I just made my own moccasins.
Totally average weekend activity, right?
You get together with your girlfriends, you drink mimosas on a sunny patio…
And you make your own shoes.
Whatever.
It was all part of a workshop taught by the very patient, very talented Dan of Rickard Guy (who’s moving to New York soon, mes amis, so if you [...]
Fighting juvenile diabetes? Well, what d’ya know, so am I!
This Sunday I’ll be at the Walk to Cure Diabetes with nine-year-old wunderkind Jack Stuart, who has been battling the disease since he was five.
But that’s not all I’ll be doing.
There’s also a Rickard Guy moccasin workshop (photo by Michelle Ford).
An old roommate’s art show, dinner with friends, [...]
Oh my! There are so many new goodies up on The Anthology Boutique (which is now super fancy and super Etsy-ed out).
Shop your hearts out, friends! And send me your feedback at theanthology@live.com

What a way to end the season. Vancouver Opera’s take on Puccini’s classic Madama Butterfly is beautiful and brilliant, not to mention, brightly coloured. And I was there to blog all about it (nerd alert!).
Before taking our seats, opera bloggers John, Gus, Stacey and I had a backstage tour. We weren’t allowed to touch (or twirl) these [...]
He’s inspired thousands. He’s raised $35,000 for diabetes research. And he’s only nine years old.
Jack Stuart, captain of Team Jack of Hearts, will be leading the charge at The Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes in Vancouver. His goal? To raise $20,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
And I’m on his team.
Want to help him achieve his goal? [...]
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 [...]
