The summer my parents sent me to fat camp, my activities were calorie counting and endless exercise

As a 13-year-old in the early 1970s, Canadian writer Moira Dann was sent by her parents to Camp Stanley, a 'fat camp' in the Catskills where strict diet and exercise regimens were inflicted on children. Her book, ' Fat Camp Summer: Advice I Would Have Given My Parents,' describes her experiences there —weekly weigh-ins, exhausting workouts and directives to wear a brassiere to bed— and reflects on the enduring impact of diet culture. I never thought my entire life could be stuffed in a duffel bag. But when you're shipped off—or rather taken there in an early-seventies model Oldsmobile—to a camp in the Catskills, that's a given.

What you should know: With the fall fashion season on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about swapping your go-to summer sandals for something a little more, well, enclosed. Vancouver-headquartered fashion brand Aritzia has presented the perfect fall footwear option via its new collaboration with Sperry. The Sperry x Aritzia launch sees the cool-girl Canadian clothing and accessories brand partner with the iconic boat shoes brand for a collegiate footwear release that also features a little quirk. Available in women's shoe sizes five to 11, the limited-edition collection includes two styles — the Authentic Original Boat Shoe and the Slim Boat Shoe. Both styles are available in smooth or suede leather and a few select hues. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. What really kicks up the fun with this footwear collaboration are the details added to the timeless styles. Both versions feature fun, fashion accoutrements: colourful laces that can be swapped out for a tonal leather string for a more classic, or less colourful, approach. The leather shoes feature Aritzia on the tongue and the Sperry logo at the heel for a co-branded feel. While fairly straightforward in design, these shoes really shine with fashion-forward styling: Think Miu Miu inspired. We love the Original Boat Shoe paired with a ribbed sock for a preppy vibe. Or the Slim Boat style, which has more of a moccasin silhouette, with a skirt or shorts. The footwear launch has us daydreaming about the shift toward fall fashion. See you later, summer. The price: $130. The retailer:Aritzia. Vancouver Whitecaps Sports Local News News PWHL
