CRU Restaurant – now open for lunch
CRU Restaurant (1459 West Broadway), is now open for lunch! Their lunch hours, from Monday to Friday are from 11:30am to 2:00pm.
CRU will doubtless quickly become a mid-day hot spot, as it offers the winning combination of outstanding cuisine in a refined, yet relaxed atmosphere and a central location. It’s the ideal place to get together with friends, or to meet with business colleagues.
CRU’s lunch menu offers some of its favourite award-winning small plates, new lunch dishes and variations of some dinner menu items. Drop by for the Beef Tenderlon Carpaccio, Mushroom Truffle Risotto or Crispy Duck Confit with warm bacon dressing, which is on Vancouver Magazine’s “Best Things to Eat and Drink in Vancouver” list.

Holt Renfrew – Valentino Fall 2009 Shoes/Bags
Perhaps after watching Valentino: The Last Emperor, we have all developed an urge to see what the upcoming Valentino collection will bring! The pricetag is steep, but a girl can be inspired with lot of bows and floral inspired patterns. From a red leather hobo bag adorned with a large rose-like bunching of material, to peeptoe pumps and booties, click here to see the shoes/bags that Holt Renfrew will be carrying from this line.
Changes Clothing & Jewelry Bar – 12th annual birthday fashion show (September 24)
I went to Changes Clothing and Jewelry Bar (4454 West 10th Avenue) last week to consign some of my clothing items that don’t quite suit me anymore, but would be great for someone else – an Abercrombie hoodie I never got around to wearing, ballet flats that were a bit too tight, etc.
“As fall approaches so does the urge to add to your wardrobe, and you may start wondering how you’re going to afford to purchase all of the fabulous pieces that beckon you to buy them; Changes has your solution. With beautiful brand name garments at affordable prices you will find you no longer have to curb your urge.”
This is probably the 7th year I have been a regular client of Changes Clothing – whether it’s to shop for myself, to consign my clothes, or to browse through their fabulous selection of jewelry. If you need another reason to visit the girly boutique, Changes Clothing is having their annual birthday fashion show on Thursday September 24, 2009 from 6:30pm to 10pm. For $10 (with 100% of ticket sales being donated to Big Sisters of Greater Vancouver) the evening will feature models styled by their in house stylist, refreshments, and discounts! To purchase a ticket please call 604-222-1505.
