It's easy to get wrapped up in what's trendy and happening across the boarder, or even across the ocean when you're in Canada. It seems like European and American retailers are always on the tip of my tongue, and thats not for a lack of homegrown talent. Canada has created some stellar brands and today, I want to share some of my handpicked favourites! What better way to celebrate Canada Day then by supporting Canadian talent!
Malika Rajani
Calgary - based Malika creates some seriously badass pieces. The designs strike a perfect balance between contemporary and timeless. She's perfected the classic leather Moto jacket but for the more adventurous has modern leather culottes and basket weave crop tops that'll ensure you stand out in a crowd. Her line is also created in collaboration with local artisans and strives to preserve the heritage of the small local communities she works with. I'm obsessed with everything she creates, particularly this military green leather basket weave crop top!

There's something incredibly playful yet clean about Eliza Faulkner's designs. Her outfits are eye-catching yet simplistic, and I am swooning over this Montreal based brand! The S/S 17 collection is bursting with Gingham and the latest trends like bell sleeves and off the shoulder blouses! This is the perfect brand for the West Coast minimalist who isn't afraid to play with pattern!

Montreal's Maram brings whimsy to your closet with her mythical designs. The collection is what bohemian dreams are made of with flow-y blouses, long airy dresses, and earthy tones! Maram's designs are refined yet daring, and there are definitely some stand out pieces! My favourite has to be this Off-The-Shoulder Ruffle Crop Top!

Made with food grade ingredients it's no secret that Canada's very own BITE Beauty is making waves on the makeup scene. These lipsticks are amazing, I even have a custom shade I created at the BITE Lab in SOHO NYC! If you love makeup keep your eyes glued to BITE's social media as we all await the heavily anticipated drop of their new Liquid lipsticks!

It's no secret that I'm proud of my Canadian Heritage, and its easy to see why! There's a lot we have to be proud of as Canadian's, including the amazing brands.
