I have two addictions — sugar and my phone. (Actually, if you count vintage clothes, Twitter and my iPod, I have way more than two addictions, but we’ll ignore those for the moment.) Last week, Mobilicity hosted me at the Cupcake Girls set/bakery for a delicious little cupcake-icing demo, which we shot on Mobilicity’s smart [...]
By Erika Renfrew As a natural brunette, I could argue that blondes don’t always have more fun. I can’t, however, say the same when it comes to those California girls. LA-based designer Lauren Elaine presented her S/S 2012 Swimwear collection at Vancouver Fashion Week. The designer also happens to be a model/actress and in true Hollywood [...]
When you filled out The Anthology’s reader survey, you told me loud and clear what you’d like to see on The Anthology: more writing, more photos, more frequent posts, more of my boy Roy (see below). Thanks a million! You also had some questions, comments and requests, a few of which I thought I’d address right [...]
The Anthology’s list of links to what’s new, what’s now and what’s next… Line ‘em up! Versace’s collection for H&M will launch in Canada on Saturday, November 19th at Pacific Centre in Vancouver, Toronto Eaton Centre, Bloor Street, Yorkdale Mall, and Downtown Montreal. Studded leather jacket, anyone? Shooting star. Braden Paul, photographer extraordinaire and contributor to The [...]
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, [...]
By Erika Renfrew Here are a few of my favourite things: fashion (obviously), music, art and now, blogging. So put all of these things in one funky loft-like setting and voila! Paradise. The evening celebrated the A.D.F.M. store launch, an online lifestyle shop that blends art, design, fashion and music under one seriously creative roof. [...]
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 [...]
Three cheers for film festivals! The minute I got back to Vancouver I picked up my VIFF media pass and jumped straight into the film fest fun. Last night was the premier of Nash, the Documentary (thank you Tiffany and the Donnelly Group for the invitation!). Even I found the story of Canada’s favourite basketball [...]
In The Anthology’s A-list column (“A” stands for Anthology, in case you haven’t had your coffee yet) we tabulate a few of the very best things in life. Let’s count down the ten most fun, relaxing things to do on a lazy long weekend. It’s (eep!) the last one of summer, so let’s make the [...]
In her fourth dispatch from London, Katie Burnett, a friend, actress and writer, shares her favourite way to spend a Friday night in London Town: at the theatre… Living in London might be incredibly expensive, but saving money for the theatre is a must. Luckily, in London the theatre isn’t just world-class, it can be affordable. Sure, [...]
