I know I've mentioned it before, but I adore The Bay Downtown. I had some time this weekend to go and wander through, so of course I did just that.
Their hosiery section is absolutely amazing! They have everything: dozens of different kinds of fishnets, silky nylons, sheer nylons, patterned tights, fun socks... the list goes on.
This weekend, I even stumbled on some Betsey Johnson tights: pink ones with a super-funky print. Where will I wear them? I really don't know. But I will find somewhere to wear them because they are treasure! And I will definitely be heading back to The Bay Downtown to stock up on tights before the weather turns warm (on a side note: it's supposed to snow on Tuesday... so there will probably be a few more chances to wear tights before the season changes!).

Dine-Out Vancouver
It's that time again! Time for Dine Out Vancouver! This is one time a year for two weeks (January 14th to February 1st) when almost 200 local restaurants want you to come try them out, so they serve you an established menu at a lowered price. Your meal will either be $18, $28 or $38, and you can dine in many of the city's best restaurants.
My favourite last year was Sip Resto-Lounge, and they look pretty good this year, too: Goat-Cheese Salad appetizer, Mushroom Cannelloni and Bailey's Mousse? Count me in!
I think my top picks for this year would be Bacchus Restaurant, with their Roasted Yam and Apple Velouté, Crisp Confit of Duck with Fingerling Potatoes "Forestière" and Vanilla and Mascarpone Cheesecake for dessert; and the Stone Grill's Cornish Game Hen stuffed with Wild Rice. Alright, now I'm hungry.

Best Food Deal in the City
This is just for anyone who doesn't know about Kam's Place.
So if you've never heard of it, or if you're visiting Vancouver, it's one of the best lunch and dinner spots downtown if you want a great deal.
Kam's Place, on Davie (1043 Davie St), serves "Authentic Singaporean Cuisine" at very reasonable prices. And the prices are made even more reasonable by the coupon they put in the Georgia Straight newspaper every single week. That's right! Every week, you can get a 2 for 1 coupon for Kam's Place in the paper. And then you can go there to eat their delicious food.
I recommend the spring rolls and anything with black bean sauce. Yum!

Plenty of Savings
Mmmm... shopping! Plenty is selling off all their fall & winter goods at half-off! How can you refuse? My favourite is the one in Metrotown, but apparently there are locations in Kits, Richmond and on Robson... so we can ALL go and check it out. Get some stuff, hide it away, and find it when we unpack our winter clothes at the end of summer. I love it!
