Chances are, I’d be playing Mexican Institute of Sound.
It’s sunny outdoor fun music. Just the right blend of upbeat and offbeat.

I wear my bright red Queen’s sweatpants from the year 2000 (best gift ever, Laura, Anji and KJ).
But when we go in the morning, my walk wear is work wear.
The pendant was my mom’s brooch from the sixties, which means it can fasten to tube tops and jumpsuits too.
The skirt’s vintage — it’s made of really thick felt, but what I love most about it is its wacky and wonderful colour.
Leroy will turn out to be a well disciplined dog.
Because whenever I see him pull a stunt like this I just laugh.
And then I take pictures.
Is potting soil really that comfy, pup?
And now that spring’s (finally) here a sun dress “after” shot seems about right.
Took me a while to figure out if I’d chop this bad boy or not (why did I ever hesitate?).
Even when it was longer, it screamed “music festival” to me. Now, I think it’d be pretty perfect for my trip to Turkey too.
If it came from a one-of-a-kind custom-made bar. Especially if that bar were the first piece commissioned from François-Xavier Lalanne by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
It’s equal parts sculptural and functional. And would look lovely in my living room. The oval piece is a bottle rack, the horn in the middle is a shaker, the sphere beside it is an ice bucket and the cylinder is a vase.
From the Collection Yves Saint Laurent et Pierre Bergé at Christie’s (if you visit the site, please note the price realized). Thank you, Kyle.
Thankfully I circled back to get this men’s battledress jacket.
Note the date sewn into the inside.
It’s so much more hardcore than the pretty little sequin sweater and razzle-dazzle-y jacket I also got that day.
I would obsess and obsess for weeks (months? years?) if I didn’t go back to get it. Are you like that? Please tell me I’m not alone.
One, because I’m spending the weekend in the city. And two, because I’m going to see Bloc Party tomorrow and A Weekend in the City is probably my favourite Bloc Party album.
Bloc Party’s Banquet actually tops my list of 25 most played songs on iTunes followed by:
2. Tonight I Have to Leave It (The Russian Futurists remix) by the Shout Out Louds
3. Pulling Our Weight by the Radio Dept.
4. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk
5. I’d Rather Dance With You by Kings of Convenience
Which surprised me. There’s no Phoenix, no solo Erlend Oye, no Backstreet Boys in the mix. Does your computer know more about your musical taste than you do?
Seriously, tell me that you like my watch and I’ll turn bright red.
Feature me as Style Spy’s Girl of the Week and I’m just downright bashful. Thanks Erica, Aliyah and the rest of the Style Spy team for the very kind words!
Which makes it that much more fun.
Found this ruffled beauty in Seattle’s Fremont Vintage Mall, one of my five favourite vintage shops.
And had it altered — you can see the before shots here.
So glad I didn’t shorten the sleeves. Sometimes all the frills and gimmicks add a little somethingsomething. Don’t you think?
The Anthology is three months old! Thank you for all your lovely comments and brilliant guest posts. And thank you for joining the Anthology on Facebook and Twitter (ahhhh technology).
Thanks for setting up the site, Dana. Couldn’t have done it without you (seriously, installing widget plugins and hard coding header images — are you kidding me?).
Now, as hard as it is to pick favourites, I’ve selected some of my most beloved posts from the past month: they’re the ones about tea-party dresses, bolo ties and reinvented wonders.
