I CRAVE…Some Holiday Help!

December 14th, 2008 | Published in Blog

Crave Book As I’m sure you’re all well aware, dear String readers, sometimes being fabulous is a tough gig! Looking chic, hunting down the sweetest presents, and knowing where all the great finds are can be an exhausting habit to keep up, especially this month, when your time is at a premium!

Never fear! I’d like to introduce you to the best ever trick to keep in your kimono sleeve (it’s kind of big), CRAVE Vancouver: The Urban Girl’s Manifesto! Crave This book is an amazing guide to our area’s best female-owned, local businesses that offer kick-ass service and the best quality, hands-down, so that you can relax and feel good about indulging a little. Bonus: It even features great Q&A sections where you can meet our city’s pioneer-ettes, learn from them, and see what inspires them. Whether you’re looking to shimmy into some dance lessons with burlesque mamas, find a new spa for girls’ night out pampering, or discover the most sumptuous cupcake this side of New York, it’s all here!

Along with the versions printed for your pals in different cities, CRAVE Vancouver is a fantastic read, with oodles of wonderful colour photos. The authors of this extremely handy tome have done all their homework, so both guys and gals alike will sigh with relief, as all they have to do is choose how or where to spoil you. As a coffee table book, girlfriends can browse through it and figure out where to visit on future adventures, plus having a copy of your own will keep you looking and feeling sassy and smart. So remember: Reading is sexy!
