The wonderful thing about living in a large metropolitan city is that you don’t have to go very far to see a fashion statement. This afternoon I didn’t even have to leave my apartment building! As my boyfriend and I were walking out of our building, I saw a young woman wearing a simple black summer dress that she had jazzed up with a funky hat. She was on her way into the building and was nice enough to stop and pose for me. It made me feel good to know that I had already gotten some work done and I didn’t even have to take 10 steps. When I mentioned this to her she reminded me that it is Canada day and that I didn’t have to work today if I didn’t want to. That made me feel even better!
A little further down the street we spotted this young man rocking baby blue camouflage. I noticed his shoes first. They remind me of a pair that Pharell is wearing in the cover art of the latest N*E*R*D album. Good album too!
The fashion statements at Pride were AMAZING as usual! This is one of the hottest street fashion events of the year, so naturally I had to be there. One of the reasons I love Pride is because the vibe is so open and loving. Everyone is your best friend and there is absolutely no attitude. The fashions are bold, eye catching, experimental and break all the rules.
This young man is holding my card. I always give one to the people that I photograph to prove I’m not crazy.
I wish I could have taken more pics of the two ladies below. The second pic is not that good but I decided to post it anyway cause she still looks fantastic. I wish I could rock a ball-gown with that much grace!
I love R&B. I have loved R&B for years and like many people of my generation, artists such as Ginuwine, Monica and Dru Hill bring back memories of slow dancing and singing with friends on the high school’s steps between classes. I will admit, however that I had an ulterior motive when I bought my ticket for this year’s Ice Cream Fest. I had a sneaking suspicion that I would find fashionistas a- plenty and I WAS RIGHT! There were so many FLY people! Guys, if you want to find a sexy female who knows how to dress, you must attend next year. Ladies, the same goes for you if you are looking for a well-dressed man. The pics that I have posted do not do justice to the fashion forwardness of the peeps who attended. My only regret is that I forgot to carry an extra set of camera batteries
