In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web. In case you need further convincing that graphic designers have the best blogs, I present Emmadime by Emma Robertson, a designer, knitter and blogger from the Bay Area. It’s chockablock full of quirky fashion… Sweet food shots… Design (’cause she’s a designer)… And [...]
The Anthology’s Pinstagram column marries the dream (Pinterest) and the reality (Kelsey Dundon’s Instagram photos of places and faces in and around Vancouver). Earned stripes. My favourite striped Topshop maternity dress and a shirt that would look great on my baby girl once she outgrows all her onesies. Faster than a… The world’s speediest (and blurriest) Jack Russell Terrier puppy and another [...]

In this guest post, the culture critic shares the odd experience of watching an old friend portrayed on stage by a dashingly handsome actor.

These, I love. When a real celebration is in order there’s nothing better than a bouquet of balloons. Or, in this case, a single, gigantic, tassel-tastic balloon hand-decorated by Vancouverite (and a former colleague of mine) Amy Cheung of Confetti and Co. Sure beats the ones you get at the grocery store. [Photos from Confetti and [...]
