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.

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.
