Give | Spreading the Valentine’s Day Love

 

KD CTV VDay

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!

Home | The Festive and The Furious

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!

Pinstagram | Life’s a beast

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).

Beasts

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.

Emily Carr

Art attack! TPacked walls at the Emily Carr Student Art Sale + a rather magnificent piece.

Interior

Rattan-a-tat-tat. The beautiful change area at Eastwood Cycle Sanctuary + a beautiful outdoor space.

run camp

A view and a half. Stunning False Creek during a morning run + a camp spot that beats any hotel.

prints

Blue and yellow. A floral print by KT and Paul + an eclectic home.

P.S. There are more photos where these came from so add The Anthology on Facebook and follow @KelseyDundon on Instagram.

My Home for the Holidays

Screen Shot 2014-12-07 at 2.27.48 PM

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).

Screen Shot 2014-12-07 at 2.27.33 PM

It’s essentially a giant tower of tinsel covered in colourful ornaments and chalkboard baubles.

Santa would totally approve. Take a look!

Tune In | Timmy’s Telethon!

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.

Pinstagram | Selfies for the holidays

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).

To the rescue! A behind-the-scenes look at a promo I shot for Wardrobe Rescue, which I’m doing with Metropolis at Metrotown and Global TV + a beautifully embellished skirt I’d love to have in my wardrobe.

Moody greens. A beach in Tofino + a forest in the morning light.

Orange you glad? A trip to the pumpkin patch + a stylish young lady rocking pumpkin orange.

The holidays! I dressed my house up early this year for a holiday decor shoot for Canvas by Canadian Tire at my place + a whole world of wreaths.

Werk! My very cluttered desk (with a ring from Vincent Park) + a far less cluttered workspace.

Selfie! How did Kumiko Ide and I finish a day spent running a social media boot camp at SFU? With a selfie(!) + an inspiringly bright desk.

P.S. There are more photos where these came from so add The Anthology on Facebook and follow @KelseyDundon on Instagram.

Style | Bonne Nuit by The Sleep Shirt and Rebecca Bree

I used to be an old t-shirt and oversized flannel pants kind of sleeper. But these days I’ve stepped it up a notch with my cat print set by PJ Salvage (they’re the cat’s pyjamas – ha!) and my menswear-inspired set by J.Crew.

Now if I wanted to step it up two notches I’d opt for the limited edition Bonne Nuit set by my friend Alexandra Suhner Isenberg of the Sleep Shirt and the lovely Rebecca Rawlinson of Rebecca Bree. The shirt and sleep mask are made in Canada of Japanese cotton. And they’re designed to last through many winters of hibernating.

Sleep tight!
