You know what I love? Photo shoots. We held this one for Sterling Shoes SS/12 campaign at Vancouver’s tiki-tastic Waldorf Hotel. And it was one heckuva way to spend a day. While my role at Northill primarily involves writing and creative concepting, it also involves holding open the hotel’s lobby door, a very important job on a hot, sunny [...]
Gotta love these before and afters. They never disappoint, do they? This “before” shot is especially mugshot (fugshot?) esque. I can’t even imagine who would have originally owned this vintage grey-and-white striped jacket before me — an escapee from Alcatraz? I would call its style “Jailbird chic” except there’s nothing really chic about it. It’s boxy, [...]
Before a calm, cool and collected live segment… …is just a touch of backstage nuttiness. (And sometimes a little on-stage nuttiness too.) But that’s what makes these things so much fun to do. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have people like Erika, who might look a little familiar, by my side. (She’s wearing a dress from [...]
I’m shooting a segment for CTV Morning Live this week. The focus? Dressing in dresses. So I stopped by Jason Matlo’s Yaletown studio to pick up a few of his because they’re so gosh-darned purdy. And I got a peek at some of his works in progress, too, which thrills me because I love nothing [...]
Red and pink are everywhere right now. (Valentines Day would be so happy to hear that!) Don’t believe me? Just ask Natalie Portman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Emma Stone… Or Jenny Andrews. The Vancouver-based leather goods designer is giving away two of her popular mini pouches (one in pink and one in red, obvi) to one [...]
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 [...]
Your living room is about to get a whole lot cooler. One of The Anthology’s favourite photographers, Braden Paul is selling prints of his photographs for a very limited time (only until January 20th) and these are just a few of my favourites. You’ll find plenty more on his website, like this one and this one, which would also make [...]
It’s not new, it’s not trendy, and it’s not unusual to see my whole family seated at one of its tables. Main Street’s Sawasdee Thai is downright fantastic and my sister Larissa Dundon picks a few of the most delicious dishes… Sawasdee’s spicy beef yum salad will tickle those taste buds at the back of [...]
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 [...]
