Summer is finally here and events are occurring every weekend. Jeans, flip flops and T-shirts are great for sun baked street festivals. But events like Dîner en Blanc, the Deighton Cup and Rouge & Blanc are just as fun but require some planning and shopping. But don’t let glamorous events discourage you from attending.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sunan and I decided to team-up to give you a few ideas for upcoming summer events.  We dressed Robina, Kristina and Hazeltine in Sunan’s City Lux Vancouver, Herve Leger style bandage dresses. We picked silver strappy Aldo sandals for Robina and Hazeltine and gold strappy Aldo sandals for Kristina. Aldo has matching clutches (not shown). White strappy heels are another option.
 
Dominique Hanke’s Hive Mind Millinery is locally based. Many varieties of horse racing hat options exist but a wide, stiff brimmed hat or a pillbox hat with netting are a couple elegant choices.
 
Robina’s gloves were bought at Claire’s but they can also be found at vintage boutiques or rented from costume shops.
 
The cost of the dress and heels shown range from the mid to high $200s. When creating your look remember to edit, edit, edit! Challenge yourself before adding extra pieces.
 
Robina  has a legal background and is a Custom Cake Designer.
Kristina  is a yoga teacher and an Actress.
Hazeltine  is an Actress and is pursuing an Event Planning career.
Sunan  can be reached on Instagram at CityLuxVancouver for fittings and dress orders.
 
Several of these images were featured in the Community section of the Asian Pacific Post newspaper.
