My most recent Roots obsession - the Selina Italian Leather Box Bag ($239.99) I wear it every day (did you know it's pink inside? sigh...)
I can always count on Roots for a hit of pure Canadiana, with its cozy sweaters, easy lounge wear, sumptuous leather handbags and nostalgic finds (Beaver Canoe, anyone?). With the influx of American chains storming our retail scene, I love to see that Roots is constantly growing, evolving and, like a fine VQA, just keeps getting better with age.
It's the last day of RLR's Treat Week and to celebrate, we're giving away a $50 Gift Card to Roots. To win, leave a comment below telling me your what you love most about Canada. (Maple syrup? Hockey? Justin Bieber?) Contest ends at 5 pm today. Good luck to every Canuck! x

I love the vast differences in landscape across the country! From mountains, to prairies, to the good ol' Rock! :)
I love how different Canada is from Coast to Coast! I grew up on the prairies and that experience is completely different to living on the BC Coast or visiting the Maritimes. But no matter where you go the people are wonderful!!!
What I love about Canada is our wonderful healthcare system! If I was in America, I'd be so far in debt with medical bills it would be insane.
We have some of the most breathtaking views in the fall.
My favorite thing about Canada is Canadians. Everyone here is so fun, nice, and down-to-earth. There really aren't better people anywhere.
Definitely hockey!
The space and the land
Coffee Crisp bars! Only in Canada...
The lakes...both summer and winter they provide solace and recreation!
I love that we have two oceans, a desert, the most lakes in the world, tons of rivers, the praries, the mountains (think Rockies), etc and hot weather for summer activities and lots of snow for winter activitites. Where else in the world do you have a land with so much beauty and diversity. I am proud to be a Canadian as we have the freedom to utilize all of our countries natural beauty and diversity.
