STRAP ON YOUR STAR GOGGLES! From Yaletown to Gastown, Vancouver is bursting with visiting celebutantes in the mood for gastro-delights, hip home accessories and breezy cover-ups (to shield them from the flashcubes, natch). So whether you’re cueing behind Kanye at a Holt Renfrew cosmetics counter or star-spying Jude Law along Robson Street, get ready to rub elbows with the beautiful people, babe.

LOVE QUOTES Want to channel the vibe of Angelina Jolie or Sienna Miller? Pick up a Love Quotes linen scarf from Fab in Kerrisdale—lickity split. Stars like Jessica Alba and Cameron Diaz are flipping for this uber-soft, paparazzi-proof wrap (in hues like raspberry mousse and seaglass) that keeps Pilates-toned pipes warm on a chilly West Coast night and doubles as a chic pareo when you’re poolside in Positano. Love it? Thought so. 2305 West 41st Ave., (604) 267-3220 or visit fabclothing.com for other locations.
