And who thought flares wouldn't come back?!

That's right. They are back, and in full force. I am prepping to scour the streets of Vancouver for keen few who have caught on. No doubt there will be some long legs of flares out there in this spring weather. Be you a girl, or a guy- the seventies are back, and I admit- I am rather excited to see where people take it!

60s LOVE

February rolls in as do the waves on Kits shore. Wow. Fall has gone and past, and looking outside my little window, it seems as though winter has as well. Lush green leaves, big, wet rain droplets, and little green potted iris and hyacinth bulbs lining the racks outside the grocery stores. Could it be Spring? We have yet to see. For the moment it is Vancouver weather, and I love it. The old man with a long silver ponytail and Valentine's card in hand, smirks at my sister and I as we dash by dressed in 60s attire. I imagine that to him, the past few decades have melted as quickly as the snow has this week. I imagine that the days of Joni, Jean, and Joan are fresh in his mind, as are Jimi's vicious guitar solos and the Who's long wailing chords. Or on that note, perhaps a tad foggy.

Sixties. The day I get over them is the day I think the world will end. I adore just about everything related to or even vaguely inspired by the sixties. Bring on the seventies and everything the spring trends will surface, but first, here is a quick ode to the sixties.

Sam Haskins captured the 60s we have come to adore, from little girl stockings and tom boy linens to the winged liner and pretty lingerie.

Marianne Faithful, I love her for her bangs and fur, and a little for her music as well.

Winter Coats

So, with winter comes fun: snow (for most of us), scarves, hats, mitts, and everyone's favourite winter staple: Coats!

I enjoyed finding a few the past while and thought to share!

Warm and light grey wools and pin-plaid layers from Viktor and Rolf A/W Collection:

And I absolutely love this Monki coat I found on Lookbook. I love how she wore it:

I personally think the leopard-print coat is getting a bit tiresome, but here is mine I found at a Vintage shop in Calgary:

And Vivienne Westwood's brilliant Storm Coat:

I love what is done with the scarf! The material juts folds brilliantly!

Before the Leaves All Fall...

I believe its time to transition to Fall, however I wanted to take advantage of a bit of sunshine before the rain, or even the snow, sets in.

I shot a few of Josefa Cameron and Jordan Dufault, in lovely vancouver.
