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 ...

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

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 ...

For a personal touch to your spring ...

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

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

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' ...
