Even more fun than unflattering “before” shots are dogtastic “after” shots. I shortened my vintage secretary dress (and by “I” I mean “my tailor”). Wore it with a vintage jacket and Givenchy tights to a girlfriend’s baby shower (congratulations KJ!). And it looks so gosh-darned great, I’d be taking too much credit if I said [...]
It snowed in Vancouver! (Shocking, I know.) Which means it’s finally time to bundle up in giant wooly things. Like this poncho I found in a vintage shop. It’s the coziest thing I’ve ever put on. It’s hand-knit in Bolivia, a country I’d love, love, love to visit one day. Could that be because its mountain-framed [...]
to Steveston, which is — what would you guess — 20 minutes outside Vancouver? And yet, it is an entirely different world. You’ve been, right? Probably even eaten the fish ‘n chips at Pajos (if you haven’t yet, you’ve got to). We walked for hours along the trails. And boy, did it feel good to [...]
And let’s say that opera was the Marriage of Figaro. What would you wear? A wedding dress? Of course you would. I found this beauty at a vintage shop and even though I’m already hitched I had to have it. I’m getting it shortened so it will be more of a ballet length as opposed to an [...]
How is anyone ever going to take you seriously with those ears? You were so cute when you were a blurry pup, a big-footed mutt, a symmetrical little beast, and a true snow baby. But now I can’t help but laugh when I look at you. Suppose I shouldn’t make too much fun of you, though. Seeing as how [...]
I present to you the Anthology’s top ten most ridiculous moments of 2009. Oh what a year it was. 10. Most ridiculous 12 seconds of fame — Dancing on stage. On national television. Thank you, MTV Canada. 9. Most ridiculous “before” shot – the mumu that one Anthology reader compared to a hospital gown. 8. Most [...]
Well, more like hiking through the rain and fog on our trek up Mount Seymour Peak yesterday. It was absolutely gorgeous in the eeriest way. As we scaled rocks and hugged cliffs near the third peak, we could barely see in front of us. It felt like something out of the Lord of the Rings. There [...]
It’s weird being in Turkey while this little beast is at home. It’s only been a few short months since he burst onto the scene and changed our (and our cats’) quiet, peaceful lives into exhausting, stressful ones. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m so thankful I took a bazillion photos like [...]
A few weeks ago we got the pup a new look. Out went his sissy hand-me-down floral collar, in came his real man-dog collar. It’s b-b-b-bad to the bone. But when I started thinking about it, I realized my own Michael Kors tank top had similar flat rivets. I know dogs and their owners are supposed [...]
I wear my bright red Queen’s sweatpants from the year 2000 (best gift ever, Laura, Anji and KJ). But when we go in the morning, my walk wear is work wear. The pendant was my mom’s brooch from the sixties, which means it can fasten to tube tops and jumpsuits too. The skirt’s vintage — it’s made of [...]
