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).

Army green

#OOTD. Wearing an Usher shirt to the Bieber concert + a more dressed-up take on army green.

Tiles and beach glass

Sea glass. A colourful mosaic scene of Vancouver + colourful beach glass.

Blues

Icy blues. I pulled bright whites and light blues at Club Monaco for a recent trend segment + an icy blue look that gives me chills.

Babies and beasts

Babies and beasts. A typical scene on my office floor + one of my favourite things: a napping baby.

Ice cream

We all scream for…I made ice cream sandwiches with two flavours from Earnest Ice Cream + some sweet lettering.

Bookmark | DeSmitten Design Blog

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

I admire minimalism, perhaps because I am not a minimalist. My instincts lean toward more so I respect those who gravitate towards less.

Maybe that’s why I find DeSmitten so refreshing.

By Brooklyn-based fashion designer and writer Christina De Smet, it’s crisp, clean and very tightly edited. It’s filled with fashion (which makes sense).interior-inspiration-house-d-by-Bataille-iBens-1-1

Peppered with interior design, beauty and most importantly…

Style | Spring Trend Report

DSC_0261

Spring! It’s almost spring! Which means it’s time to peel yourself out of that rain slicker you’ve been wearing all winter and slip into something a little lighter and brighter.

DSC_0232

Like, say, some deluxe denim from Club Monaco with a pair of flats from Aldo (on the left), a dress with lots of lace in unexpected places from BCBGMAXAZRIA (middle) and ’70s statements from Michael Kors (right).

DSC_0268

These were three of the biggest trends I featured in my spring trend report on Global BC.

DSC_0287

And while this is how I look on air — in a dress with studded sleeves from Picadilly Canada, shoes from Aldo, necklace from Adia Kibur and Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella…

DSC_0185

…this is what I look like when I’m pulling it together backstage: wearing one of my favourite concert tees (yes, it’s New Kids on the Block and yes, I went to their show as an adult), J.Crew jeans and high tops c/o of Ecco.

Watch the segment here. Thanks for having me, Global BC and Metropolis at Metrotown! Thanks for the photos, Zoe Tisshaw! Thanks for your help, Jerome Insorio!

Pinstagram | Stripes and Strawberries

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).

Baby wearing

Like Zach. I owe the fact that I’m able to work with a three-month-old baby to that BabyBjorn she loves so much + a variation on the same theme.

curtains

Studio space. The beautiful Union Bridal + a workspace I wouldn’t mind calling my own.

Pink accents

Pop of pink. My officemate wears a lot of pink + so does that office chair.

Home and someone elses

Frozen in time. My living room (as photographed by my toddler) + a living space with a similar vibe.

stripes

Stripes and strawberries. Chamomile tea and cheddar bunnies are an unusual food pairing, I’ll give you that much + a far less unusual pairing: stripes and bloomers.

Style | Wear Layers Well

Kelsey Dundon Global Television Spring Trends 2

They say if you don’t like the weather in Vancouver you should wait five minutes. I say you should layer up. For my latest Wear It Well segment on Global Television I brought in three of my favourite takes on layering for these not-quite-spring days. The first look? A super minimal take on a tissue-weight turtleneck and long, heavy cardigan from Oak + Fort.

Banana look

The second? A suiting vest layered with lace and cashmere from Banana Republic.

Spring Trends Global Television 4

The third? A floral dress worn as a tunic and warmed up with a linen jacket and blanket scarf from Plenty.

See? You don’t even have to wait a minute.

Thanks for having me, Global Television and Metropolis at Metrotown! And thanks, Hayley Hudson, for the photos!

Pinstagram | Bring your kid to work day

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).

KD and office

Workspace. I brought my baby with me to do a pull for a segment, which technically makes that a bring-your-kid-to-work day + a home office I’d become a Kardashian for.

Necklace and Alexa

Colours of the year. A necklace (from LOFT) in serenity and rose quartz + Alexa Chung in similar Pantone-approved tones.

Hearts

I heart it. Valentine’s Day wins my heart every time + a print just dripping with pink.

Kids clothes

Like a hurricane. My toddler likes to dress herself + a kid’s wardrobe that’s neater than mine could ever be.

bed

Reading in bed. This is what she got all dressed up for + an adorable earthy kid’s room.

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

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 | 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.
