This week on the Style Collective: One of our favourite Canadian stores opens in the Big Apple, we learn the scoop on mineral sunscreen, the perfect picnic sandwich served up in a bread bowl, and more!


Beauty Editor gives a totally un-preachy explanation of why you should wear sunscreen and just why mineral sunscreen is the way to go. Not sure what to look for? She also rounds up some of the best you'll find on shelves.


We're loving Aritzia's giant new digs in Manhattan. Coco & Lowe have pictures of the new 2 floor, 10,000-square-foot boutique located in trendy Soho—we can't wait to check it out on our next trip to New York.


We're kind of (okay, really) jealous of I Want - I Got's newest get. Her Prada Minimal Baroque sunglasses are so artful and beautiful, calling them sunglasses seems like a bit of an understatement.


We've been lusting after a Cambridge Satchel for some time, and seeing I'm The It Girl write about her love for these scholarly-chic bags is giving us just the nudge we needed. Now, to choose a colour...


Our other favourite bag these days is the one we stuff all our food in, along with wine and a blanket, to take to the park. Sweet Potato Chronicles has a yummy chicken salad sandwich recipe served in a bread bowl that we can't wait to try—how great would it be for a bridal/baby shower luncheon as well?


If outdoor entertaining is on your mind, At Home With Kim Vallée has the blueprint for hosting a movie night in your backyard, complete with caramel popcorn and Red Vines.


Looking to get out of your backyard and on to the open road? How amazing is this camping trailer on Gifted—it's easily pulled by even the most compact of cars and packs down to a weather tight box to stow all your stuff.

What kind of summer entertaining are you doing this weekend?
