Canada Day Street Style

July 2nd, 2008 | Published in Street Style

Words and Photos by Maria

Vancouverites as well as throngs of tourists celebrated Canada’s birthday on a beautiful summer day. Many came out and welcomed the sun’s warmth, some donning very fashionable outfits. My “support system” lady friend and I took a walk along Gastown and English Bay, where we were sure to find many of these stylish individuals. Some were going to work or at work (oh, poo), some coming from work (yay!), and others were just hanging out. Jakqui, Isabelle, Michelle, Phillip, Wade, and Donna were some of the peeps we caught up with and managed to steal a picture of. Read away, look but don’t judge, and give us a comment or two. Away you go!
