The Eyeline

The engaging Mel of Idée Géniale met up with me for brunch when she was in Vancouver this week.
She thrifted the floral ruffled blouse, belt and khaki shorts, American Apparel navy tights and her buckled powder blue loafers are by Jeffrey Campbell.

Lauren caught my eye carrying this pot she just sold on Craigslist. Her adorable bow skirt is from Forever 21, she thrifted the ruffle blouse, teal tights were Joe Fresh via Superstore and cute embellished flats are from Payless. This cute outfit cost her less than $50! Lauren just started the blog A Bird in the Hand focusing on food, fashion and travel.

Rachel, visiting Vancouver from Kamloops, BC embodies that cool as a cucumber vibe in muted tones and leather. Her jacket was a gift her grandmother sent from Hawaii, sweater was given to her by an ex-boyfriends mom, floral dress and flats from Urban Outfitters, black tights via a dollar store, scarf was a gift from a friend in Arabia and the sunglasses she bought at Winners.

The soft colors and her loose braid feels very Californian in it’s ease.  Everything Katie is wearing is from Aritzia where she works except the suede oxford shoes which are Stuart Weistzman.  She also has a fashion blog QueenandBroadway.

Serra – messenger bag from Voltage, Value Village top, Sirens leggings, socks a gift from Cayley, boots she bought online.
Cayley – Astro Satchel bag, blouse via Front on Main, American Apparel skirt, thrifted vest, H&M socks and tights, shoes from Gavity Pope.

I really liked Jennifers laid back cool style as she breezed by me on the street.

Almost everything she is wearing is from Aritzia (shirt, sweater, jeans), bracelet is H&M, necklace from a furniture store on Granville, Ray Ban sunglasses and Browns flats.

The jacket from Banana Republic she has had a long time, scarf from a consignment store, vest from an Ottawa boutique, Gap tights and American Apparel striped dress.

Hayley used to sell mens clothing and still uses it as an inspiration.  She is wearing a hat that belonged to her ex-boyfrineds Grandfathers, All Saints purse and oxford heels and a J.Lindebeg belt.

Ally doesn’t like labels so everything she is wearing was from thrift or consignment shops and her hat was a gift from a friend.

We’ve met Laurinda once before; she is wearing a dress and tights from Primark, H&M scarf, Spring double strapped ballet flats and jacket from The Gap.

Missed one Olympic era post, whoops!

They like to shop at Aritzia, H&M, thrift stores, vintage shops and The Block.

Ahh, remember when Burrard Street was this calm?
Shallynn usually wears black every day. Her blazer is from Aritzia, black skirt from Forever 21, Urban Outfitters blue top and Target flats. The tattoo on her foot is the latitude and longitude of where her aunt was laid to rest.

Robson Street Olympic Style.

Her floral scarf is vintage, jeans are Cheap Monday, laced flats from Aldo.

Jess is Australian living out in Vancouver for 2 years. Her tights are Bardot.

This photo was taken before the start of Lunar Fest.
Leah just got back to Vancouver from a 10 month working holiday in Australia and she is originally from New Zealand.  All the pieces she is wearing she brought back from Australia, the necklace is from the chain store Sportsgirl and she did a lot of vintage shopping there as well, this blazer is vintage.

Miran is from Korea.
