Nikki is beautiful, such a darling smile. Is she single and looking? Tell her there's a boy here waiting for her.

Nothing wrong with Julian's 'thrown together' style per se - I like the individual pieces (except for the hat) - and while he looks like a bigger dude, his look will definitely benefited from a better fit. Jaan's the best of the dudes - great fit and look. Oh and I'm all for the rolled-up jeans look but luke's jeans are rolled up too high.

Jaan is the only good one out of the guys. Luke's jean roll is too high and looks affected. Joseph needs to lose the tie, plus the cardigan fit is questionable and the shoes are terrible, why are you wearing slip ons with a button down shirt and a tie? Julian looks like a normal dude, at least he isn't trying too hard.

Joseph's look is just akward, those clothes don't go together (especially those shoes), the materials do NOT contrast well, and fit isn't the greatest. Luke is almost there, but the bag is too bulky, and what he's done with the jeans doesn't look right (rolling up too high). The belt, the shirt, and the bag compete too much with each other for attention. Jaan looks the best, not just out of the guys. The only problem is the shirt, but it probably isn't bad and may just be the photo.

If you read this Kim, where did you get your shoes? It's difficult to find stylish, eco-friendly foot wear.

Nat looks like the most annoying person ever.

Loving Jaan's outfit, and hoping it gets cooler soon. Also, I decree that all hater commenters show a picture of their outfits, or prove that they live in Picton, ON, or Alberta.

I love Joseph's look. I agree it is defnelty casual yet classy. He looks very comfortble in what he's wearing. A cotton fitted cardigan is perfect for just walking around in the city, and with a cardigan like that it is easy to dress it up or down. Go Joe =) | love kim andn nat's shirts. I also love how Pink kiss's sneakers matches with her belt!

oh man i don't believe it, even s/he luke looks ok. another great shoot. shit i'm going thru deadly bilious verbiage buildup. and nikki can knock on my door for some market research anytime she likes.

There needs to be a general concensus on what exactly "urban" is. Typically it refers to a look that Pink Kiss shows, not just whatever people in urban areas are wearing. Kim, Jaan, and Luke look fab.

"Joseph's look is just akward, those clothes don't go together (especially those shoes), the materials do NOT contrast well, and fit isn't the greatest." i totally agree, there is a lot of clashing. and his clothes dont fit well

Hey L, Recycled rubber that smells like strawberries? These can only be Melissa shoes. http://www.melissa.com.br/en The site doesn't list stores, from what I can tell, but I've seen them at several shops on Queen as well as one on Roncesvalles. Hope that helps!

To clarify re: 'haters' - obviously, consistent ragging on these style blogs does not reflect poorly on Toronto, but on the bloggers' shoddy eye for style. Nikki is low-key but capital C Cute. The girl with the pseudonym does have sweet shoes but she's wearing leggings and that's the end of that conversation. Joseph's torso looks like it lost a fight with the discount aisle in a Wal-Mart. Luke was so close to great, and then his sleeves, jean-roll and demonic chin growth shove him off the cliff of ugliness. (...or would it be, into the gulf of ugliness?) Jan & Nat ain't perfect, but they've got some stuff goin on. Julian was obviously a joke. 3/8. Hold strong blogto, hold strong.
