Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet who loves Valentine’s Day. And I don’t mean the roses and baby’s breath kind of VDay, I mean the “I Choo Choo Choose You and there’s a picture of a train” kind of Valentine’s Day. It’s so sweet, so cheesy, so full of sugar!
I stopped by CTV Morning Live with a few sappy, sassy, and sexy gifts for the Hallmark Holiday.
I hope you <3 it! Take a look here. Thanks again for having me, CTV!
In The Anthology’s Bookmark column we explore some of the most inspiring places on the wild, wild web.
I can’t understand a word of it (and Google Translate isn’t much help: “Next summer, the yard looks like you’ve probably kivemmalle”)…
…but boy, is Bambula a beautiful design blog.
Filled with design trends (house plants!), DIYs (plant hangers!), and beautiful snippets of Finnish family life…
…it makes white walls look dreamy in ways only Scandinavian design blogs can.
So bookmark Bambula already. And bookmark The Anthology while you’re at it.
[Images from Bambula, naturally.]
P.S. Beef up your list of favourite links with The Anthology’s Bookmark picks.

Lights! Glamour! Action! Right before sharing my favourite spring trends on Global Television + a night light of sorts.
Black from head to toe. Before doing a makeover with Metropolis at Metrotown on Global Television + an all-black outfit of a different stripe (which feels very Audrey Hepburn).
That’s a wrap! A bow-tiful ribbon by CANVAS with gift wrap from Papyrus + possibly the cutest way to wrap a present ever.
Santa baby. The closest we came to getting a picture with Santa this year + a vintage Christmas party invitation.
Red and green! Accidental holiday colours behind the scenes at Global Television + a very glamourous red gown.
P.S. There are more photos where these came from so add The Anthology on Facebook and follow @KelseyDundon on Instagram.
I’m a last-minute shopper. Always have been. Always will be. And I’m not alone (please tell me I’m not alone). So to help you pick out a little something for your gentlemen friends, I stopped by CTV Morning Live to share a few of my favourite things.
My picks? The include:
Traceable down-filled vest from Patagonia (which just opened their first store in Vancouver at Fourth and Maple)
Beer chocolates from Granville Island Brewing
Italian chess set from Atkinson’s
And then some! Take a look.
These florals are wild. They’ll make you feel like you’re en route to somewhere tropical and glamourous, whether you’re wearing them or hanging them up on your wall.
Wear: Gucci Pre-Fall 2015.
I love a new twist on the traditional. Like finding a whole new way to use a classic wreath in your home.
When I filmed a series of videos for Canadian Tire’s new CANVAS collection, I incorporated wreaths in a way that’s, well…
picture perfect. If I do say so myself. Take a look!

Beasts among us. Hanging with my crew (wearing my favourite rainy day in the woods look: lululemon headband, Canada Goose Hybridge Lite Hoodie, J.Crew Toothpick Cords and Cougar boots) + a beautiful, beast-ful editorial.
Art attack! TPacked walls at the Emily Carr Student Art Sale + a rather magnificent piece.
Rattan-a-tat-tat. The beautiful change area at Eastwood Cycle Sanctuary + a beautiful outdoor space.
A view and a half. Stunning False Creek during a morning run + a camp spot that beats any hotel.
Blue and yellow. A floral print by KT and Paul + an eclectic home.

Christmas came really, really early at my house this year. I’m never that organized. Unless I have to be. And this year I had to be.
Canadian Tire shot a series of videos at my place to launch the new CANVAS line. So I got super festive even decorated a tree for my kid (who is way too young to appreciate it).
It’s essentially a giant tower of tinsel covered in colourful ornaments and chalkboard baubles.
Santa would totally approve. Take a look!
Y’all are a generous bunch. Thanks to you, we raised a whopping $6,250,016 for BC Easter Seals at Timmy’s Christmas Telethon this year.
THANK YOU!!! And thank you, Team Easter Seals for having me again this year! I always have so much fun.
I’ve been working a lot with Easter Seals this year — at woman2warrior and, as evidenced by the picture above, at their terrifyingly terrifying Drop Zone.
It’s a nausea-inducing rappel down the side of an office building in downtown Vancouver.
Which, if you actually look over the edge, has a beautiful view of the water, mountains and tiny little people 20 storeys below.
I was scared. So scared.
But I did it!
And tomorrow night I’ll be supporting Easter Seals at Timmy’s Telethon, co-hosting the social desk for my third year in a row with the lovely Bianca Solterbeck (Sunday, December 7th from 6:00-8:00). Tweet at us @TimmysTelethon or holler at us on Facebook and we’ll share your stories on the air!
P.S. I’ll also be sharing behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram so follow @KelseyDundon.
