On the Street. Walking the Dog, Lauttasaari, Helsinki

 

 

A bit of a delay in posting street style first time this year. But, after winter all snow has gone and there is more light. Maybe that is why I noticed this couple human / best dog friend walking past my window. Spring is right here. A bit cold, but anyway.

On the Street. Walk the Australian Silky Terrier, Laru, Helsinki.

We have earlier discussed here at Flash For Zonzon about the similarity that dogs and their owners have. Recently I have spotted new candidates to this dog and his best friend -series. This lady with her Australian Silky Terrier form a lovely pair. The colour harmony is perfect and they are both tiny and – erm – silky.

On the Street. Dog Walking Vest, Ruoholahti, Helsinki.

I love plaid fabrics. From the bus window I spotted an interesting sight. Long cloak-like garment in plaid on the girl who was walking the dog. It looked like a plaid blanket in the form of long vest. But instead of being a blanket, there were handy zipper pockets for all the essentials needed on the dog walk. Like the dog treats, dog poop bag, telephone for selfies…

I’m not a dog owner and haven’t had a dog neither. But an outer clothing like this could be really handy. Convenient enough pull it on over everyday jacket. Like leather jacket in this case. Street credible nice form and function. Ready to serve a dog owner’s new adventures.

I think they suit very well to each other.
This was a month with dogs and their mates. Let's see what we get next month.

On the street. Dog-like Style, Lauttasaari, Helsinki.

Here we have another dog inspired style that I mentioned two posts ago. I mean the trend with dog owners, that they often look alike their pets. I was like wow, when met this trio. The form of hourglass and trumpet legs is repeated in these wonderful Afghan Greyhounds and their hostess not to mention the coloring. 

By the way, down jacket is the most sensible coat you can have in wintertime in these northern areas. It is like walking in the cozy sleeping bag, lightweight and warm. I have noticed that many women have belted their waist while wearing down jackets. Apparently though in order not to look like sleeping bag.

Once in awhile I am meeting this couple in my home street. Be it summer or winter they are always in perfect harmony with their colors. I have noticed that it is quite general that dog owners somehow look alike their pets. I have already another example in my mind. I'll draw it other day. Stay tuned.

One day. Walking a dog, Kamppi, Helsinki.

Last week I was watching the wet city from a bus window. I got my eye on this funny white dog against all grey of the moment. Huge bright green umbrella followed this fellow. With this picture I could also make happy my six-year daughter. She has constantly asked me: Why don't you draw somebody with a dog?
