Hello! My name is Lydia, and I write a personal style blog called Style is Style. I love color and vintage inspired style and my blog consists of outfit posts, editorials and inspirations from around the web. I am very excited to be guest posting on The Clothes Horse (one of my daily reads) while Rebecca is enjoying Spain and Italy!
Although I'm pretty envious that Rebecca is travelling, I am enjoying being a tourist of sorts in my own city. I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada (home of the 2010 Winter Olympics!) I only moved to Vancouver about 9 mos ago. I used to live in a smaller city about an hour away, and I love the urban life! One of my favorite pastimes is discovering new nooks and hidden places in the city that I hadn't noticed before. My friend Marisa and I found a new photo spot whilst wandering one day after school. The stairs make for a nice backdrop, no?
My favourite parts of this photo set are as follows: A) Marisa's killer outfit. Those shorts?!? And that double collared blouse? Amazing. Too bad they are both from Thailand.... and B) My NYC Cosmetics lipstick. The color has just enough blue in it that it gave me a lilac pout. Exactly what I've been searching for this spring, and under $5 too!
What are your spring and summer picks? Do you have any favourite "hidden" spots in your city?

Great guest post, love the little socks, so cute!
Yayy, Lydia! You look awesome; I particularly love the socks and the fuschia shoes! And hurray for Vancouver, my much-missed hometown!
I'm not usually one for purple lipsticks (though I should probably get around to trying one already, if I'm assuming that purple lipstick will look good because purple eyeshadow and purples clothes do...), but it looks AMAZING on you, it's such a great colour!
& I LOVE your trench, and I especially LOVE the white socks paired with those adorable fuschia sandals!
So yeah, great guest post, I love your style! :)

First off, you are gorgeous (and so is your friend!)
Second, I love your shoes and skirt. The colors are great.

You both look so lovely! How cute are those socks. I'd love to visit Canada one day, it's must be beautiful and all the Canadians I've met are super friendly :)

i really need that shoes! loveit!
Nice to meet you! You have the most perfect trench coat ever. The blazer is great as well.
Oooh, I am in LOVE with Marisa's outfit. It's absolutely perfect!
That is an awesome shade of lipstick. And under $5? Hell, I'm there.
Love both your styles.
Lydia, you look adorable! I am truly loving that shade of lipstick too. It's very cool.
Vancouver sounds like a fabulous place to live. I bet the urban lifestyle is pretty awesome.
Lovely guest post! Hello there! :D Great mix of patterns and colours. I, too, am dying for the combination of the socks and shoes - so lovely! And amazing lip colour, it looks really great on you! I'd love to try that out though I fear it'd look too bold with my colours (beyond pale and blue-eyed, in a very Scandinavian way). Hah, but I'll totally watch out for any cheap lipstick in that shade and maybe give it a go anyway :o
Ooh, love the burgundy peep-toes and lacy socks, so stealing this look ; )
