For the past week I have been heckled (by my own mother) to post an outfit that incorporates the Canucks.
Herewith, my husband’s old school Canucks t-shirt (this logo is my favourite).
And a little sequin number I got at the antique fair.
How do you show your support for your home team? Do you actually, like, watch their games and stuff?
I went to an antique fair today with the intention of getting a bookshelf, a writing desk and a dresser. I found none of those things.
Instead, I found this little ditty.
It’s the perfect mix of Eastern Europe and the 80s, two things I love very much.
And it’s way cooler than a bookshelf. Funny how you can go looking for something and be perfectly happy you didn’t find it, isn’t it?
If you asked Leroy, he’d probably tell you Whistler is his new favourite place.
Much of it, like Lost Lake, is still covered in snow. And so, so beautiful.
He spent forever running and digging and having the time of his life. Right up until a cranky old corgie ruined his fun.
What is it about the snow that’s just so, so much fun?
Throw a party with lots of wine and lots of cheese.
Which is exactly what my friend Briony (the world’s hottest accountant) did.
She looked so cute in her thrifted tank top and Camper shoes.
Don’t you think?
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.
Want to contribute to the Anthology? (Of course you do!) Send me a note at theanthology@live.com. Thanks again, Len.
‘That’s the way I like it’ pretty much sums up why I love getting clothes custom made. I can get wool slacks that fit how I want them to.
Lined with just the right shade of fuchsia silk.
Simply because I want it that way.
Four are in Vancouver, one is in Seattle. Where are yours?
1. Deluxe Junk in Gastown, Vancouver
2. Pesky Peacocks on 16th, Vancouver
3. Bohemia Gallery (3243 Main Street, Vancouver)
4. Legends (4366 Main Street, Vancouver)
5. Fremont Vintage Mall in Seattle
(The storefront image, by the way, is actually from my trip to Barcelona.)
Sonja, for insisting I buy a jumpsuit. And Melissa, who introduced me to Pesky Peacocks where I got it.
I should also thank my ma and sis for the necklace I’m wearing — I made it using my mom’s pendant from the sixties and pretty, pretty stones from my sister’s collection.
Thanks team.
This is what my friend Anji wore to a Saturday morning brunch a little while ago.
Love the colours and layers and textures. Take a look at another one of her outfits here.
