The Anthology now has its own url!

the-anthology.com (don’t forget the hyphen)

From now on, that’s where I’ll be. Would you be so kind as to update your bookmarks and links? You’re the best.

No really. You are.

What’s even better than a guest post?

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.

I call this shot

“Puppy snot on my lens”

For obvious reasons.

Go Nucks!

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’m kinda really excited

The Anthology just got way more connected (welcome to 2009, Kelsey). 

Find the Anthology on Facebook and let’s be friends.

And the Anthology’s now on Twitter. If you are too, let’s make sweet tweets together.

See you in cyberspace!

When I listen to

Buraka Som Sistema’s remix of Lykke Li’s Dance Dance Dance I imagine myself in an open-air nightclub on the banks of the Danube.

Thanks Mike.

Success!

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?
