Editors' Picks: My 5 Favourite Things

Ever wonder what items our editors can't live without? All week long they'll be sharing their favourite things. Today Kelsey Dundon, our Vancouver lifestyle editor, shares hers:

Forget Oprah, you’ve been dying to find out about Kelsey’s favourite things, haven’t you?

Hand-woven Wool Throws at Marché St. George $85
The wool is unbleached and undyed. The result? Undeniably beautiful. These cozy throws are made by artisans in the mountains of Mexico and sold at my very favourite marché. www.marchestgeorge.com

My Father’s Daughter by Gwyneth Paltrow $21.78
Am I slightly embarrassed about being such a GP fan? Yes. Has her cookbook ever led me astray? No. Seriously, serve her world-famous pancakes at your next brunch and your ladyfriends won’t shut up about them. www.amazon.ca

Boardwalk Cuff by Henderson Dry Goods $170
I’m a firm believer in piling on the bracelets and this gold-leafed, laser etched wood cuff from Vancouver’s own Henderson Dry Goods goes straight to the top of my pile. www.hendersondrygoods.com

Nightlife by Phantogram $4.99
Just because I have a shameless girl crush on lead singer Sarah Barthel doesn’t mean I’m totally biased. Phantogram’s new EP is a brilliant follow-up to their much-lauded album “Eyelid Movies”. www.itunes.apple.com

Marine Animals Print by Banquet Atelier & Workshop $60. Being something of a water baby myself, I’d love to see this ocean-themed print on my wall. Hint, hint, Mr. Claus. www.banquetworkshop.com —Kelsey Dundon
