I chose this awesome collage of the boho-chic Nicole Richie sporting the ever so popular maxi dress for this week’s Get the Look. A maxi dress in a fun print, such as floral, is a great way to achieve an elegant, chic look for daytime. Paired with flat gladiator sandals, you will be looking like a summer goddess! Romantic and flowy, maxi dresses are the hit of the summer season!
Here are some great picks:

Okay okay, Olivia Palermo is the annoying socialite on MTV’s The City, who can’t seem to get fired from Elle Magazine week after week (Maybe next episode?) But, you’ve got to admit, she has killer style. I chose this photo for the “Get the Look” this week to get inspired for the summer season that officially began on June 21st. From Olivia’s ensemble, I’m switching out her black pumps for some great day-appropriate sandals to get the most out of this look. A floral sundress, fashionable yet comfortable sandals, and a cardigan in a bright colour for when it gets chilly? This outfit couldn’t be more perfect for summer!

Aerosol sprays, chemicals, added perfumes. They’re all too common these days, but many of us are becoming more conscious of our consumption patterns. There are companies nowadays that offer more sustainable products– Aveda being one of them. Aveda has been the lead in setting an industry standard for skin, cosmetic, hair, and perfume products designed for consumers with a conscience. They even created an aerosol hairspray that has zero impact on the environment! But more than that, with Aveda you know that the products you’re using aren’t full of chemical crap. The natural way is the safer and healthier way (and if you’re a Vancouverite, you know how much emphasis we place on that!) Switch to Aveda. Stay beautiful and let the earth too!
