You can always count on a sunny afternoon in T.O. to bring out the best in people, and the best in fashion. PostCity.com caught up with three gorgeous Toronto gals whose effortless style seems to come as easy as, well, a walk in the park.
Name: Shy
Occupation: TV Production
What are you wearing? A military-style cape designed by a friend of mine in New York, Laura Kazan, $350. My shirt is from Dubai, probably around $5, and my boots are from Browns, $450. And Gucci sunglasses from Dubai.
Favourite item in your wardrobe: A big ring, all made from one piece of some sort of plastic-like material. A rose, I got it from New York.
I’d never be caught dead wearing: You’ll never see me in the dead of winter shivering in a tiny dress, I think you have to be season appropriate. I think if you’re uncomfortable, it shows.
Name one purchase you couldn’t afford but bought anyways: A Diane Von Furstenberg jumpsuit – it has a bold black and white print and is a halter style with a belt. I had no reason to buy it, but I had to have it.
Who is your celebrity style icon: I like Victoria Beckham’s style and for a little while I even liked Jessica Simpson’s style, for a while she was doing a laid-back hippy chic thing.
Name: Devon Vaillancourt
Occupation: I work for an event space
What are you wearing: My shoes are Nine West, $100, old leggings (can’t remember where they’re from), top from Forever 21, $20, jacket is American Apparel, Michael Kors vintage watch, and my sunglasses and bracelet also vintage.
Celebrity style icon: Sienna Miller
Favourite item of clothing in your wardrobe: A grey t-shirt from Aritzia
What’s the most expensive item of clothing you own: $400 boots
I’d never be caught dead wearing: Sequins, black ones are okay, but any other colour I would never wear.
Describe your style in two words: Day in the park
Name: Kate Gordon
Occupation: Actress
Describe your personal style in two words: Quality vintage
What are you wearing: My jacket is from H&M. I thought it was a real deal, $79 before tax. My flesh-coloured fishnets I’ve had for five years. My tulip dress underneath is from a little boutique in Vancouver called Fifth & Proper, close to $300. My shoes were around $50, a gift from my sister and she got it from a vintage store in Oshawa. And my engagement ring? Well you can’t put a price on love.
Who’s your celebrity style idol: I know it sounds cliché but Nicole Richie (my sister helped design her new line) and Sienna Miller.
What would you never be caught dead wearing: Cross trainers with blue jeans.
What is your favourite item of clothing in your wardrobe: My full-piece cat suit that I bought in Vancouver. I tried it on as a joke, and it actually looked great and I wear it on special occasions.
How many pairs of shoes do you own: Way too many. I would probably say about 40 pairs. And I don’t wear half of them.
