Your living room is about to get a whole lot cooler. One of The Anthology’s favourite photographers, Braden Paul is selling prints of his photographs for a very limited time (only until January 20th) and these are just a few of my favourites. You’ll find plenty more on his website, like this one and this one, which would also make [...]
I have long been a fan of Kermodi Living Art (don’t you think this would make the perfect office plant?). So I fell hard for Kermodi’s understated, almost terrarium-esque ornaments at Vancouver Special. One of them is now nestled among the mason jars (used as tea light candle holders) and cake plates (used as candle stands) on the [...]
In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web. It might be far from spring in North America. But guess where the warm, sunny days are getting longer instead of shorter? Australia! Which is where sisters Elizabeth and Isabella, the creative minds behind Spell & The Gypsy, live. Reading their blog is [...]
By Erika Renfrew The art of handwritten notes seem lost with the wonders of the worldwide web. (Then again, who doesn’t love a great blog?) No stranger to the online world, Vancouver style blogger Olivia Lovenmark swapped her keyboard for paper and a (glitter) pen to launch a stationery line called LOVE + MARK’D. Inspired by her summer travels, [...]
Never in my life have I seen so many nude body suits. And I certainly wasn’t expecting so many of them at the ballet (then again, where else would I expect to find so much head-to-toe spandex?). Before the dress rehearsal of Love Lies Bleeding, I sat down with Alberta Ballet’s incredible artistic director Jean Grand-Maître, who [...]
In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web. This week’s spot goes to the LA-based blog You are the River, a beautifully curated site filled with all things creative, inspiring and design-y. Especially home decor — think chic homes with white walls, rustic wood tables and lots [...]
If you asked me how old Vancouver’s Contemporary Art Gallery was, I would have guessed… oh, about seven. And I would have been very, very wrong. Because it just turned 40. I stopped in for (I hate to admit) the very first time yesterday to join them for the anniversary festivities. And I fell head over heels [...]
In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web. When former Aritzia creative director Breanna Musgrove left Vancouver for the beaches of Mexico, she chronicled her adventures and creative pursuits on her blog Scout & Catalogue. Now that she’s moved north once again, she catalogues the making of [...]
Each week in The Anthology’s Bookmark column we’ll explore some of the most inspiring corners of the internet. For the inaugural post, it’s only fitting that we turn to Kelly Wearstler’s My Vibe My Life. The interior designer turned designer designer balances over-the-top glamour with rock-and-roll cool so beautifully, I’m addicted to her aesthetic. And [...]
You know what’s fun? Art openings. Especially when the opening is at the gorgeous Rennie Collection in celebration of Turner Prize-winning Brit Martin Creed. Sure, there were broccoli stamps, video installations, a mechanized piano and living statues. But none of us could get over the balloons. I mean, this installation is essentially an Ikea ballroom for grownups. Honestly. When [...]
