1. Banana Republic
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1A1
(604) 688-1630
Category:
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Continuing on my quest for a brand-new image (a la Stacy and Clinton of What Not to Wear - thought they may not know it), I hit Pacific Centre Mall in downtown Vancouver to add more fashion to my fledgling professional wardrobe.
Entering Banana…More »
2. Blue Ruby
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A9
(604) 899-2583
Category:
Jewellery
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
In the summer of 1998, Blue Ruby opened and filled a long-empty niche in Vancouver's retail scene: Fun, funky, fashionable, and fabulous jewellery that DIDN'T cost (but definitely looked amazing on) an arm and a leg.
Eight years later, and with…More »
3. Crabtree & Evelyn
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2M9
(604) 263-4323
Categories:
Beauty and Spas,
Flowers & Gifts
Neighbourhoods: South Cambie, Oakridge
We're all used to seeing (and sniffing) Crabtree & Evelyn stores in malls and busy shopping areas of the city. But did you know that the store was actually inspired by the early day apothecary and two 17th century British horticulturists? Well, it…More »
4. lululemon athletica
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N7
(604) 732-6111
Categories:
Yoga,
Sports Wear,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
No Vancouver-based Yelp reviewer's mission can be considered complete until she does an obligatory post on one of our city's most famous start ups, Lululemon Athletica. So here's mine.
Even if you've never done a sun salutation or downward dog,…More »
5. Mavi Jeans
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 738-6284
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I go through jeans stages. Translation: different periods of my life can literally be defined by different brands of jeans. In junior high it was Levis, high school was Guess and Big Star, undergrad was Miss Sixty and post-grad Rock & Republic. Now…More »
6. Plenty
Vancouver, BC V6E 1B5
(604) 689-4478
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhood: West End
Plenty is a Lower Mainland mini-chain that carries a mix of local labels and international brands. Despite its successful expansion to several locations throughout the city (including some of Vancouver's biggest, busiest shopping malls), I find…More »
7. Sephora
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1E4
(778) 331-3942
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I don't wear makeup - i don't even know how to apply it. But once in a while I find myself craving a lip gloss or moisturizer fix. Having moved from Toronto to Vancouver, I wondered where the local Sephora was the first time I had one of these beauty…More »
8. skoah
So what? Another spa doing another facial. Boooring. But wait! No, really, wait! Skoah's not just another spa, and the service they offer isn't just another facial! Honest! Listen, do you workout? Like, at a gym? Maybe even with a personal trainer?…More »
9. Swimco For Swimwear
Vancouver, BC V6K 1N6
(604) 732-7946
Category:
Sporting Goods
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
Swimco is actually a popular chain of stores, with more than a dozen locations across Western Canada. I love the mix-and-match options, which include labels like Seafolly, Roxy and Hula Honey. Other swimwear brands you'll recognize (and love) are…More »
10. The Coach Store
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1X6
(604) 694-1772
Categories:
Leather Goods,
Accessories
Neighbourhood: Downtown
At The Coach Store on Burrard you'll find, well, a lot of Coach products. But, as one of North America's most affordable luxury brands, you can pick up a few of this season's hottest styles with ease. From patchwork hobos to classic leather or…More »
11. The Body Shop
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K8
(604) 687-2744
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The Body Shop is an oldie but goodie - pretty much a staple in every major shopping district in ever major city across Canada. Vancouver's no different, and you'll find the store underground in Pacific Centre Mall. There used to be a larger retailer…More »
12. TNA
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J4
(604) 714-5927
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Accessories
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Yes. I am a fan of TNA. I don't love everything offered in this South Granville store (much of it seems very high school-esque to me), but they do have the basics -- fitted tees, comfy hoodies, trendy leggings -- I will give them that. The…More »
13. Zara Canada
Vancouver, BC V6E 1A7

Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Children's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: West End, Downtown
I just returned from a fabulous six-week trip to Spain, home of Zara, the chain-retail store we Canadians know and love for its trendy, thrifty rip-offs of all the latest and hottest men's and women's European runway fashions.
In Spain, there was an…More »
