Interview | Back to School Style on Global TV

So I hosted a segment for Global Television and since the clip is not yet available online I thought I’d give you a little freeze-frame recap.

First, I went shopping at Metropolis at Metrotown with two high school students where they picked out back-to-school outfits and I discovered that I would be far from cool in grade 11. (Long skirts in homeroom? Am I insane?)

Then we appeared live in studio where we went through some of fall’s biggest trends — colour blocking (see Sierra’s pants), warm, fiery colours (check out her scarf) and desert boots for men (Mark’s rocking them).

And then I made a face like a little chipmunk. Because animal-inspired things are big right now too.

Thank you Global BC! Thank you Mark and Sierra! Thank you Olivia and Steve! Thank you Metropolis at Metrotown, Banana Republic, Forever 21 and Town Shoes! Let’s do this again sometime, mmkay?

Interview | Back-to-School Steeze on Global Television

I’m spending a lot of quality time in your living room this week. First, alongside a gaggle of male models. And now with a couple of stylin’ students.

We shot a segment for Global Television earlier this week and in it, judging by this shot, I get very, very angry about back-to-school clothes. (I didn’t yell at that poor student, I swear.)

We shot at Forever 21, Banana Republic and Town Shoes at Metropolis at Metrotown and it was all captured by Doug the cameraman and produced by fellow Point Grey Secondary School alumnus Olivia Mowatt (holler!).

So grab a triple shot of espresso and watch Global BC Friday morning. I’ll be there live in studio.

Interview | CityTV’s Breakfast Television

Back to school will always be my favourite time of year. (Even though I’m now the opposite of a student.)

breakfast-television-back-to-school-style

And the best part about back to school? Well, it’s not finding out which homeroom you’re in. It’s the new clothes, amirite? I stopped by Breakfast Television to talk men’s back-to-school style with host Dawn Chubai.

It was an early, early morning for me. (I don’t know how you hosts do it.) But I at least looked awake, thanks to Amanda Gangoso‘s makeup aristry.

While I was chilling, as I do often, with my male model entourage, one of them asked if I still get nervous when I do these things.

I have a confession to make: this was my very first time doing live television (and it’s a very different beast from pre-taped) so the answer would be yes. But it was fun! So, so, so fun.

breakfast-television-still-shot

As you can tell by this photo. This shot just might be one of the all-time best (thank you, Lisa, for snapping it!). Just look at the facial expressions on each and every one of us. Take a good, long look. Study them, if you will (we are talking about back to school, after all). I think that’s some Blue Steel on the left.

Want to see the segment? Wondering which of these models is single? You’ll find it all here.

Thank you Breakfast Television! Thank you Banana Republic, Gap and Old Navy! Thank you Libby and Lisa! Thank you Michael, Holden, Chris and Yannick!

Interview | Style’s in the bag

Things that made the front page of the Province today: Obama, the EU and my face.

Take a look at the segment for me, will ya? I’m in a backcountry lodge in the Rockies at the moment and the internet connection here is soooo slow.

Thanks again, Dana Gee, for making the shoot so much fun.

Interview | Wear short dresses! And other fashion tips from The Anthology

vancouver-based-fashion-expert-kelsey-dundon-at-banana-republic-talks-styles-to-suit-different-figures

Summer means dresses. So I stopped by Banana Republic to talk to the Province’s Dana Gee about picking the perfect dress for your body type (hourglass, curvy, boyish, petite, pear-shaped, you name it). Take a look…

And if you want more tips and tricks for dressing your body type, you’ll find them in the print edition of the Province (which I guarantee my mother is circulating throughout her office as I type this).

Thank you, Dana, for making the interview so much fun!

As Seen on TV

All right, my friends, I promised you this video (and you promised you wouldn’t laugh too hard at it). So without further ado, this is the segment I filmed with The Express (thanks again, team!). Can you count the number of times I twirl around? I lose track after 624,482.

Thank you, Graeme, for your technical wizardry! And thanks again Melanie Pineda for a fun shoot!

Caption that still frame

While I can’t yet treat you to a digital viewing of my segment on The Express (in which I twirled around approximately 8,000,000 in three minutes), I can treat you to this still frame, where I appear to be making eyes at an invisible man wearing a fur coat. Now that’s good television.

Thank you, Jerome Insorio, for grabbing that shot!

Last time I appeared on television…

I was dancing my heart out at the Roxy (thank you Jessi Cruickshank for that opportunity). And the time before that? I was on the news — in tears — because Prince William was visiting Vancouver (I was twelve. He waved at me. Don’t pretend like you wouldn’t react the same way.)

Which means you’re in for a real treat. Because today I return to the airwaves.

Set your PVRs, Vancouverites. My interview/vintage shopping adventure airs on The Express on Channel four at 3:00, 6:00 and 10:00. Fret not, far-off friends, it’ll be up on Youtube in due course.

Thanks again, Melanie Pineda, for a really fun shoot. And many thanks, Erin Shaw, for your words of encouragement!
