La Casita Tacos
This Robson Street restaurant does some of the best Mexican food Vancouver has to offer. It’s hands-down my favourite spot for fresh guacamole and chicken tinga tacos.

Holt Renfrew
I recently went to Holt’s to interview the beautiful and talented Rebecca Minkoff, and she shared some festival style must-haves: her label’s fringed Julian backpack and the Finn crossbody bag, below (remove the straps and it becomes a clutch—perfect for on the go!).

Rosewood Hotel Georgia Spa
I snuck away for an afternoon here, and it was bliss! Spotted during my visit: the Canucks’ Daniel Sedin… You just never know who you might spy catching some R&R.

Redfish Kids
With five- and one-year-old nieces, I’m always on the hunt for kids’ gifts that are just as exciting for the parents as for the children. Vancouver-founded shop Redfish Kids offers beautifully crafted clothing (including dresses I wish I could get in my size!), made locally and inspired by street style from cities like Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo. They also have gorgeous toys, books and trinkets.
