good lookin' bunch. probably the best series I've seen in the sense that the worst thing up there is the guy in the bow tie, whereas there is normally a few major complete misses otherwise.

I thought people who worked in advertising agencies were supposed to be cool and good-looking. Boring, not cute, etc.

Hey Darren, favourite item refers to something you're wearing in the photo? Isn't that obvious?

Worst and most pointless Street Style in months, if not ever.

Tired of seeing people in bow-ties smuggly posing like they are so ahead of the game with their "classic quirky" style. These people are so far behind they think their first. That has to be the most over-done, un-orginal, and un-interesting look at this point. Congratulations on being a 2006 trend-setter in 2011.

Maybe they have the Old Navy account and get free clothes from them. That could explain everything we are seeing here.

What are all of you wearing right now? I'll bet you're all sitting at home in stained sweatpants. Get down off your high horses.

forget the clothes, this party looks like it's being held in a dungeon with sewage waste all over the floor.

I have to say that I love everything about blogto, except all the e-bullies. Really, its terribly annoying and you turn what should be a mature and fun site into something comparable to the comments on youtube. Grow up, enjoy peoples individuality, accept their differences, and move on, you dont HAVE to talk sh!t about everyone and everything, but thats just my 2 cents....carry on.

oh, sorry forgot to add...these people are out for a good time, im sure they had no idea they were going to be photographed and rated on a website before they decided on what they were going to wear.....im done

My two cents is that when you very obviously request Blog TO to come to your party to take pictures that prove how much more fashionable and cutting edge you are than the rest of the planet, you're opening yourself up for ridicule should your style not deliver. Real Street Style blogs are just that. Fantastic style spotted on the street, unsolicited. This feature is becoming a PR vehicle and it bugs me.

Why all the harsh criticism over what people were wearing to a party. Like Roberto said, obviously no one came to this party expecting to be rated on what they were wearing. As well, remember that the night of this party the temperature was in the high 30s. Not everyone feels the need to earn their street cred by overdressing to the point of heat exhaustion

I'm not sure why you feel you have some inside knowledge how editorial decisions are made at blogTO. As the Publisher of the site, I can assure you that nobody contacted us to request that we do a Street Style feature of this party. We were sent an invite to the party but there was no request for coverage and no mention of Street Style.

If these assholes didn't want to be judged on their clothing, they wouldn't look like this. What you mean to say is that they didn't expect people to think they are douche bags because they are naïve in their senses of fashion.

Oh noes, e-bullies! Someone call the cyber police or the consequences will never be the same!

Is it really that hard to find a photographer with an interest in fashion? It is obvious that Jesse has no interest in this kind of feature, but surely there is someone in Toronto who could bring some enthusiasm to it?

You should do it, Rob! You'd be great at it!

"Robert! Robert!" Come on, everybody, "Robert! Robert!"

@Stephen

Maybe some people just PREFER bowties? Why does everything have to be a conscious trend-setting decision? Do you wear t-shirts because they're "in style"? I bet you overthink every peice of clothing you put on in the morning because something may make you seem "too quirky" or "so 2006". Get over yourself.

For a blog with a real eye for street style, I'd encourage you to check out TorontoVerve.

With all due respect, an invite was sent to a blog that features exactly the things you said werent mentioned - thats because its implied. Lest you think they just want to hang out because they think youre just a bunch of cool people - and im sure you are. Acting naive to the whole game is a little weak though... so what, corporate eventgoers want their party to feel important, just acknowledge it and slap up a new feature called Event/Party style and acquiesce to the whiners who are stuck on the word 'street' when they dont see actual pavement in the photos.

We get sent invites to events all the time, most of which we either don't attend or don't cover. Either way, shooting Street Style at this party certainly doesn't represent a wave of ad creep on the site no matter how you slice it. If you look through the history of Street Style posts on the site you'll notice that we like to shoot them at parties once in while. Not only does it mix things up a bit but it's a lot quicker and easier than spending hours getting rejected at the corner of Yonge and Bloor.
