Led by two powerhouse women — and sisters — Myriam Maguire and Romy Belzile-Maguire, the Montreal-headquartered company has built a fanbase for its trendy-yet-timeless accessories designs. Leading into the summer season, the company has released a capsule collection of 'vibrant' designs dubbed the Girlfriends Collection. Featuring six footwear styles, the capsule includes wonderfully wearable (and colourful) styles ranging from slingbacks to kitten heels to mules. The shoes are all handmade in Italy or Spain, according to the brand. A standout style in the collection, the Merida Sandal, which features a low block heel and a sparkling, tinsel-like top, are a perfect summer slide.

'We wanted something aspirational, but never out of reach. Just real, genuine moments with people who inspire us — girlfriends hanging out, juxtaposed with the vibrant backdrop of the city. 'Nothing overly polished, just an authentic energy that feels true to Maguire.' The full collection is available online and in stores. The price: From $220.

B.C. Lions vs. Edmonton Elks Live Blog: Snoop Dogg gets the party started
It's our Snoop Dogg Live Blog. We'll be providing updates on the rapper's pre-game concert ahead of the B.C. Lions opener against the Edmonton Elks tonight at B.C. Place . We'll be doing the same with the game, of course. How much we will keep up with the rhyming is to be determined. Mr. Dogg is slated to take to the stage at 5:45 p.m. The Lions and Elks are set to going at 7 p.m. This is the fourth straight year that Lions owner Amar Doman has brought in a marquee musical artist for the opener. OneRepublic, LL Cool J and 50 Cent have performed in the past years. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. A welcome email is on its way. If you don't see it, please check your junk folder. The next issue of Sunrise will soon be in your inbox. Please try again Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. The match-up between B.C. and Edmonton features a duel of Canadian quarterbacks, with Nathan Rourke (born in Victoria, raised in Oakville, Ont.) under centre for the home side and Tre Ford (Niagara Falls) at the controls for the Elks. This is the first time in league history that a Week 1 game has had two starting quarterbacks from Canada. It will be the 12th time since 1950 with a game featuring two Canadian starting quarterbacks. The game also features two rookie head coaches in B.C.'s Buck Pierce and Edmonton's Mark Kilam. The last time two first-year coaches squared off against one another was in 2019, when the Hamillton Tiger-Cats' Orlando Steinauer and Saskatchewan Roughriders ' Craig Dickenson were on the opposites sides. Pierce, 43, was hired in December by new general manager Ryan Rigmaiden. Pierce is a former Lions quarterback and he had been the offensive coordinator of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Lions will draw 50,000 fans for their home opener for the second straight year. The last team to do that was Montreal Alouettes in 1978 and 1979 at Olympic Stadium. Check back here for updates. ☀️ ROOF IS OPEN. Summer vibes locked in. It's gonna be a hot one - bring your shades, hat, and sunscreen. Let's get this party started! #BCLions #RoarAsOne 4:54 p.m. CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston is in the house. 'What Amar is reliving to the fans of Vancouver is spectacular,' Johnston says. 'The investments he's making, the marketing he's putting behind it, the focus on youth and engaging them … I think what's he's done is spark something that had been simmering here for a long time.' We'll have more with Johnston in the coming days.
