Spring has sprung. I just love the fresh scent in the air and all the blooming flowers, and what’s almost as wonderful? Spring shopping! I think it’s time to get outside and visit Gastown for their bi-annual Shop Hop, this Thursday, April 22nd from 5pm-9pm. What makes it even more fun? Complimentary beverages. Drinking, socializing and shopping locally – sign me up!

Here are some of my favorite Gastown shops featuring local designers:

1). 212 – Check out their Spring 2010 Collection here

2). Obakki – Modern, wearable separates made locally in their Vancouver atelier. Check out my post on their Spring 2010 collection here.

Obakki’s Spring 2010 line is elegant, refined and infinitely wearable. Designed and manufactured in Vancouver – season after season Obakki never disappoints. While the dresses from this collection may not be in my budget – I can recognize them for what they are – investment pieces. Dresses this beautiful can be worn season after season! See the whole collection here.
