There is certainly no shortage of eye candy on South Beach, but the new Standard Hotel (outcrop of André Balaz’s LA and New York properties) is well, setting new standards away from the South Beach fray on Biscayne Bay.

This recently launched Mecca of seventies décor is the perfect getaway for those who love to spa, suntan, and sip cocktails by the adults-only pool. And who doesn’t?

The comfy, high-end beach shack-style rooms have flat screen TVs, stereos and a private (curtained) deck—some even with a claw foot tub outside to soak in after a long day of lounging.

Enjoy mud baths or body wraps in the spa or on the pool deck

berry good for you

August 31st, 2006
Does a skinny latté sometimes pass for a healthy breakfast?

Well turns out that Tibetans have a better idea — they eat a handful of berries a day and many live disease free for well over 100 years.

While living forever might be a little much, these super berries, called goji berries, are a tasty and convenient way to top up your vitality. 

Believed to be one of the world's healthiest foods (move over blueberries and pomegranates) they are rich in anti-oxidants, beta-carotene, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E and many micro-minerals.

Tasting somewhere between a dried cherry and a cranberry, they can be eaten in hot cereals,

we've got you covered

Need some cool tuneage to carry you through the Labour Day long weekend? Check out these cool cover tracks by unexpected artists.

The BeeGee’s “Love You Inside and Out” by Feist.

On her new Open Season remix album, the Canadian-in-Paris lends her breathy stylings to the tear jerking lyrics: “I love you inside and out, backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out.” Check out www.listentofeist.com

Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now” by Ive Mendes.

You won’t believe it’s the same song when it’s given some Latin love by the girl who’s been dubbed the Sade of Brazil.  Listen at www.ivemendes.co.uk

Elvis’ “Suspicious Minds”

fall withdrawal

August 29th, 2006
It’s hard to admit, but autumn is upon us and it’s time to trade in the flirty sundresses for the season’s moody, somber vibe.

Who, us? Never.

We’ll be adding a little cheer to our winter woolies and a little girliness to our grey matter via local line Third Floor Lingerie.

Their cute new collections include contrast-trim bras with little bows and frills, leopard prints and sexy, sheer kimono tops for the boudoir.

 As they say, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

 Oh, that’s not what they meant?

reaping the benefit

It’s a cliché that bears repeating: there’s no quicker pick-me-up than a new lipstick.

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 the peachy “Didn’t Hear it From Me,” the new VIP glosses will have you finding your inner Hollywood starlet in no time.

Just please avoid clichés. That’s our territory.

$20 at The Bay Vancouver, Richmond, Oakridge and across Canada.  www.hbc.com

cruising capers

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 bread from Savoury Coast restaurant .

Translation: He knows it from his downtown power lunches. Score one point.

You see: A deli container (made from 100 percent compostable materials, no less) filled with hand-peeled local shrimp.

Translation:

think of england

If rolling countryside and castles are your cup of tea, think fall in England.

Herewith, our top two picks for English country retreats.

Malmaison Oxford Castle Hotel

A former prison at Oxford Castle, today there’s nothing masochistic about shutting yourself in at the Malmaison.

The 94 rooms are designed with only punishing decadence in mind. Much of the original fittings and layout have been maintained, including studded metal doors and barred windows, but chic modern updates have created an atmosphere of moody luxury.

The Brasserie and Bar in the cellar are also criminally good.
