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 [...]
In my neck of the woods, winter doesn’t mean snow and ice and blizzards. It means rain and rain and rain. So, like a kid on a snow day, I get really excited about a few sparkly flakes. And that, my friends, is why I love the mountains. Especially trudging from frozen lake to frozen [...]
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 [...]
In her latest dispatch from London, Katie Burnett, a friend, actress and writer, shares the secrets of Spitalfields Market… Remember that adorable film with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts? Notting Hill was it? Loved it. So cute. Know it off by heart – “I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy” etc. And what huge [...]
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 [...]
Here’s to popping champagne and balloons! Here’s to sparklers and sparkly dresses! Here’s to making — and breaking — New Year’s Resolutions! Happy 2012, mes amis! [Photo found here.]
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 [...]
