I picked a name out of a hat (so low-tech, I know) and the winner of the beautiful Jenny Andrews Triangle Bag is…
Ellen Z.! Congratulations! I hope it joins you on many adventures to far-off places.
Thank you, Jenny Andrews, for sponsoring an amazing giveaway!
P.S. See you all at the Guess Robson event! (How am I even going to sleep tonight? I’m so excited.)

The best thing about long skirts? They take whirling and twirling to a whole new level.
This particular one is vintage.
And very, very leopard-y. Kinda makes you wonder who wore it back in the day, huh?
Whoever she was, she loved glamour. I’d bet my new Rosegold sandals on it.
P.S. Jenny Andrews wants to give you a gorgeous leather bag. We pick a winner on Tuesday!
P.P.S. Have you RSVP’d for the Guess event yet? It’s on Wednesday and I’m kinda really super excited to see you there.
I spent the weekend on Galiano Island doing downward-facing dog with the lovely ladies of Amrita Yoga. (And then I spent the next few days feeling really, really sore.) You’ll find my post about the adventure on VitaminDaily.
Thanks again, Elle and Andrea, for an amazing weekend!
P.S. Mark your calendar, Vancouverites, because I would love to see you next Wednesday!
The Vancouver designer is such a fan of all you lovely Anthology readers that she made one of her uber popular Triangle Bags just for you.
Handmade of super soft recycled leather and lined in lavender silk, it’s almost too pretty to use. Almost.
The perfect home for your cosmetics, it stands 3.5″ tall x 8.5″ long x 3″ deep, and retails for $60.00.
Want to win it?
For one entry: Comment on this post and tell us what miracle cosmetics you cannot leave home without. (My MAC Penultimate Eye Liner is very well traveled.)
For two entries: Write on The Anthology’s Facebook wall.
For three entries: Holler @TheAnthology on Twitter.
The contest is open to readers worldwide. The lucky winner will be chosen on Tuesday, April 5th. Good luck!
The coolest sweater ever. It’s leather. It’s lovely. It’s from Australian vintage shop re:new.
My rings ‘n things, on the other hand, are from different parts of the world — the top two bracelets are vintage, the bottom one is from Milan (thank you, Briony!) and my giant ring is from Istanbul.
P.S. Facebook is all over the world too. Add The Anthology.
I’m going to be repping Guess! Not as a supermodel, mind you. But as a party host.
You’re invited to an evening of cocktails and blogging! (It’s every bit as glamourous as it sounds.) Wednesday, April 6th at Guess on Robson. Come by! Say hi to some of your favourite Vancouver fashion bloggers — A Haute Mess, Style Struck, Alicia Fashionista et moi. And, most importantly, support FITE.
See you there!
And chose the winner of the $100 Shopbop gift card! (Thank you, Youtube, for generating this still frame.)
Congratulations!
P.S. If you’re in Vancouver and feel like clearing out your closet for a good cause, The Fashionista’s Ball could use your help.
Even more fun than unflattering “before” shots are dogtastic “after” shots.
I shortened my vintage secretary dress (and by “I” I mean “my tailor”).
Wore it with a vintage jacket and Givenchy tights to a girlfriend’s baby shower (congratulations KJ!).
And it looks so gosh-darned great, I’d be taking too much credit if I said I had anything to do with it — my sister bought it for me and my tailor did all the hard work.
But my pup’s poor manners? Those I can take full credit for.
P.S. Want to expand your music collection and help Japan? You’ll love this.
Because I know you love nothing more than a good, unflattering “before” shot…
I give you these. Which are, admittedly, nowhere near as bad as the worst.
But still, you can understand why I’d crop my head out of these shots. I’ve taken this vintage dress to the tailor so stay tuned for the “after” shot.
P.S. Want another little something to brighten your day? Enter to win a $100 Shopbop gift card!
A Shopbop giveaway!
That’s right, my friends, Shopbop.com wants to give you a $100 gift card!
And while I may not be able to enter the contest, I can dream about it. Because I’ve got sunshine on my mind, I’d use the gift card to buy swimwear by Red Carter, Ondade Mar or Tyler Rose. Or maybe I’d just head straight to the Shopbop sale.
For one entry: Comment on this post and tell us what bikini destination you’re dreaming of. (Those of you who live on the beach in Malibu, it’s okay to say your backyard.)
For two entries: Write on The Anthology’s Facebook wall.
For three entries: Holler @TheAnthology on Twitter.
The contest is open to readers worldwide (the gift card is in USD). The lucky winner will be chosen on Wednesday, March 23. Good luck!
