I'll be in Vancouver with time on my hands for two days at the end of the month. I will be with my sole fashion-loving girlfriend, and I'd like your suggestions on places to visit.

Neither of us pay absolute top dollar for our clothes; we're middle-aged; she's a very trendy petite apple and I'm a tall, fleshy, hourglass urban dramatic/boho/classic mix.

Where do you recommend window shopping? Shopping for statement/investment pieces? Moderately-priced trendy bits?

TIA for your ideas!
