still life received our happiest, smile-enducing, good cheer delivery of the season today with the native shoes summer 2011 delivery of NATIVE KIDS SHOES! native is the cure for an uneventful day. children, like native, are the future. toy with style - slip them on and watch kids smile's grow. cushy, candy-coloured feet sweeteners.

the good hearts over at vancouver's native shoes recently donated shoes to an organization that specializes in delivering footwear to children in need called shuzz. native shoes were distributed to children in port au prince, haiti which was devastated by a 7.0 earthquake in 2010. still life is hoping to bring some of that good cheer native spread to children around the world, by introducing our favourite native shoes in children's sizing this summer:

• the miller (available in hollywood pink, lemonade yellow and jiffy black) is so sweet it has style to spare. referencing the classic vans era this ultra light slip on is perfect for our native kids kicking soccer balls, splashing in puddles or playing in the sand.
• the jefferson (available in confetti purple, lemonade yellow, regatta blue and torch red) will free our native kids feet all summer long! inspired by the legendary converse chuck taylor all-star, our kids will be helping with backyard barbecues, camping by the lake and chasing cats & dogs for months!

come by this weekend to get first dibs on our limited quantities of ultra-cute native kids shoes and check out some new additional colour-ways of native shoes for grown ups. and see what kids think about these candy coloured feet sweeteners in the video below.

every generation of scandinavian youth have worn the fjällräven kånken daypack since it debuted in 1978. the classic design is the same today as back then and remains just as popular. for school, day trips, or biking to work the kånken makes a lifelong companion for kids and adults. we've just received stock in these legendary, durable, colour-coordinated retro backpacks at still life for spring/summer. lots of new spring 2011 colours in classic kånken sizing, as well as ultra cute kånken minis for the kids!

for serious travel & outdoor adventures, we've also received units of the vintage 20L backpack from the legendary swedish outdoor company. a retro top-loading design with a modern carrying back-panel of mesh keeping the load stable and your back comfortably dry. the vintage 20L backpack is made from hardwearing waxed g-1000 fabric with real leather straps.

preparing our friends & family for the spring/summer victoria camping season, still life has received our first shipment of fjällräven shirting for the men. the fjällräven tamboti is a short-sleeve shirt with slim design and fit. easy-to-care-for, cool bamboo blend with natural resistance to bad odours - practical for travelling when you might not be able to do laundry very often. attractive yoke with ventilation opening in the back. hidden zippered vertical breast pocket and safety pocket in the side seam. the fjällräven björn is a long-sleeve functional shirt in quick-drying and easy-to-care-for cotton blend that keeps its shape even after a sweaty day out hiking. two breast pockets with a discreet zipper to safely store small items you want to have close at hand. sleeve button to hold the rolled-up sleeves in place. comfort fit. light UV protection, UPF 15.

lastly, we're thrilled at the return of a full case of fjällräven greenland wax (made from paraffin and bees wax) to still life. the high-strength, environmentally friendly waterproofing agent is used in all offjällräven's G-1000 products. with the help of the greenland wax you can easily impregnate your G-1000 (or any other woven garments) clothing yourself, thereby improving the impregnation and defending the garments against our wet westcoast weather. watch below as jordan shows you how to easily wax a jacket with the greenland wax.
