My accessories collection is not what you would call minimalist. I love neck things and wrist things and ring things. And head things like this band by Deepa Gurnani. When you first look at it, it appears to be just plain pretty. But when you really look at it, its matte, ridged beads have a [...]
Betcha never thought you could get a cute outfit out of a pair of shorts as high-waisted, pleated, printed and billowy as these, did ya? I was doubtful. But I knew these vintage shorts had potential. First I added a belt (this one’s vintage) because cinching a billowy vintage piece often does the trick. But that clearly [...]
Of all the colour combinations in the rainbow, there’s one that’s absolutely fool proof: black and white. Just try to give me one instance where you don’t love it. (Movies, you say? Well, then you’re clearly don’t love Audrey Hepburn flicks like I love Audrey Hepburn flicks.) And there’s another colour combination that I fall for [...]
The Anthology’s before and afters are back, my friends! And because these vintage specimens are oh-so-special, I thought we’d take a look at them through the eyes of my pup. “Oh hey! Those shorts are pretty fancy.” “But there’s so much of them, they hurt my eyes.” “Call me when you fix ‘em. I’m out.” Let’s [...]
After a lovely, lazy week off, it’s back to work for me. And this, my friends, is how I work it — in a vintage scarf, vintage jacket, vintage striped shirt, vintage eel skin purse. And my new favourite pair of army-green slacks from JNBY. With their relaxed tapered fit, they have a similar silhouette to my grey [...]
The ball is about to drop! Which means two things: 2012 is upon us and The Anthology’s most ridiculous moment of the past year is too. So without further adieu I give you… 1. This. A “before” shot so hideous it needs no description (though, if you’d like one, you’ll find it here). It really [...]
So far on The Anthology’s countdown we’ve got 10. an invisible man, 9. a friendly Sasquatch, 8. psychedelic pants, 7. alpine picnic 6. pompom-shaking, 5. fashion passion 4. my biggest fan 3. my male model entourage so that brings us to… 2. It was the question I assumed everyone would ask. When the unbelievably adorable Miss America walked the runway during the Joseph Ribkoff Show at [...]
We’re counting down The Anthology’s highlights of the past year (10. an invisible man, 9. the friendly Sasquatch, 8. psychedelic pants, 7. alpine picnic, 6. pompom-shaking, 5. fashion passion 4. my biggest fan) which means we are now at the top three… 3. The most ridiculous still frame ever. When I stopped by Breakfast Television to talk men’s fashion I did so with [...]
On The Anthology’s ten most ridiculous moments of 2011 there’s been a lot of happy-go-luckiness (see a handsome invisible man, the world’s friendliest Sasquatch, a pair of psychedelic pants, a spectacular alpine picnic and a little pompom-shaking). But this is different… 5. The angriest interviewer ever. I hosted a back to school style segment for Global Television and [...]
There’s been a lot of ridiculosity on The Anthology’s ten most ridiculous moments of 2011. First, there was an invisible man, then there was a Sasquatch, then MC Hammer, and then the world’s most beautiful picnic spot. Which brings us to… 6. A whole new meaning to “Shake your pompom.” Erika Renfrew has scouted many fashion shows and events for The [...]
