And those of you who didn’t take literature in school ask: Who?
He’s the Irish author of The Commitments, The Woman Who Walked into Doors and now, The Dead Republic. And, if the reading I attended is any indication, he would make the coolest dinner guest ever.
Nerd that I am, I had him sign The Dead Republic. The unfortunate thing [...]
Your grade two teacher wore something very similar to this, didn’t she?
Long skirt, exceptionally shoulder-padded shirt — it’s a foolproof combination, isn’t it? So classic. So vintage.
My favourite thing about a twofer is that you can treat the separates as separates and wear them, well, separately.
All I needed to do with the blouse was remove [...]
I’m pretty sure Grace Coddington would approve of wearing it head-to-toe but, Anna Wintour most certainly would not (have you seen The September Issue?!?).
It doesn’t matter, though, because neither were in Vancouver last night. And neither were at the jam-packed first-anniversary party for JK Models at Leone.
It was so much fun to see such beautiful faces [...]
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 stretch our legs.
And [...]
Sound familiar? It’s Britney Spears. And it’s also many of you.
Because after I posted a few teaser shots of the vintage wedding dress transformation, y’all were hollering for more. And who am I to deny you?
Here’s a refresher: I found this late 50s/early 60s dress at a thrift store and I had to have it. (I [...]
I am so very freaking excited to announce the launch of The Anthology Boutique where some of my favourites (like this scarf) can become your favourites.
Shop! shop! shop your hearts out!
P.S. See you in the Twittersphere, tweeps.

You remember these, right?
Well, they’re back! And they’re better than ever!
Because they are now shorts! Which makes me want to, um, jump for joy.
They’re still as pleated as ever, they’re still as acid washed as they were originally, but now that they’re shorts, they’re downright funky.
It’s an extreme makeover, Hammer pants edition. And it’s a [...]
Went to an art show last night at Leone celebrating Vancouver artist Gina Miller’s mixed media works (which are beeeautiful!).
And it got me thinking about mixing media.
Like coupling the soft flowiness of a silk blouse…
…with the roughness of a wool jacket.
And this isn’t just any wool jacket either. It’s a men’s battledress jacket, no less. I found it at an antique fair [...]
But I’m going to ignore that fact and reminisce about California.
Because I left my heart in the desert.
I love that it can be 8 billion degrees but there will still be snow on the mountains.
Another place I’d like to reminisce about? Turkey.
That’s where I found this shirt/dress (what is with all the hippy dippy clothes I [...]
And yes, I am blogging in the foyer of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. We’re about to go backstage but before we do, I’ve been reading the synopsis and here’s the story in a simplified nutshell: Figaro and Susanna are engaged.
One problem though: he’s a valet and she’s a maid. Which would be fine except that their [...]
