The Record

Corydon

2007-04-17T01:51:00.000-07:00

These two young women were soaking up the sun and warmth that has finally penetrated the deep Winnipeg winter...it's springtime! Also, the woman in the striped dress informed me that while in NYC this winter, she was Facehunted. Pan-American streetstyle, way to go!

On Campus - Fun Hair

Pub Study in Black, White &Red

On Campus - The Philosophy Student

University - At the Escalator

I like the hat/dress combination, and the mix of the pendant on the detail of the dress pattern - it matches the buttons, too! This beautiful young woman is a friend of mine, and she always looks great. I'm sure she'll return to Hooks.

New Year's Eve - Winnipeg Art Gallery

2007-01-01T00:57:00.000-08:00

Chicago - O'Hare

2007-01-01T00:56:00.000-08:00

Portland - Hotel Washroom Doors

2007-01-01T00:55:00.000-08:00

These are the doors to the restrooms in a Portland hotel. I loved them so much I decided they deserve a spot in my style blog.

Apology

2007-01-01T00:54:00.000-08:00

First, apologies for the lack of updates. December was a flurry of exams and papers and travel. I hope to be more regular in my posting through the rest of winter and into the spring.

That said, over the holidays I was in Chicago and Portland (OR), and took a few photos, as well as a New Years Party here in Winnipeg.
Best.

Bookstore

2006-11-16T00:51:00.000-08:00

I saw this young woman in the bookstore near school. Apparently there was some "in joke" (which I missed out on) about street-style blogs. She was reading the new issue of Flaunt, and wanted to be photographed "candidly". Is it still candid if it's posed candidly?
I love the shirt - the bow on the front and the buttons on the sleeve. Good fit, simple, elegant.

Taylor - on Campus

2006-11-15T00:51:00.000-08:00

Taylor's style is so casual; he never stands out at the univsersity, until you look close. It's obvious that he pays attention to detail. The unique shirt and matched shoes really make this look complete, but casual and effortless.

A Winnipeg Street Fashion Blog

2006-10-30T09:07:00.000-08:00

My first post - and my first blog.
Following in the tradition of Paris' FaceHunter, Vancouver's The Commodified, and many more, Hooks n' Pegs is a steet-style blog based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I stroll the streets of this northern city, and the halls of my small univerisity, in an attempt to capture orginality, flare, subtlety, and just great style.
I'll try to post a few times a week, but during term-paper season (now) posts may be sporadic - please check back often, though.
