A few of you demanded I dude-ify the Anthology. So who better to do so than Patrick of Room 907? He’s assembled one of his signature looks (from head to well-appointed toe).
My favourite part? The Tom Ford ascot.

A guest post about a city I’m desperate to visit. Before her jet lag had even worn off, Liv from It’s a Beautiful Life contributed this post about Hong Kong (with a bit of Shanghai to make me extra envious).
I was much honored to be asked by The Anthology to write a guest post; it’s been so much fun watching this blog grow and I look forward to the updates in my RSS reader every day. I recently went on a whirlwind of a trip to Asia to two very happening cities: Hong Kong and Shanghai.
I was born in Hong Kong so going back is like slipping on a pair of well-worn jeans — the comfort of familiarity sinks in as I drive past the dazzling city lights and formidable skyscrapers.
As for Shanghai, well I was a Shanghai virgin. It is fascinating city which not only shows the best of East meets West but is also a great example of China’s economic progress. Construction is everywhere, and the well-heeled Shanghainese strut their stuff on the great catwalks of Shanghai.
I’ve put together my hot list for Hong Kong – a composite of places and things I love. I hope you get to visit them soon.
Guest posts are the best posts (especially when they’re about romance, recycling and Romanelli hats). This one is from my sister-in-law Jaclyn.
I’ll be in London this June and plan to scour the streets for Kenyan-born Brian Gathii’s To-orist line filled with safari-inspired streetwear.
Think: Prince meets Kanye meets… King Tut?
With bold colours and edgy appliques each piece is perfectly prismatic.

In the beginning, there was the scarf. A gorgeous vintage scarf. And now it has become these amazing shoes.
Purchased at Te Casan in NYC (RIP), the broadway-dancer-wannabe-turned-sales-associate only had to utter the words “one of a kind” and I was sold.
Of course, it didn’t hurt that the proceeds from the scarf benefitted Oxfam, and that the line was designed specifically for Te Casan.
Or, more specifically, get the Blocked Toyo Romanelli by Still Life. My pal (and colleague) Len sent in these shots of the handcrafted Trilby, which is available at Freshman in Vancouver.
“If I wasn’t such a nerd for bicycle safety,” he says. “I would cruise all summer in one.”
Check out the making of here.

I fell asleep while watching a movie. Know what my friend Claire did on Valentine’s Day? She spent the weekend in a castle in the southeast of Ireland.
Her boyfriend Fiachra took her to the 800 year-old Waterford Castle located on its own island.
So beautiful, even its window latches are works of art.
