We should have organized a lil something!</p> <p>All good suggestions. My pantaloon shorts are Nicole Bridger. She has cool stuff. South Granville (b/t Broadway &amp; 16th) has some good shops. Main St has a lot of antiques &amp; unusual boutiques, ie Front &amp; Co. Gastown has some good stuff, Leone is high end designer between Gastown &amp; by Canada Place. Oak &amp; Fort is in Gastown (&amp; other locations) and I LOVE it. There are quite a few Canadian designer shops down there.</p> <p>Holt Renfrew is the big gun in town, of course. The Bay is our dept store like a cross between Macys &amp; Nordstrom.</p> <p>If you feel like lining up for ice cream Bella Gelateria is outstanding (downtown Cordova near convention centres).</p> <p>Vij's Indian restaurant is fab (south Granville).</p> <p>You are close to Ciopppino's which is hands down our fav Italian restaurant in the city. I also like Minami (Japanese) - try the Zen platter....mmmmm aburi sushi is yummmmm.</p> <p>Let us know how you make out!!!</p> <p>ETA just saw crackers last reply &amp; agree!<br /> Aritzia is worth a pop in for sure. And hey, can you find a Danier??? Not sure if there is one in Pacific centre or maybe Robson St. I think Robson.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1344050 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 21:09:09 +0000 claire 1344050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couple more thoughts for you, I've just stuck to spots within walking distance of Yaletown. If you venture a little north to Gastown, still an easy walk, there is Kit and Ace (chip Wilson of Lululemon's wife and son's new venture), Dutil for jeans, Oak and Fort, The Block, Tody, and lots more little one of a kind boutiques. Fun exploring and lots of good new restaurants. Oh, and another Fluevog if you missed the original store on Granville. Sorry the weather isn't cooperating for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343978 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 18:46:28 +0000 Petite Marj 1343978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is that shoe store sign board from?<br />If you make it up to South Granville, do check out Lord's! It is one of the most creative shops in the area... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343976 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 18:41:07 +0000 Petite Marj 1343976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is that shoe store sign board from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343974 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 18:35:28 +0000 Petite Marj 1343974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prvovince Marinaside is a wonderful restaurant in the area where you are staying. Too, the Georgia Hotel has a beautiful courtyard area on the 4th floor but, you'll want some sunshine for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343972 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 18:32:22 +0000 Petite Marj 1343972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if you are still here but...<br />Some great local shops are: Plum (try the South Granville store) and Nicole Bridger(on west 4th, just down the street from Gravity Pope.) Wear Else, also on West 4th. Dianne's Lingerie on South Granville, Blushing - another local designer on Richard Street downtown. JC Studio at 164 W. 5th - not sure if they will be open because of the holiday weekend.<br />Sorry I didn't see your post earlier as I could have touched based personally with you to give you a full list.<br />Stay warm and have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343923 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 16:09:13 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1343923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a Canadian and haven't spent any time up here since I was a toddler, so suffice to say I'm not familiar with your specific retailers. I don't plan on going to any of the retailers that we have in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343716 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 05:11:33 +0000 Ariadne 1343716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you Canadian? &nbsp;If not I can tip you off to some Canada-specific chains. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343603 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 01:11:19 +0000 Style Fan 1343603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gravity Pope and Holt Renfrew.&nbsp; How amazing is that?&nbsp; Lots of little boutiques in different areas.&nbsp; Yaletown for sure.</p> <p>If you like Smythe Holt Renfrew carries Smythe.&nbsp; At least they do in Toronto and Montreal.&nbsp; I have not looked in Vancouver recently.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343569 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:14:29 +0000 Anonymous 1343569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shopping (for) break-fast? Does is get any better than that? Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343564 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:11:38 +0000 claire 1343564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh shame, I could have organized a little meet up if I had known! Try Robson Street for Aritzia, Club Monaco, Browns (great shoes) and definitely Holt Renfrew. Bluebird on Alberni Street is awesome. Yaletown has lots of one of a kind little boutiques and great restaurants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343555 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:05:11 +0000 Suz 1343555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack!! Granville Island!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love Holt's. Also fun to shop on Main Street -- totally different vibe, of course.&nbsp;</p> <p>Go to Gravity Pope for shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343546 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:59:28 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1343546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photos </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343541 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:56:10 +0000 Angie 1343541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holt Renfrew all the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343540 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:55:15 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1343540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're staying in ultra hip Yaletown so no shortage of great dining, distilleries, bars, clubs etc. but so far only a few boutiques sussed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343538 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:50:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1343538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! So jealous! I'll be watching to see the cool places to shop there. I've done mostly touristy things. Granville Island is fun; definitely a place to check out for food and arts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-shoptember-in-vancouver-recs#post-1343534 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:43:34 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1343534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Planning on breaking my shopping fast in Vancouver, BC this Labor Day and was wondering if any BC fabbers or Angie have recommendations for favorite downtown boutiques? Promise to post any findings </p>
