Capsule wardrobe dream goals! Made from Tencel Lyocell, you'll look and keep your cool all summer long! Ethically made in Toronto. encircled.ca
Suunday
Weekend Midi
A great dress demands two things: quality fabrication and deep pockets (obvi!), and The Weekend Midi from Suunday has got both! Made in LA from ultra-soft gauze, this lightweight and timeless addition to any minimal wardrobe will keep you cool all summer long! Pair it with strappy sandals or killer booties, layer it over leggings, or toss a cozy cardi on top. The possibilities are about as endless as what you may discover in those deep pockets! suunday.com

Gus Sloan
Little Black Jumpsuit
What’s not to love about a business owner who’s also an advocate for body confidence? Breaking the mould of what a woman’s body should be, Lauren created the LBJ (Little Black Jumpsuit) that’s designed for every body’s curves! Made from gorgeous midweight knit in Alberta, Canada, Gus Sloan also offers made-to-measure LBJs, which is a thing of beauty! gussloan.com
Kotn
Essential crew-neck tee
This basic tee is anything but boring. Kotn’s essential crew is decidedly boxy which makes it structured enough to layer under a blazer, and comfy enough to throw on with a pair of sweats. Made from 100% long staple Egyptian cotton obtained through direct trade with local farmers, Kotn also has a five-year plan to help those farmers achieve organic accreditation (how cool is that?). kotn.com
Leafii
Cross-body purse
This cross-body purse is made from leaf leather. Yup, you read that right: leaf leather! Leafii crafts gorgeous bags and wallets from sustainable teak leaves. These incredibly unique works of art are as beautiful as they are functional! Soft and pliable, yet as durable as leather (without the need to condition!), we’d definitely call that unbe-leaf-able! leafii.ca
