Find Peace and Tranquility at Downward Dog Yoga
No matter how annoying, upsetting or just plain boring things get, we can always count on yoga to make everything better. It grounds us. It makes us see beauty in the ordinary, find excitement in stillness and meaning in our breath. But, not all yoga classes were created equal.
Over the years, we’ve had the most calming and powerful yoga experiences at Downward Dog Yoga. In addition to being socially conscious and community driven, they have A LOT going on! This summer, we can’t wait to try out their Mysore program, aaaand, we’re even thinking about enrolling in Teacher Training later in the year to take our practice even further!
Our Summer Lovin’ winner will experience the magic of Downward Dog Yoga for themselves with a complimentary 10 class pass!
$100 LOFT Gift Card
Summer days are great, but summer nights are even better! Backyard BBQs, cozy fire pits with roasting marshmallows, long walks on the beach after sunset…yes please! And, we know exactly how to look cute and stay comfy during those magical but chilly Toronto evenings.
LOFT’s latest collection is designed with transitional dressing in mind. It’s the perfect way to integrate layers and rich, fall colours into your summer wardrobe while keeping your look fun, fresh and effortless!
We’re especially coveting the sweatshirt-inspired dresses and jackets which will look great with EVERYTHING you own and go on to become your fall staples. But don’t worry, you’ll always have those SU-UMMER NIIIIIIIGHTS (Tell me more, tell me more…).

Alex Colville at the AGO
What’s on your summer bucket list? On ours: checking out the Alex Colville exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario! Opening on August 23rd, Alex Colville is the largest exhibition of the Canadian painter’s work ever held, featuring over 100 paintings.
Visitors will explore Colville’s breadth and significance through thematic pairings with the work of notable figures from pop culture – some of whom have been directly inspired by Colville – including filmmakers Sarah Polley, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson and the Coen Brothers; artists Itee Pootoogook and Mary Pratt; and acclaimed author Alice Munro, among others.
We couldn’t think of a lovelier way to spend an afternoon, so we’re gifting our lucky winner passes to the AGO and a gift certificate to shopAGO!
Win 3 Gorgeous Pieces From Jenny Bird
We’ve been coveting Jenny Bird jewellery since we laid eyes on her very first collection in 2009. Now, the Toronto-based designer’s line is carried in over 600 specialty boutiques and 11 countries, and her beautiful creations occupy the wrists, neck and fingers of Toronto’s most stylish women and even Hollywood celebs!
Imagined for an uptown dolly with a boho-spirited, downtown ‘tude, Jenny Bird’s Summer Collection is STUNNING and very wearable. Our lucky winner will receive the Summer 14 Essential Stacking Set, which includes the Moonsong Cuff, Hustle n Flow Bracelet and the Luna Pass Palm Cuff. Amazing, right?
Kiss Sensitive Skin Goodbye with NIVEA
As much as we love the sun, hours of beach bumming and park hanging have left our skin feeling sensitive and dry. NIVEA to the rescue! With three new products aimed to tackle symptoms of irritable, sensitive skin (Sensitive Day Care, Sensitive Night Care and Sensitive 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Water), our skin has never felt better! Harsh summer rays, chilly winds and rain—we’re no longer afraid of you. With NIVEA, there’s no fight our skin can’t win!
We’re Obsessed with PUMA’s Newest Collaboration with McQ
What do you get when PUMA collaborates with McQ? A collection of sports wear that we want to live in ALL summer long! Permeated by prints and silhouettes inspired by the human anatomy like ribcages and tendons, the pieces pay homage to Alexander McQueen’s dark and rebellious sensibility in a way that makes our hearts happy. Upping the cool factor even more is the contrast between Sarah Burton’s gothic styling and PUMA’s contemporary fabrications, which makes each item equally unique and wearable.
Our grand slam winner will receive the most PERFECT pair of sneakers that we’ve ever laid eyes on; they’re seriously amazing. But, then again, we what else could we expect from the union of two of the most innovative and iconic brands in the world?
