Vancouver's New Lynn Steven Boutique

Conde Nast Traveler Senior Assistant Editor Mollie Chen spent last weekend in (pre-Olympic) Vancouver, where she ate and drank her way through the city--and found this cool new shop: 

"Lynn Steven is a brand-new boutique in the hipster-happy Gastown neighborhood. My friend and I wandered in because we were curious about the strange structure in the middle of the shop; it turned out to be a circular dressing room constructed entirely from used paperbacks. (It is the work of local architectural firm McFarlane Green Biggar, which is known for its modern designs and sustainable philosophy.) Despite its wee size, owner Nicole Dennis Durnin has packed her store with covetable items by brands like Lauren Moshi and Rory Beca. I picked up a pretty silk blouse by Gemma, but now that I'm back in New York I wish I'd sprung for the retro ski hat by Vancouver's own Granted Clothing. Next time."
