UniStyle: Red Sirens, ANU

 

This girl asked me to specifically mention that this is not a dress, it is a mumu. 

 JOYFUL.

If you look closely at this photo you can see Dani's chin piercing silhouetted! I think that's charming.

UniStyle: Jaunty Shoes Photographed Poorly, ANU

These orange sandals offer no arch support.

London Calling

I have returned from London with a slight tan on my shoulders (yes, it was 30 degrees when I arrived) and a gorgeous bright red bowler camera bag! My tanned shoulders and I got sick of walking around with a handbag and a camera bag, so decided to combine the two in to one stylish look.
So after assessments are all over, you will see me sporting my lovely red bowler bag, taking photos of you fashionable folk of Canberra.

UniStyle: Let Me Get Your Details!, ANU

My kingdom for that squarey-skirt alone, but what else have we got here?

(^Click this one!^)

I will take your ability to apply perfect lipstick too. Hand-eye co-ordination, so chic!

UniStyle: Union Court Grass, ANU

We saw a girl today and did a bit of a double take...

... because, yes, it's a shirt with dog portraits all over it.

It is a shirt that answers your question "why?" with a resounding "why not?" Awesome. Also:

Love love.

UniStyle: Laaaadies, ANU

UniStyle: Sass + Bide Denim is *Really* Shittly Made: Embrace it, ANU

UniStyle: Seeing Red, ANU

Continung the theme of colour co-ordination, I like the dialogue between this girl's pixie cut and her high waisted red jeans. The vintage brown leather bag really completes this look. We had a chat with her as we were lining up for free pancakes, and it turns out she's a friend of the Nerd Boyfriend we featured earlier. That is sort of neat.

Have you had any friends featured on here?

UniStyle: Ode to Sweater, ANU

The more I stare at it the more it inspires poetry...


What manner of needle-god created you, o crazy sweater?
On a beautiful blood red morn,
Under the...trees?
Tired and forlorn (one legged) witches,
or
possibly cowboys
(in drag) are levitating above a Linoleum Floor.
...fucking levitating dude.

Pain, ecstasy, fear, a quiet maternal love. These are the things I feel.

Civic: Sophisticated Couple

Vicki and I scouted in Civic during the winter break. It was nice for a change of scenery (not that we don't love you, ANU kids!). I just love this couple's matching hats, and that Chanel bag!! We weren't sure whether they were a couple or not when we first approached them, but don't they look great together?

UniStyle: Spanish Sense, ANU

Sophia and I were out and moaning about grey-toned clothes in winter. They are OK but not so much fun for photos. Then we spied this gentleman and we had to go bother him in the library:


We tried to express our love but he was Spanish and didn't understand our fangirl English. I have a theory - wellllll really, lets call it an unfounded stereotype based on a handful of people I know- that Spanish people wear the craziest things but make them look so normal. Like, a native Canberran could not wear a red-gummi watch, matching headphones, a feminine tablecloth as a scarf, summer shorts but a beanie too, and (though you can't see them) socks that match it all. It's not weird on him but then again it totally is.

Anyway, sorry for frightening you man!

UniStyle: Bow-tie man

I think this is a perfect example of how an already stylish outfit can be made even better with one, well chosen, accessory. Everything here goes together perfectly,from his cardigan (great print!), the crisp (and pristine) white trousers, to his shoes and bag. I think the addition of the bow-tie was a great decision, as it really makes this outfit 'pop'and matches the red in his cardigan and shoes. Delicious.

UniStyle: Mix'n'Match, ANU

When it comes to mid-seasons, layering is the key. It also means you can pull together an ensemble of many colours, textures and styles. I love how boldly coloured these girls are, and how effortlessly they pull it off.
Once again, effortless style. You can't see very well in this photo, but he was wearing pink frames.

*Also: I know we've been taking lots of ANU campus shots, but we are planning to scout around other areas in the near future. As soon as we develop some more skills and make some business cards, so dear Vicki can stop hand-writing our webaddress in her depleting notepad. Any places you can recommend for us to scout?

UniStyle: Bright Kids, ANU

Capital Style is here to brighten up your life with some colourful ladies...

The orange headband is such a great touch.

Red stockings? Red shoes?? Impossible! Triangle cat is pleased with such brave colours.

The Launch

Welcome to Capital Style, guys - a street blog about Canberra and the fashion she spawns. On a grey Canberran auwintertumn day we took some photos of how we like looking. We've seen you around, Canberra, and the three of us want to photograph the 340,800 of you and put it on our blog for you and your mum to see.

So, if you spot us on the street: put on your sunglasses, tighten your waist belt, and comb your beards because we love your style, can we feature you on our blog?
