Kendall Barber, Founder & Editor

After six years on the west coast, Kendall traded the beach for the sunny skies of Edmonton, Alberta. Known for delighting in the good life and loving fashion, Kendall quickly identified the need to celebrate local Edmonton happenings, fashion and style. She began pouring her love for local boutiques, designers, food and events onto CityandDale.com. When Kendall’s not completely immersed in Edmonton’s style scene, you’ll catch her running in the river valley, sipping lattes with her man or jetting off for the weekend (hello: Barcelona, New York, Paris). She’s a big believer of traveling far and returning home to make Edmonton a great city.

 Priya Kaliandasani, Contributor

Once Upon A Time a girl named Priya Kaliandasani was born and raised in Edmonton.  The real life Charlotte York of any group of gals, Priya’s dreams and optimism took shape the moment she took a sip of a vintage Bordeaux wine.  From that moment on, a flare of French was sprinkled on everything she touched.  Inevitably, in 2008, Priya moved to Montréal where all things “Ooh La La” seemed to personify themselves.   With a café in hand and a beret somewhere in the bottom of her oversized handbag (to avoid any hint of a cliché), Priya began a love affair with inspiring décor, great parties, and themed events.

Now happily based out of both Montreal and Edmonton, Priya’s writes Flaunt Fete – a column full of inspiration for your next happening.
