I love fashion, so I'm pretty excited about today's Local List. Leah Yard rounded up all the local fashion brands that will help you infuse your wardrobe with a little more personality. The Vancouver dress code is fine (Blundstones and Lululemon), but sometimes it's nice to show up to a party and actually know which pair of shoes is yours, you know? 

Here's an event where you could sport your new look: the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Free and ticketed events that bring world-class live music to Vancity. We've got a pair of tickets up for grabs to see Brandon Woody late show at The Fox Cabaret - enter to win!*
