As a Canadian, it's hard not to be sick of the tacky Canada Day swag available at this and that department store. Red and white are classic colours that somehow turn tacky around Canada Day. Sure, it's fun to sport a red and white jester hat once a year, but where are the more mature options? I know I can't be alone in my envy of the beautiful designs that come out of the American colours...(especially this one at Style Me Pretty, or this one at Pizzazzerie... love it!)

This Canada Day, why not think outside the box? Ditch the kitsch! Celebrate Canada in style.
