Equal Parts Fun and Chic Please!

Vancouver

Judith & Jennifer

We spotted these stylish fashionista's at the European Haute Couture event at Hycroft House, Vancouver.

We couldn't resist the perfect red sundress paired with the jacket, definitely a style inspiration. She caught our eyes everytime she strolled past. Jennifer is wearing a red sundress she made herself, with a Suttles and Seawinds (Nova Scotian) quilted jacket by Vicki Lynn Bardon purchased by her grandmother in the early 1960s. Her look is accessorised with a vintage Gucci shoulder bag and BCBG heels.

Judith looks every bit timeless, elegant and classic; the perfect Chanel girl. Judith is wearing a Chanel inspired look and a Furla bag. The yellow gives the right punch of colour for a Spring afternoon.

Jen has always been my fashion guru! Even through, and I'm sorry Jen that I'm admitting it here for the world to see, the "grunge" era! Haha! Also, I used to play dress up in Judy's clothes when I was growing up. So much fun! Jen and Judy look truly magnifique ALL THE TIME!! Seriously. You should check out their closets! ;)

I agree. French manicures on toes are a big no no. The nude shoes really compliment the outfit.

Fabulously fashionable! The daring trendiness of the daughter and the classic youthful flair of the mother.... a study in fashion for age appropriateness !
