Style High Club

May 1st, 2009
APRIL 30TH, 2009 Style High Club We took a Decadent Darlings sleep mask on a recent red-eye and reaped plenty of shut-eye and compliments from fellow travelers. The silk masks ($30) from local designer Charmaine Carpenter come in a plethora of pretty patterns and feature a small pocket for stowing your ear plugs in (a pair comes with, as does a little sachet of lave ...

On May 9 at Park Royal Mall there'll be oodles of treats for you and the kiddies including: • a performance by super kiddie pop group Bobs & Lolo • a 20 per cent shopping discount (r ...

My Dear Watson

April 30th, 2009
APRIL 29TH, 2009 My Dear Watson No one can hold a candle to Thom Yorke, but if we had to call out a Canadian counterpart, we'd nominate Patrick Watson. More orchestral than electronic, the music by the falsetto Montrealer and his bandmates has that same atmospheric, inventive and emotive qualities that we love about Radiohead. His first album Close to Paradise recei ...

Coachella Cool

April 29th, 2009
APRIL 28TH, 2009 Coachella Cool We skipped out on the three day party in Palm Springs and are kicking ourselves for it (Cohen, McCartney and Morrisey, oh my!). But lucky for us, we don't have to catch a flight to get festival circuit chic—the spring collections of two local labels have the look down to a tee. Between the oversized tees and maybe maxi dress by Lily ...

Style Centre

April 28th, 2009
April 27, 2009 Style Centre Celebs may need the magic styling of Rachel Zoe, but Vancouver gals only need Pacific Centre. Over the past few years PC has captured our heart (and our closet) with top shops like H&M, Browns Shoes, Geox, Bebe, Coach, Hollister, Town Shoes, Miss Sixty/Energie and the revamped locations of Gap and Jacob. For a personal touch to your spring ...

The Whole Story

April 28th, 2009
APRIL 27TH, 2009 The Whole Story There's one thing we really love doing in L.A. (no, we aren't talking about the pool boy at The Mondrian). Toting a canvass bag full of goodies from Whole Foods is our favourite way to indulge our inner organic starlet. At the massive new Vancouver location (53,000 square feet, to be exact), grab a capp at the coffee bar, chat with t ...

A Tail of Two Kitties

April 26th, 2009
April 25, 2009 A Tail of Two Kitties Katie Holmes may be lost under Tom Cruise's paw, but there's another Katie fighting to regain her independence with help from the BC SPCA's Biscuit Fund. While scoping out her ‘hood, Katie's tail was injured quite badly in a car accident. With your help, she can get the surgery she needs to jump back into feline action with a new a ...

In With the New

April 26th, 2009
APRIL 25TH, 2009 In With the New Time to toss the paint-splatter jeans and spaghetti-stained tees for some pint-size pieces that scream, "I summer in the sandbox."   Whether dressing a Charlotte or a Charles, make sure your little one is one step ahead of the crowd in the funky Keep Shoes for kids ($45).       Toronto's Simon Says is a must for Mighty Fine' ...

Brunch Bandit

April 25th, 2009
APRIL 24TH, 2009 Brunch Bandit Your tried and true brunch routine holding you hostage? Spice things up with a vege-Mexican twist on the ol' standbys at Bandidas Taqueria. The delicious Hicks Benny has two perfectly poached free rangers nestled atop cornbread muffin tops and dressed with fresh tomatillo salsa. Jamie's Benny adds a kiss of sweet with caramelized pinea ...

Puppet Master

April 24th, 2009
APRIL 23RD, 2009 Puppet Master We've outgrown Casey and Finnegan, but that doesn't mean puppets can't still teach us a thing or two. With intricate hand-carved creations pontificating on touchy subjects like sex and death with satirical panache, an Old Trout Puppet Workshop show is anything but wooden. The Calgary-based theatre company—who're also responsible for Fe ...
