WeSC: The Superlative Union

WeSC (We are the Superlative Conspiracy) is based out of Sweden. My favorite part about it is the quality and the fit. You can always expect a lot of colours and for their product to sell quickly! It is supported by graphic artists, athletes and musicians. It is very popular among all ages, especially within Saskatoon. The look book for Fall has a wedding theme where you can have a quick glance at what the models are sporting.

Just a Taste: Yip Hong

One of my favorite things to do on a Sunday morning is to go yum cha with the family. This time we went to Yip Hong's and it was quite busy. I realized that the Asian people were all crowded up at 10:30-11 am, while all of the Canadian folks were just beginning to show up at that 12 o'clock lunch time mark. Yum cha generally ends around 12:30-1, so if you are interested try to show up a bit earlier. Yip Hong's is like most Asian restaurants, non modernized decor but excellent food. As of now, I would say that it is the most popular restaurant in the city for authentic Chinese dishes.

It was pretty delicious, the only thing that disappointed me today was the selection. I felt like the same dishes were being brought around, there were a lot of foods that we weren't offered. We still managed to enjoy ourselves by eating rice noodles, spare ribs, taro root and mango pudding with condensed milk just to name a few things. If you are willing to try eating something like this, I would recommend Yip Hong or the Mandarin.

Wicked Games cover

"Béatrice Martin, better known as Cœur de Pirate, is something for the masses. Her self-titled debut album released in 2008 and took the francophone world by storm. With an origin of Quebec, she sings most of her songs in french, however from experience even if you don’t speak french you will enjoy her album. The video above is Cœur de Pirate’s rendition of Wicked Games from the ever popular Toronto musician, the Weeknd." -The Informants

Adidas x Ransom

Ransom is holding it down in the Great White North. The on going collaboration never seems to fail. The collection is expected to release this fall at select accounts. It just so happens that over at Momentum on 8th Street. That's besides the point though, the reason why I am doing this post is not to focus on the product but to rather to talk about the advertisement.

Every single shot is brilliant. No matter what piece of footwear they are shooting, they can make every shoe look good. With their outdoors/nature feel, they continue to murder look books on top of making quality footwear. Yes, some of the products are basic, but don't the photos make you want to purchase them or at least try them on? This one beneath is definitely my favorite but there are tons to choose from. I can just say that if I ever did a look book (which I hopefully will), this would be my inspiration.

Love the North,
