June 2014 | Style | What we're excited about
1. Anything nautical
One of the many things we love about summer is dressing for a weekend at the beach or cottage. Work some bold stripes, navy blue and bright red into your wardrobe, and look for seaside-ready pieces like a colourful windbreaker or French-girl tee. No boat required.
Jacket, $128, Loft. T-shirt, $16, Joe Fresh. Shorts, $118, J.Crew.
2. Sunblock to go
This all-natural powder combines the tried-and-true sun protection of a mineral, zinc oxide, with skin-loving vitamins A and E. It’s easy to apply and fits in your purse, so there’s really no excuse not to use it!
Éminence Sun Defense Minerals Powder in Translucent, $58.
3. Silky skin
Believe us, this is a summer must-have. Nourishing almond oil makes your skin feel like velvet, and we can’t even begin to describe how absolutely addictive the scent is.
L’Occitane Supple Skin Oil, $52.
4. Gold accessories
There’s nothing like a touch of gold to flatter sun-kissed skin. Look for delicate pieces like this eye-catching lacy metal cuff.
Cuff, $104, Stella & Dot.
5. Classic kicks
These well-loved sneakers have been re-designed in keeping with their ’70s heritage. Look for a superior quality of canvas, added cushioning and vintage design details.
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 shoes, from $80, Converse.
