See the Vancouver street style images »

Street style is often influenced by its surroundings and our latest batch of photos from Vancouver is vivid proof. Last month, the city’s Robson and Granville streets were closed for Viva Vancouver, an indie clothing and accessories market selling awesome wares while encouraging the liveability of the area, in keeping with the city’s pledge to be greenest worldwide by 2020.

On the street, stylish shoppers didn’t disappoint wearing print-heavy ensembles as they perused the market’s various stalls. The year’s most popular prints were in full view ranging from checkers to ikat to polka dots. In addition to the ever-popular florals and stripes, fall’s focus on the black and white trend was evident.

Go inside Toronto’s first Gravity Pope »

The latest west coast export, Gravity Pope, has settled in to its first east coast location on Queen Street at Ossington Avenue. The doors of the stunning three-floor haven for shoe lovers and shoppers alike have been open for over two weeks—an exciting moment for west coasters currently stationed in Toronto.

Inside the newly opened doors, the first floor houses all the shoes and menswear. With walls and tables stacked with variations of must-have shoes from solid gold Jil Sander runners to the most perfect Chelsea boot with a bright red side panel by Peter Jensen. Price points run a little on the higher end, but there are some reasonably priced pieces available from the Gravity Pope line that features leopard print pony hair flats for $150 and brands like Superga and Vans—ready to cure a sneaker fix.

Ice cream, pink lemonade, and nearly 2,000 balloon animals aren’t typical ways to start a Sunday morning—but then we only get to start our day off with a Mulberry fashion show but twice a year. This show is always a big ticket of LFW, for its prime guest list (um, today’s show included Kristen Stewart AND Kate Moss, who wore a Canadian tuxedo and a brown hat!), super-luxe venue (the upscale Claridges Hotel in the tony Mayfair neighbourhood), dogs on the runway (this season: miniature schnauzers), and, obviously, the fact that the brand is one of the fastest-growing luxury brands out there. Another way to start the day: sequins, and yet another sorbet palette of yellow, green, and pink.

When you think “bunny sweater,” it’s unlikely that you imagine the big, graphic rabbit emblazoned on this slouchy cozy sweater ($90) from London-based designer Peter Jensen’s collabo with Urban Outfitters–more fit for an après ski soiree than an “Ugly Christmas Sweater” party.
