Kathy Stinson once said: Red Is Best, and honey, it still is! It's the colour of rage, the colour of love, and the colour that brightened up an otherwise dull day in October when it came walking towards me in cardigan form. I found Sam doing some vegetable shopping in Kensington Market the day after Nuit Blanche. This OCAD student had been up all night participating in a group performance piece and was probably looking to blend in with the peppers, but I couldn’t miss him!
In this outfit Sam manages to look both cozy and hip with a little dash of sexy, a tough combo I've been trying to pull off for the last decade. Inspired by interesting colour and shape he works the look in his fave sweater (from Value Village) in his fave shade, natch. The scarf was stolen from mom, and the trench was stolen from a friend's ex boyfriend (and that's where all of our best clothes come from, no?). The jeans are Levi's with a self styled rip and the shoes are Adidas with killer gold details. Since we're on to details, a special shout out goes to Sam's rad hair, recently cut at W on Queen St. Wicked.

dang girl. this blog keeps getting sicker. love the finds.
Couldn't agree more - red IS best! :)
Amy,
Everything about this picture works-IMHO: the red cardigan and those delicious looking red peppers; the green of the cukes and the splash of blue at this young man's knee.
And there's a certain je ne sais quoi about the picture that attracts me. I think it's the moodiness that comes from the way you underexposed it--or maybe the way the pics appears electronically. If I may be so bold, you get an "Atta Girl" for this one---ATTA GIRL!! Hugs, etc.
Hey!
What a coincidence! Sam's also from my agency haha, I love the guy, and his style. And his hair. Lol. Oh and Value Village has the best stuff sometimes, especially if you're going for a hipster look.
LOVE IT!
