The Weekend To-Do: We’re soaking up The xx’s latest album, Moon’s pop-up sale and Western Canada Fashion Week

The final days of summer are fast approaching, and as much as we’re looking forward to breaking out the Oxblood skinnies and fur gloves, that feeling won’t last come January (winter blues anyone?). Take advantage of the final few outdoor happenings going on from food festivals in Vancouver to Toronto’s Queen West Art Crawl. Looking to relax this weekend? The xx’s latest album dropped earlier this week.

The xx, Coexist

The English-trio are back, after a drawn-out 4-year wait, with their sophomore album Coexist: a short albeit superb 38-minutes of pure bliss, including the singles “Angels” and “Chained”. What better way to unwind from the stressful workweek?
