SHOPS & SERVICES Bespoke Bling Personalized gifts just got a little easier, thanks to Links of London (page 43). The iconic British brand recently opened a boutique in Pacific Centre, and the new store is all about cus- tomization. Design a Sweetie bracelet by selecting the charms, precious metals, and diamond and gemstone ron- delles. Mix colours and styles at the Friendship Bracelet Bar. Or make any piece unique with a visit to the Engraving & Customization Bar. Who knew thoughtful gifts could be so simple to find?—Sheri Radford Stylish & Sustainable Searching for swimwear that’s as easy on the eyes as it is on the ocean? Then dive in with Canadian brand The Saltwater Collective (www.thesaltwater collective.com). These figure-flattering suits make a splash, thanks to eco-friendly fabrics woven from nylon waste like discarded fishing nets. Shop online or at Zebraclub (page 38).—Jill Von Sprecken Happy Feet Need to keep kiddos happy while you’re trekking around town? Tuck their tiny tootsies into Little Miss and Mr. Men footwear from Native Shoes (page 42). Characters like Mr. Happy, Little Miss Sunshine and the enthusiastic yet clumsy Mr. Bump adorn vegan kicks that are as comfy as they are cute. These styles are for wee ones, but grown-ups have no reason to get grumpy: adult options range from bright prints to golden glitter, so there’s something for kids of all ages.—Chloë Lai 30 where.ca J u ly 2 0 1 8
