GO GWYNETH

Not
only has the mother of two been traipsing around premiers in ultra
minis and sky-high shoes, but Gwyneth Paltrow has also found time to
launch her own website, GOOP.






Billed
as a “collection of experiences,” Gwyneth spills on her favorite tuna
sandwhich recipe, best jeans (Grey Ant), and London hot spots. From
philosophy (Deepak Chopra) to Philosophy (beauty products) it's like
walking a mile in Gwyneth's lace-up booties as she dishes tips on how
to find a little black dress or whip up a perfect batch of buckwheat
pancakes.


But nowhere does it mention how to survive on sashimi or if she really is the one in the house who gets to clean up the goop….

DESIGNER DEALS

We love a mad dash through the snow as much as the next Canadian
girl, but we were in winter denial until a puddle deep-sixed our flats.
With nary a cashmere scarf to keep us cozy, we’re turning to the Holt
Renfrew Designer Sale to right a closet wrong.


From
November 27 until December 24, Holts has Fall and Winter designer
fashions and accessories on sale for up to 40 per cent off. Shop
cutting-edge designers that the fashion editors fawn over and the big
bold names that are a better investment than the stock market.


And
as penance for our winter wardrobe malaise, we’re getting a head start
on the sun and perusing just-in spring and resort pieces while we score
key winter staples.


Now that’s fashion forward.


For details visit www.holtrenfrew.com/designersale


 


*Excluding cosmetics, fragrances, skincare, Chanel, Tiffany &
Co., watches and selected departments. Please ask a Sales Associate for
details. Offer valid at all stores except Last Call.

SOUP'S ON

Nothing
cures a drizzly day like a steaming bowl of ramen noodles, and the new
Menya Japanese Noodle bar has been sating the Vitamin V team for
several weeks now (from about the time we started wearing Wellies to
work).


Grab a stool made from a polished wood stump (if you can
get a space among the mainly Japanese clientele) and order the
traditional pork-broth Nagahama ramen ($6.75) that arrives piping hot
before you can take off your coat.


Yes, there are times when complete satisfaction can come in less than two minutes.


Menya Japanese Noodle, 401 W. Broadway (at Yukon), Vancouver, 604-873-3277.

THE SPY WHO BOOKED ME

Our idea of a unique holiday involves boutique hotels, not musty motels.


So we’ll be booking our next great escape through Mr & Mrs Smith.
The UK travel site—not the film that birthed a tabloid couple—hand
picks small luxury hotels from around the globe and provides pertinent
information like the best rooms, packing tips and destination to-dos.





Also the publishers of coffee table travel guides, its latest tome, Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique Hotel Collection: The Global Shortlist
features saucy he-said-she-said reviews of 30 hot spots from notable
contributors (including fashionistas Bee Shaffer and Serena Rees) and
comes with a member card which grants you bespoke benefits when
booking, like free nights, champagne and massages.


Wonder if we’ll find our Brad at Casa Angelina?

NOVEMBER 26TH, 2008
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL

If John Hughes made another Brat Pack movie today, M83 would undoubtedly be called upon to compose the soundtrack.


While the man behind M83, Frenchman Anthony Gonzalez, has always had a penchant for the decade of synth and shoulder pads, his latest record Saturdays = Youth fully realizes its sound.


No
surprise, seeing as he used analog instruments rather than computers,
employed a songstress with a Kate Bush quality and partnered with a
producer who also worked with the Cocteau Twins. The tracks we have on
repeat, like “Kim & Jessie” and “Skin of the Night," capture the
mood and the melody of being young and like totally hormonal.


But
you’ll need more than an album download to warrant calling up your high
school boyfriend and donning blue eyeliner again, which is why you
should know that M83 performs in the flesh at Richard’s on Richards
tonight.


That’s a new kind of nostalgia no old yearbook can supply.


Saturdays = Youth available at iTunes ($9.99), show at Richard’s starts at 9:30 p.m., advance tickets $20 at Zulu Records.
