Apologies, dear Styled West readers: I know it has been nearly a month since my last blog entry, but as you’ll see over the next few pages, my time has been well spent wining and dining, brushing shoulders with the who’s who of Vancouver, and of course, shopping—all so I can report back to you. Enjoy.

This holiday season, my top priorities are to support local businesses, complete my shopping at one destination and, because I will have my three very young children in tow, spend no more than a few hours. I am opting for Crestwood Centre, an elegant collection of stores that are upscale shopping at it’s finest.

Don’t let this holiday season stress you out. Stop in at Spa Ahava (720 Broadway Avenue, 306-978-8111, spaahava.com), a little oasis snuggled between the unique shops in the heart of Broadway.

Okay, December is finally here, which means that now even I, the Scroogiest of all, can begin thinking about Christmas. Having survived seven Christmases working in retail, I think it will still take me a while to recover my holiday spirit. But if the crowded shopping wasn’t pandemonium enough in previous years, now construction of the Canada Line is adding insult to injury by causing traffic mayhem in some of Vancouver’s best shopping quarters.

Recessionistas are rediscovering the simple pleasures of homemade meals, and they’ll surely enjoy the not-so-simple foie gras cooking class by caterer extraordinaire Denise Cornellier (December 10, $225, cornelliertraiteur.com). From fancy holiday hors d’oeuvres to hearty soups with a twist and scrumptious mains, your dear ones might very well surprise you with fine new delicacies at this year’s Xmas dinner party.
