One of the things I love about street fashion is that there are no rules. Classic can be mixed with contemporary, wild can be mixed with conservative and the result can be stunning. Street fashion, which is essentially how the average person chooses to dress on any given day, is dependent on so many things. It is an expression of our mood, an expression of what we find beautiful or cool and is inspired by a need to belong and be admired by our peers. When I look at all the pictures in today’s post I’m reminded that even though there are so many elements that go into creating a great outfit, some people manage to make it look easy. I wanna thank all the fashionistas out there for giving me a place to rest my eyes. There is so much destruction in the world so it makes me happy to think that millions of people create something everyday, just by getting dressed.

I love this Channel ankle purse. One of the most interesting pieces I’ve seen

These ladies were on the their way to work. They make their summer dresses look effortless and fresh.

I originally wanted a pic of the young man on the right but when his friend showed up, I knew it had to be both of them. Great T and dress shirt!

It is MAD HOT in Toronto today! Yesterday’s eruption of thunder, lightening and rain didn’t break the heat for long. The blissful July weather has city dwellers sporting cool and comfortable fashions that are stylish and oh so fresh and clean. Everybody in today’s post managed to put together an outfit that is sensibly cool in terms of temperature and attitude.

Flowing skirt and tank…Perfect for beating the heat.

The large Juicy purse makes it easy to carry a load while remaining comfy. Every woman should have a big stylish purse.

The perfect summer dress

Light colours and fly runners

I have not seen anybody bust this hair style in a while. She is rocking it SO well and it’s a great way of keeping cool.

His sun-kissed curls are to die for!

I have a few rules when it comes to taking pictures of everyday people. Firstly, I never photograph anyone who is on their cell phone. It just seems kind of rude to interrupt someone when they are having a conversation. I have wanted to break this rule so many times! The most fashionable people always seem to be in the midst of a heated cellular discussion. BOO! If a person seems like they are in hurry I try to avoid them as well and if it’s raining I do not ask people to stop and pose. Basically, fate decides if I will ask a particular individual to pose for me. Fate presented the first young man in today’s post. He was standing outside a coffee house putting out a very chill “I’m-in-no-hurry” vibe . He was not on the phone and it was not raining. So when I walked right by him, I had to get mad at myself. I turned around and approached him

His shirt is a map of NYC. I told him I thought it was cool and asked him if he got it in New York. He replied with an appreciative smile, “No, Japan”

I broke one of my rules unknowingly for this young man. He and his friend were in a hurry and I asked to take his picture. They looked surprisingly calm so I couldn’t tell that they were behind schedule. I asked him to pose facing me because I love his shirt but he preferred posing to the side. I love the side view as well cause it shows off his ink. Thanks so much for stopping! I hope you got there in time!
