Viva Mexico!

When we were in Mexico last week, we stayed at a resort in Playa del Carmen. Now don’t get me wrong, it was beautiful, but I love Mexico Mexico.
The part where pesos (not American dollars) are the most common form of currency.

Places like Cuernavaca, Mexico City and Valladolid, a town that is beyond picturesque.

We stopped at Valladolid – [...]

When I was in Paris

I stayed in a converted artist’s studio on Rue d’Amsterdam near the Place de Clichy (can I say I “lived” there? I was there for a month).

Every day I would walk through a gate that looked almost identical to this one, carrying my groceries, my school books or whatever I picked up from Printemps.

If you could fit in my suitcase

I’d take you with me. But alas, I’m heading to the Riviera Maya without you.
The Anthology will still be updated regularly, it’ll just take me a bit longer to respond to your emails (theanthology@live.com) and tweets.

I’ll be sure to send you a postcard.

T minus one week

until I head off to Mexico. And I could not be more excited.

The weather forecast calls for rain but I am a born and bred Vancouverite so I’m not going to let a little sky water stop me.

When I went a few years ago it stormed every afternoon for an hour. But that only added to the [...]

Garance, this has got to stop

because your photos of Rio are killing me. Wish I were there. Now.

Although I would like to be back in time for the Vancouver Olympics. Please and thank you.

Take me to Montreal

Just try to outbid me at the Hope in Haiti auction Wednesday night. The spa packages, the Opus Hotel in Montreal, the baseball signed by Alex Rodriguez. Yes, that Alex Rodriguez.
I’ve got my eye on them all. Plus, The WZRDZ, DJ Flipout, and DJ Soo will be there. And so will your favourite bloggers.
A few tickets are still [...]

If you’re a foodie en route to Spain this year

Then my friend Surina has a plea for you: submit a reservation request to El Bulli. Now.

The world’s best restaurant only takes reservations in January for the entire year. And these reservations are very, very hard to get.

Which means even if you submitted your request on New Year’s Day there’s no guarantee you’d be eating there [...]

Take me to Buenos Aires

Or at the very least, buy me the April issue of Cosas Moda, which features a spread on the colourful, quirky fashions of Buenos Aires.

Ahhhh… to live by the sea

It would be a dream come true.

Spent the weekend at Semiahmoo Resort in Washington and it reminded me how wonderful it is to be inside and hear the waves crash on the shore. Leroy loved it too. But only because he didn’t actually have to go in the water.

The Anthology’s (by no means comprehensive) guide to Istanbul

Jenny writes:
My boyfriend and I are going to Turkey next month (YAY!) and was wondering if you had any tips for us. We’re going on a pretty tight budget and are only staying for about 10 days. We’re flying into Istanbul and don’t really know where we should go. Any suggestions?… I really enjoy reading [...]
