fall withdrawal

Their cute new collections include contrast-trim bras with little bows and frills, leopard prints and sex ...

reaping the benefit

August 28th, 2006

Lasting longer than a Stephen Spielberg epic and packed with enough jojoba oil to keep your pout plump well into your third Pimm’s, the grown-up “Her Glossiness” glosses from San Francisco’s Benefit are mercifully unsticky or sweet smelling. From the pearly “My People, Your People” to ...

August 25th, 2006
Is it just us, or is there a surplus of buff young men cruising the aisles at the new Cambie and 16th Avenue Capers Community Market? Could be the new condos upstairs, or the fact that there’s almost an entire city block worth of wholesome groceries to be had, but either way, take a peek in his cart and see if he’s worthy: You see: A loaf of 700 Degree wood-fired rosemary-onion bre ...

sooke it up

August 17th, 2006
When you think of a B&B, a lofty private room with vaulted ceilings is probably not the first image to come to mind. But lucky for us the owners of the new Cougar's Crag Extreme B&B in Sooke near Victoria, have reinvented the B & B experience. Banished are the doily curtains and tweed décor. Instead, this beautiful, airy house has a pair of adjoining two-storey suites with lux ...
