SLEEP FLIGHT
Between mini bottles of beauty product, fashion mags and our MacBook, there's little space left in our carry-on.
But for the Lug Nap Sac, we'll make some room.
A
two-in-one travel blanket and pillow, the compact fleece carrying case
(which doubles as a pillowcase) unzips to reveal an inflatable headrest
and a baby soft blanket. Did we men ...

BATTLE OF THE BANDS
Two
neoteric pop imports worth their ticket price take the stage this
Tuesday. Not the same stage to our chagrin—one plays the Commodore, the
other Richard's on Richards—which means you'll have to choose a
chanteuse for the win.
In one corner, wearing neon and weighing in with her beat-heavy brand of French electro-pop, is Yelle. Her f ...

SEA INSIDE
That weekend on Salt Spring has us pining for a seaside second address—if only we could shore up enough funds.
Instead of crying salty tears, we're bringing the sea inside with 18 Karat's latest home décor collection, Tafoni.
Named
for the circular hollows that form on sea-weathered stone, the
collection is a stunning interpretation of the ...

TRESSES? NO STRESSES!
As
if the bad hair day wasn't torturous enough, the epic line-up at your
local java joint meant you went without your recommended daily intake
of espresso roast.
Double trouble begone. From now until November 7th, when you pop in to Blo
at the Four Seasons between 7-10:30 a.m. for a $30 blow out, you'll
also go out with a coffee and ...

EASY BEING GREEN
Do you know a baby who is bound to become vegan by age two?
Get the budding Stella McCartney off on the right foot with B.C.'s new The Eco-Chic Baby where there are vegetable-shaped rattles, surprisingly attractive wool diaper covers (for cloth diapers, natch) and funny wooden caterpillars.
Now all she needs is a “save the baby seals” ...

EAT OUR WORDS
We would never lead you into a dining faux pas—so we must lead you to Les Faux Bourgeois.
The
month-old French bistro has been packed nightly (heed our call: reserve
a week ahead) with a cool mix of Main Street mavens and hip empty
nesters.
Built by the former owner of Jules Bistro in Gastown
(now a Faux Bourgeois partner) the place loo ...

LODEN ON THE LOWDOWN
We
relived teenage fantasies yesterday by sneaking into a fancy downtown
hotel (OK, so we were accompanied by the PR but don't ruin our reverie)
for an advance peek of the haute Loden Vancouver opening to the public on October 18.
With
hotel staff abuzz—delivering remote controls, polishing marble,
finalizing the menu and—the abs ...
