Style | Wear It Well

Global 9

Knitwear is having a moment. And I whole-heartedly endorse that, especially the luxe head-to-toe knitwear worn by the likes of Gigi Hadid.

Global5

So to kick off Wear It Well, a new segment I’m doing with Global Television and Metropolis at Metrotown, I celebrated all things knit.

Global10

What if you’re petite? What if you’re full-figured? What’s on trend? Viewers asked and I answered here.

The work look on the left is from LOFT, the Gigi Hadid-inspired look in the middle is from Roots and the long cardigan and jeans (tough to see in the above shot, I know) are from Bench.

Thanks, Hayley, for the photos!

Pinstagram | Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Pear?

The Anthology’s Pinstagram column marries the dream (Pinterest) and the reality (Kelsey Dundon’s Instagram photos of places and faces in and around Vancouver).

juice and tart

Juicy. A thirst-quenching treat from Commodity Juicery + a pear tart.

Walls

Climbing the walls. My little monkey on the world’s coolest climbing wall + adorable wallpaper, which isn’t actually custom wallpaper made of that kid’s art, but the work of Gael Davrinche.

dog pic

Throwback. A print from a campaign I creative directed that hangs in my living room (read more about that campaign here) + a home so full of windows there would be no place to hang art at all.

office

The dream vs. the reality. My office always looks insane when I’m in the middle of a project + an office where everything is — enviably — in its place.

P.S. There are more photos where these came from so follow @KelseyDundon on Instagram.

Hey, baby!

W and E

It’s been busy — and sleepless — around here. But it’s also been really cute and cuddly so I’m not complaining.

Pinstagram | Art Supplied

The Anthology’s Pinstagram column marries the dream (Pinterest) and the reality (Kelsey Dundon’s Instagram photos of places and faces in and around Vancouver).

Florals

In a cinch. A #tbt to when I wore elastic-waisted pants because I wanted to and not because I had to (vest c/o Patagonia, jacket from Danier, pants from Anthropologie) + a floral dress with a cinched waist.

Paint and art

Artiste. A painter in her studio + a pop art print.

Usher

Yeah! The best wedding-themed card I’ve ever seen (at Front) + electric love.

Bioderma

No-makeup look. My favourite after-segment ritual is taking off my stage makeup (Bioderma is such a drugstore miracle!) + beautiful bottles.

tutu

Come as you are. A Halloween costume made entirely of my kid’s everyday wardrobe + a little one with similar fashion sense.

Bookmark | The Fresh Exchange

In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web.

Own_Your_Dreams_01

I’ve said it before (twice) and I’ll say it again: graphic designers have the best blogs. It’s all about the imagery after all — even though I make a living as a writer, I get that — and they have the imagery thing down pat.

London_011

Take The Fresh Exchange for example, a blog by the graphic design duo — husband and wife actually — behind the branding firm Wild Measure. It’s all about their creative process, travel, fashion, you know…all the good things in life.

Wildsam_Field_guides_02

The photos are beautiful, the write-ups heartfelt, the effect inspiring.

So bookmark The Fresh Exchange already and bookmark The Anthology while you’re at it.

Style | Falling for fall/winter

Geox Jacket

Fall/winter seems to be everyone’s favourite time for fashion. Maybe because you have to wear so much of it in order to brave the elements? Or is it just the size of the fall fashion issues that get everyone drooling? Or the prospect of holiday parties and the dresses that go along with them?

Global Fall:Winter Trends Oct 15

All I know is fall/winter clothes get people really excited. Which made me (and my bump) especially excited to share three key trends for the season on Global TV featuring beautiful pieces from Geox (like the jacket pictured at the top), Club Monaco, Plenty, BCBGMAXAZRIA (like the faux suede top I’m holding above), Bench., and Ecco.

Watch the full clip here.

Celebrate | Cheers to All Hallow’s Eve

1515773_588162051310279_2136294898_n

I can’t fit my go-to costume this year, but I can sip some spooktacularly gruesome-looking mocktails. Like these two-ingredient masterpieces: just 7-Up and grenadine (plus a baby medicine dispenser or two). You could add a little liquor to adultify them a little, I’m sure.

You’ll find a million more Halloween party ideas — like witch hat toss and pin the googly eyes on the monster — that I shared on CTV Morning Live here.

Home | Parisian-sized Glamour in a Paris-sized Apartment

cb318040b04d

There’s been some talk around our place of redoing our home. A soon-to-arrive baby seems to do that to people. So I’ve been spending a lot of time researching architects and designers, and studying their minimalist portfolios.

Then I stumbled, yet again, on this kitchen designed by Jean-Louis Deniot (photo from Elle Decor, in case the watermark didn’t give that away). I don’t remember where I first found it (Pinterest probably), but I love everything about it. It has such high-impact glamour in such a tiny space, and makes me think minimalism is overrated — over-the-top is where it’s at.

Wear/Where | Dark Florals

Floral kimono and wallpaper

Florals? For fall? Groundbreaking. (No, really.) When they’re deep and dark and as moody as these are, they’re awesome in autumn.

Wear: A flowy kimono with your favourite mom jeans (as seen here).

Where: A bit of wow for your walls by Ellie Cashman.

Pinstagram | Pink, Emerald and Gold

The Anthology’s Pinstagram column marries the dream (Pinterest) and the reality (Kelsey Dundon’s Instagram photos of places and faces in and around Vancouver).

Carousel and gold

Gilded age. The carousel at Seattle’s Woodland Zoo + shiny mid-century modern decor.

Pacific Northwest

Cool water. The fountain at Seattle City Center during an early fall day + the cool waters of what looks like the Pacific Northwest.

Emerald Green

Green machine. I showcased an emerald green baby bump during a recent trend presentation on Global TV + a very friendly dinosaur room.

QE and London

Bright lights. The lobby of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre during a performance of Rigoletto + a powder puff of a restaurant in London.

Black and White

Black and white. Above and behind the scenes at a recent Wardrobe Rescue makeover I did on Global TV (thanks for the photo, Zoe!) + an illustration that would make pretty cool wallpaper for a powder room.
