a new trend?
Purposefully Disheveled. I like it.
Pulled on my rock and roll heart strings.
So, that’s what the kids are wearing this week.
More from the streets of Vancouver later this week, I promise!
Oh, and Style Butcher t-shirts and stuff are in the works!

Style on the Street – Khatsilano Fest!
Well, there was a big-ass party right out my front door this weekend. I live in the Kitsilano neighborhood, and it was “Khatsilano Fest ” (I have no idea why it’s called Khatsilano Fest and not Kitsilano). There were music stages all down my block, lots of food vendors, and I live in kind of a fashion-y district, so there were lots of clothing sales, and people to see!
My wife spotted this stylish girl in her nice summer dress. I like it all, the shoes, dress and belt go well together, and the long blonde hair gives it a real good summer feel. Fun.

A Night in Gastown (or, How to make friends with Bourbon)
We did some adventuring last night! We went down to Gastown and checked out The Diamond, which I’m sure has nice food, but we were there for the drinks. Best cocktails I’ve had in Vancouver, hands down.
On our way to Gastown, I ran into this girl, who I’m sure is tired of being told she has a “funky” look. She had a cool, post-punk thing going on. It all works well, the hair, shirt, boots and skinny jeans, the jewelry and the leather bag. I dig it.
Gastown at night…
On our way home, we ran into a group of guys who were well dressed, but spoke little to no English, but seemed to understand “Vancouver Style Blog”, and were happy to pose for a photo. I really like the blazer worn casually, and the short cigarette pants. Good stuff all around.
We finished the night at Peckinpah, a Carolina style BBQ joint in Gastown. It’s now being run by my old friend Liam Lux, formerly of Lucky Bar fame (and my old boss from my bar days).
We ate BBQ, we drank lots of bourbon. Good times were had by all.

In front of of 49th Parallel coffee, I happened to see…
… an excellent look on a cool summer day. Love the jacket, blouse/dress combo, and she pulled of ankle warmers without looking 80’s. Well done. Everything she is wearing has something interesting about it, and it all works together. Best look I’ve seen in weeks.

The Fall/Winter Men’s runway show from Etro in Milan. If you feel like I do about this collection, you may not like all of it, but there are definitely some interesting cuts and fabric combinations. And a lot of leather, so if you are a PETA fan, this may not be the video for you…

Style on Robson Street
I saw this gentleman running some errands by bicycle, which is always excellent in itself, but doing it with great shoes and jeans, even better. The slim shirt and green bike bring it all home. I won’t try to guess where his accent was from (Aus, Eng, NZ?) but it really added a nice touch. Cheers.
