Summer sure had a slow start in Vancouver, but I’m hopeful that, by the time this issue of VITA drops, the best season of the year (in my opinion) will be in full swing! That said, our pages are packed with content to make July and August the best they can be, from cool Canadian brands to fresh and fruit-forward beauty products to what is being referred to as “dopamine dressing” (infusing your OOTD with colour to boost your mood). We’ve also got wine-and-food-pairing advice from a pro, hot-weather grooming tips, beachy décor inspo and info on the can’t-miss shopping event of the year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’ll be hitting the store July 15 to 31 to top up my summer wardrobe!
