This summer, I went heli-hiking with the pioneers of the heli-adventure: Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH). I loved every single minute of it. Although some of those minutes, like the ones recounted below, were flat-out terrifying. I feel like I’m going to be sick. I sit down to try to stop my legs from shaking. Below me is mountainside [...]
In her third dispatch from London, Katie Burnett, a friend, actress and writer, shares her favourite stops on a Saturday in Camden Town… Just as a note to address the recent and unfortunate riots in London – Riots aren’t cool! Know what is cool? My roommate and friend Caroline getting up early, baking cupcakes, and then distributing [...]
If I had to list a few of my favourite things, that list would go a little something like this: 1) Traveling 2) Pretty, artsy things 3) Anthology readers (I’m totally sucking up — did it work? Or are you peeved I didn’t list you first?) And whatdyaknow, these earrings combine the first two things on [...]
I didn’t get it. I had no idea how a city so close to Vancouver, BC (and even closer to Vancouver, Wa) could possibly feel so different. But that was before I spent quality time in Portland. That city feels like another world because it’s all about the made-in-Portland, designed-in-Portland, brewed-in-Portland, recorded-in-Portland. And, in some [...]
In her second dispatch from London, Katie Burnett, a friend and beyond hilarious actress and writer living across the pond, retraces the places, films and books that make her most nostalgic… I grew up in Montreal. I was used to ice cold winters (my eyelashes freezing when my mother would send me out in a snowstorm for [...]
I’m in the mountains at the moment, heli-hiking/having alpine picnics. And I cannot wait to tell you all about it (I want to do this always. Forever.). P.S. We’re giving away the most gorgeous blouse from JNBY and it totally goes with those mountain ranges.
In the first of several dispatches from London, Katie Burnett, a friend and wildly effervescent actress and writer living across the pond, shares her recipe for a perfect Sunday in Brick Lane… My favourite thing to do on a Sunday in London is go to Brick Lane. I used to live right at Brick Lane and [...]
I’m visiting Portland’s Saturday Market (on Sunday), eating at some of the city’s eight gazillion food carts, and visiting craft breweries. All in the name of research, of course. Can’t wait to share my stories. [Wearing vintage crochet jacket and vintage suede shorts.] P.S. Twitter is tax-free in Oregon.
I never want to leave this deck. It is one of the most beautiful points on the Sunshine Coast and it is all mine. At least for a few short days at RockWater Secret Cove Resort. This isn’t your average cabin. In fact it isn’t a cabin at all – it’s one of RockWater’s famed [...]
Travel writing is a tough gig. I’m at RockWater Resort where I’m staying in an oceanfront tenthouse suite, eating five-course meals, getting seaside massages, and doing a little horseback riding hugging. All so I can report back to you, friends. Stay tuned for my reviews. P.S. Just in case you want to escape Vancouver after [...]
