CELEBRATE CANADA DAY IN STYLE
There aren’t many retailers who are letting Canada’s 150th birthday pass by without releasing a celebratory collection.
From fashion items to fun beauty goodies, there is a whole host of products to pick up this summer to make sure you’re celebrating the country’s big 1-5-0 in style.
Joe Fresh is one such clothing company getting in on the action, releasing a collection of Canada-themed garments (T-shirts, shorts, flip-flops and more) for men, women and children. The range is available in stores and online now and retails for $7-$29.
Looking for a more glamorous way to fete Canada? Consider picking up a few beauty items from Kiss’ Canada Day collection.
From the fun (Canada-themed stick-on nails) to the, well, kitsch (Canada flag-printed false eyelashes), the collection serves up a wearable dose of Canadiana for the long weekend ahead. The release ranges in price from $4.97-$8.97 and is available at Walmart stores nationwide.

PYRRHA GETS INTO THE GOLD GAME
Vancouver-based jewelry company Pyrrha is going gold with its latest collection.
Dubbed the 14-Karat Collection, the release sees the brand’s classic line of antique-wax, seal-inspired pieces released in, yes, you guessed it, 14-karat gold.
“We created the new gold collection to appeal to the customer who is looking for something very distinctive, that challenges the norm,” said designer Wade Papin, in a news release. “They want jewelry that stands out. Something with significance that inspires and tells a story.”
The release includes rings, necklaces, bracelets and more, many crafted with “hand-selected, semi-precious stones” as accents, including sapphires and rubies.
The 14-Karat Collection is available online at pyrrha.com, with talisman necklaces starting at $152.
