Chinny ~ Illustrated by Qin

Ran out of film when I saw her....I was so upset at myself for not bringing a spare roll. At least I've learned my lesson. So all I could do, was photograph her with my old 3MP cell phone camera and have Qin sketch her.

Her bold hairstyle gave her an edge, while that canary dress gave her feminity.

I think this mix of both hard and soft made her look lovely!

Dress: somewhere around Queen St. West & Spadina

Hair: cut herself ~ love the shaved side!

Loved the 'All black' look on her. Funny coincidence, our style was actually pretty similar that day.

Found her yesterday right at the corner of College & Yonge St.

I loved her more delicate and feminine take on the typical grunge look I'm more accustomed to seeing. Isn't she adorable?

Lovely pair I found on Queen St. last weekend~
I simply adored Kathleen's look from hair to shoes! Her monochrome look had this delicate country feel to it. I had to take another shot of her without her glasses, she's got stunning blue eyes~

Spotted this couple strolling on Queen St. They immediately caught my attention, Frank with his amazing tattoos and haircut, Terrie with her boyish two-tone shirt. 

As a side note, there was a little accident at the photolab: the film got stuck during the drying process, which created those scratch marks in the last shot. Luckily, this was the only frame that got damaged. But somehow, I like the end result, it adds some character to the photo.

Was trying some nail polish at Shoppers last week when I spotted those two (let me digress here for a second, the nail polish was from Essie, called 'Meet me at sunset'~ For anyone into vibrant orangy-red, I would totally recommend it! and it goes superbly with tanned skin color!). 

It was Seui's hairdo and colorful outfit that got my attention first. But I also really liked Bin's earrings that were totally in style with his haircut.

Everything is from Korea, except for the iphone case from Spain.

One thing I've recently decided to do (and I'm soooo glad I did!), is to bring my camera  on my way to work. I was lucky enough to find her right in front of my lab  :)
