Qin saw this girl the other day and did a quick sketch of her. I really love the dynamic feel of this illustration and the snow brushing over her jacket. She looks so cool and fierce in our cold winter~

Today, Qin sent me her representation of Dionne & Lauren, whom I had photographed a few months back.

I love it! It's so adorable and so close to the photos!

What a great pair ~ There's just such a cool vibe from these two, and I love how their styles complement each other, with one more boyish while the other more feminine. Great way to see how you can style differently a look with leather jacket and ankle high boots. 
They remind me of Qin & I in a way~

~ Fashion Inspiration ~

Here’s a little sketch of a girl, inspired from ‘Odile’, the character of Jean-Luc Godard 1964 movie “Bande à part”. 

I was watching it last night and found the black and white images absolutely beautiful, and terribly inspiring! 

…I found myself wondering, what the real colours of her clothes might have been.

~ Qin's Monthly Haircut ~

It's been a routine ever since I decided to cut off her hair and mark the beginning of the twins looking not so alike :)

A really cool girl we saw last weekend at Dark Horse Cafe in Toronto.

She had this amazing hair, and everything she wore matched perfectly. 

Love the soft pastel colors of her outfit too!

I almost never wear skirts, but sometimes, the change feels nice.

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!
