Shop Local: Every small purchase makes a big difference.
S ummer is in full swing and I, for one, am HERE FOR IT!! We had a slight hiccup in the beginning (I am not going there) but we are getting a full dose of it now. Pretty sure we’re all gonna hold on tight to any shred of summer right through into early fall. Who’s with me? To say we deserve it, is an understatement! Let's be honest, this summer is a little different. After a heightened few months, we’re taking time to chill. We’re working from home, staycationing and taking every opportunity to soak up what we can of our fave island season. I really let life dictate fashion in this issue. We’re highlighting pieces that work double duty taking you from work to play without a second's hesitation. Cycling to work? We’ve got a denim just for you. Need a little zen on your lunch break? Stylish culottes are the way to go.
Each and every issue is, of course, focused on anything and everything local. I mean it is “PEI” Living afterall. Even more so than others, in this issue I wanted to pose the question to my ever so gracious models “What does 'shop local' mean to you?” Our understanding of the importance of “local” has never been as paramount as it is today. So, what does shop local mean to me? I myself have been an entrepreneur for years. There is a true sense of community built up from hardworking, passionate local entrepreneurs. We truly love what we do and work hard to serve and support our community. The personalized experience you get when you choose local is what sets it apart. I know myself how excited I get each time a client chooses to work with me which always motivates me to do my absolute best. You are doing that for someone each time you shop local, dine local and experience local. When our local entrepreneurs thrive, our entire community thrives.
