As we count down The Anthology’s highlights of the past year we’re seeing a lot of ridiculous randomness (10. an invisible man, 9. the friendly Sasquatch, 8. psychedelic pants, 7. alpine picnic, 6. pompom-shaking, and 5. fashion passion). Which brings us to… 4. The sheer joy on this man’s face. There is one band that I would see every weekend [...]
So far there have been two fur-clad gentlemen on The Anthology’s ten most ridiculous moments of 2011 (check out the invisible and not-so-invisible). Which means we have now arrived at… 8. The MC Hammer dance in some MC Hammer pants. I love a good “before and after” and you love a good “before and after”, but let’s face it, the [...]
A little while ago I asked you guys what you were wishing for and boy did you send in some great ideas. None of you said you were wishing for world peace, mind you, but your picks are so fun and unexpected I won’t hold that against you… Allie 1. A lovely little heart ring by Verameat (also available at [...]
I have long been a fan of Kermodi Living Art (don’t you think this would make the perfect office plant?). So I fell hard for Kermodi’s understated, almost terrarium-esque ornaments at Vancouver Special. One of them is now nestled among the mason jars (used as tea light candle holders) and cake plates (used as candle stands) on the [...]
It was one of the trickier shows Braden Paul has shot — there was no photo pit and the place was packed. But he captured some up close and personal photos of We Are the City at the Rio last weekend. Their indie rock sound is pretty, pretty, pretty so it’s no wonder the trio from Kelowna, BC [...]
The Anthology’s list of what’s new, what’s now and what’s next… 1. Dace in spades. One of Vancouver’s favourite designers Dace is holding a sample sale with Becky Brisco and Pure Soy Candles Thursday, December 15, 11am – 8pm. Everything’s up to 70% off at 300 – 76 W. 6th Avenue, Vancouver. 2. Tweet! Tweet! Flare Magazine is having a Twitter party [...]
I’m a sucker for colour. Especially the colour purple (holler Oprah!). So this electric purple sweater from JNBY called to me. Naturally I paired it with gold (holler Lakers!). For realz, it’s my new favourite staple. It’s light enough to layer like crazy. Polished enough to wear to work with slacks. And cool enough to wear with [...]
A sponsored post. Part pop-up boutique, part shopping party, the Latest Scoop is a sparkly, sequin-y treasure trove of holiday style and home décor. The three Vancouver boutiques are only open for a few more weeks so I stopped in to their West Fourth location to scout out my favourite holiday looks. Like this one. [...]
Ta da! You’d never guess this jacket used to be this sexy little number, would ya? Just goes to show that scrunching up the sleeves goes a long way. And piling on the texture (via a striped t-shirt) and the colour (via a rust-coloured necklace) makes the mint seem subdued. But the real magic was [...]
By Erika Renfrew What’d you do on Sunday? Sip pretty cocktails? Sample mini cakes? Or did you perform acrobatics while hanging from the ceiling? I could never do that last one, but two out of three isn’t bad. This weekend wrapped up the Vancouver Fashion Showcase, an event spotlighting 30 of the city’s top boutiques and [...]
