Style Your Way Through The Summer

Just because this summer might look a little different than most of us imagined (okay, a lot different) doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself and give your look a simple, stylish refresh with just a few key staples.

CHECK YOUR HAIR

Desperate times may have seen you reaching for the kitchen scissors or boxed dye—it happens. But summer weather combined with chemical processing and heat styling your hair can leave it in less than ideal condition. Invest in a quality hair mask that can help deep condition your hair and scalp and look for hydrating shampoos and conditioners, available at Sephora.

Need your hair up and out of your face? Swap your hair elastic for a silk scarf or scrunchie from Sephora. These accessories can make a great fashion statement and reduce breakage in your hair. Took it too far in quarantine? There’s no shame in getting some professional help with your hair at Essentials Hair Design. Not only can a pro stylist fix any self-inflicted faux pas, but they can also make product recommendations and ensure you get a fabulous and flattering look.

GET A NEW BLACK DRESS

Summer is a great time to pick up a new dress—especially if you’re lucky enough to snag it on sale. Summer sundresses can be bright and colourful but might we suggest updating your little black dress from Dynamite? A classic for a reason, the LBD never goes out of style. Freshen up this piece by trying a new neckline or hem or opt for a romper or jumpsuit instead. Dress up your LBD with a piece of statement jewellery or go casual with a crisp white pair of tennis shoes for an effortlessly cool and casual vibe.

DON’T FORGET THE KIDS

Take a look through your kids’ clothes before the summer is over and invest in some new basics from Justice like classic tees, denim, and of course, shoes before the pressure is on for a new fall wardrobe. If you’re really feeling family time as of late, you can even rock some matching family tees from The Children’s Place—a cute look for family photos or annual staycations.

DON’T NEGLECT THE HOUSE

You don’t need to think big to give your home a seasonal splash of colour or update. Thanks to Winners, creating a stylish space (especially one we’re all spending so much time in lately) is important. Bring the outdoors inside with a ceramic planter or new glass vase. Take your favourite pics off your Instagram highlights and frame them. Update your throw pillows with some from Hudson’s Bay to make a cozy Netflix and nap spot. Make home the place you want to be—even in the middle of summer.

Wear your sunscreen, stay hydrated, treat yourself, and enjoy the summer—even if it’s right in your own backyard.

Willowbrook, Then And Now

Exciting news is always on the horizon at Willowbrook, but when we first opened our doors in 1979, we didn’t know how far we would come in a matter of 40 years! A community shopping centre that is loved by the people of Langley, Willowbrook has been home to over 130 amazing retailers in the past, with more being added to the mix in the present and future (we can’t wait for BC’s first Nordstrom Rack to open at Willowbrook!).

Accented by an abundance of natural beauty, modern west coast architecture, wood details, outdoor gathering spaces and contemporary landscaping, Willowbrook’s expansion and redevelopment fits seamlessly within the lifestyle-oriented community of Langley.

To celebrate Willowbrook’s vision and commitment to beautifying the growing community of Langley, we have put together a before and after selection of photos that truly encompass how far we have come!

Hungry For The Outdoors

Now that summer has finally arrived in Metro Vancouver (hey, even Mother Nature likes to be fashionably late) we can finally light the BBQ and enjoy the best that picnicking, patios and outdoor dining has to offer.

Start with the essential tools—like the BBQ itself. If you’re looking to upgrade your current set up or get your foot in the grilling game, look no further. This Dyna-Glo propane grill at Hudson’s Bay is sure to keep up with everyone’s appetite with three burners and ample space to cook up burgers, steaks, veggies, and even dessert.

What goes along with a new grill? The gadgets. Stay safe and practical with a heat resistant glove that can protect you up to 930 degrees Fahrenheit. And don’t forget your knife, grill fork, tongs, a spatula, bottle opener, and corkscrew. Did we mention you can get all six in one? Keep your gadget game on point with this grill master multitool and stop worrying about what you’re forgetting.

We might not like to clean the grill, but we do like tools to make it as quick and easy as possible. And we have to admit, a clean grill is pretty nice to look at. Investing in a good brush ensures your grill is ready to use the next time you fire it up and keeps your cooking surface in tip-top shape. How do you clean the grill brush? Pop it in the dishwasher as necessary and thank us later. Get it all at House of Knives.

 

If the grill is looking good, shouldn’t the griller, too? Spruce up your summer wardrobe with bright colours, seasonal patterns, and light fabrics to keep you equal parts cool and chic. Skip the shorts and tank combo and reach for a flowy maxi dress or wide-leg jumpsuit from Le Chateau to elevate your look. Top it off with a wide brim hat or woven sun visor from Urban Planet to keep the sun out of your face and eliminate the need for a fancy hairdo.

 

 

They say when the sun goes down, it gets hotter. But if you’re like the rest of us you might be ready for a cozy plush blanket from QE Home that you can wrap up in, and if you’re really lucky, snuggle up under with a hot date.

Whether you’re the hostess with the mostest or a lucky invited guest, you’re sure to impress and make memories at your next BBQ.

Why Camp When You Can Glamp?

If the idea of camping makes you think of mosquito bites, sunburns, and family fights trying to pitch a tent you’re not alone. Camping may not be for everyone but with a few essentials and slight upgrades you can glamp (glamorous camping) comfortably. We put together a list to help you save time so you can pack your glamping go-to bag quickly and get ready to hit the beach, park, or patio of your favourite re-opened restaurant.

GET A CUTE BAG

Who doesn’t love a hands-free option to carry all your stuff? Show off your maple leaf pride just in time for the long weekend with a cute Canadian drawstring bag from Hudson’s Bay.

[bjzm_gallery id=”1″]

Don’t know how to pack light? Don’t worry about it. A simple tote from Hudson’s Bay is all you need to hold all your stuff. And we mean all your stuff.

[bjzm_gallery id=”2″]

BE READY FOR ON-THE-GO TOUCH-UPS

Sephora goodies, galore! Tans are great but may we suggest some sunscreen? Even if you manage to score a comfy seat in the shade, you still need an SPF. Reach for a lightweight, hydrating, silky sunscreen and remember to reapply. Trust us, your skin will thank you.

[bjzm_gallery id=”3″]

Okay so, it’s possible you might break a nail while on your glamping adventure but don’t fret. A glass nail file is all you need to touch up your mani between spa appointments. The benefits of glass files are huge not to mention they last forever! And who wouldn’t want a cute floral set?!

[bjzm_gallery id=”4″]

Protect and polish your pout. Stay fabulous and selfie-ready with a bright lip stain that offers the benefits of a balm with pop of colour that screams summer.

[bjzm_gallery id=”5″]

Got a little sweaty? It happens. Wipe the day away and freshen up with a soothing coconut water wipe. This purse pack is just what you need to stay fresh and smell great.

[bjzm_gallery id=”6″]

HAVE A DRINK

How do you make the great outdoors even greater? Cocktails. That’s right. Shake up a martini, keep the wine cool, and sip slowly on your favourite adult beverages. Be an environmentally friendly glamper with reusable straws from House of Knives. Snag an adjustable ready-to-go set (meaning it’s the perfect size no matter what chic glass you’re sipping from) that packs down into a compact case—perfect for on the go!

[bjzm_gallery id=”7″]

No one wants a warm drink. Keep those bevvies cold with their own chic cooler bag from Hudson’s Bay. As a bonus, the more you drink, the lighter it is to carry.

[bjzm_gallery id=”8″]

No matter where you’re spending your long weekend and how adventurous you get, we know you’ll be prepared and stylish, from start to finish.
