Oh the web Anthro weaves! Reportedly there’s another big markdown week due to happen in June, the question is only whether it’s coming this week or next. Kim from Anthroholic will be scoping out the scene in-store. I have some pennies set aside for whenever this markdown happens, though I have to admit I hope it’s next week over this one simply for the fact that as you are reading this I’m on the beach somewhere in Mexico. Greedy and selfish, I know. My more selfless side hopes to see plenty of markdowns on behalf of the community! My best guesses below — what are yours?
This post is no guarantee that any of these items will actually be on sale come tomorrow. What are you hoping to see? What do you think will/won’t go on sale?
Be sure to come back at the usual time — there will be a sale post in the morning!

I'm pretty sure that sale will be next week because this week is inventory week at anthro
Hmmmm…I feel like it's time for the Botanical Stroll to go on sale. If only because I feel I am about to cave on full price.
Lindsey..Elizabeth is right–there won't be any markdowns this week because inventory is happening.

I think the Blushing Bouquet and the Percussive Cardis have a great shot. There is maybe a little hope for the Herb Field Roaming Frills, and the Wind and Whirl cardis, too.I'd also love to see the Beda go on sale; I hope I didn't completely miss out on the green! But I'm thinking that one won't hit sale for a couple more weeks. Botanical Stroll dress is due for a markdown, I think. Ditto the Rushing Ruffles, Speckled Ink, Ipanema, Clearly Constructed, Roped In, and Knotted Poppies Dresses. In fact, I think a lot of dresses are about due for a big cut.Finally, my money is on the Picture Frame Blouse and Sunday Supper shirt getting a cut as well.
Anon, My store started doing inventory last week and yet they still marked things down last Tuesday. Is it different for every store? I did hear one of the SAs talking about finding a lot of old stuff lurking in the back that they then took out to the sales racks, which made me think that they're holding the big sales and doing inventory simultaneously. My guess was that that's why we were getting consecutive weeks of small markdowns rather than every other week of big ones.But I actually hope there aren't big markdowns until next week. That's when I'll be a little more flush 🙂
Can anyone explain to someone clueless exactly what inventory is? 🙂
I think i need a sale after the break last week
The Caballo Falls Dress has appeared on the website in navy, which likely means a further delay until it goes on sale. 🙁

FYI – Just called my store in Seattle…the manager said "for sure we won't be doing new mark downs for tomorrow….not sure about next week."
I just want to report that the Aniseed skirt knockoff by ModCloth is back in stock.It'd be great if the Drifting by dress went on sale… I can only hope!Hey Roxy, how does the fashion look like in Mexico? Have you gone window shopping? Any signs of Anthropologie maniacs there too?

I have a bunch of returns so I could use some of that money on a new sale item!!

Ugh, I want one but I don't? I am going to Wizzarding World of Harry Potter this week and need to save for that instead!!
@Lauren S: I'm not sure how other locations do inventory, but I can see how bringing old items from the backroom to the sale room would be wise–if they sell, that's fewer to count!@Anon at 5:43: Inventory is when every single thing in the store is counted, including the unusual found objects and items in the backroom.I don't know if there's a big sale next week–I hope so too!Anonymous at 5:09 pm

I gave in and purchased the Rising Battenberg Dress last week (shipped from a store in Seattle), so hoping that I might be able to get a price adjustment. Not counting on it though since it sold out online. Other than that, I'll probably be sitting a sale this week out–but here's hoping for next week!
I am just hoping for second cuts this week.
Ani-freakin-seed Skirt COME ONNNNNN… either this week or next, I dont care…Tried the Modcloth version, it was too short or I'm too bootylicious or both.So.Yeah.Anthro, Immaneed you to go ahead and do a little choppitychopchop on that $128 price tag so I can keep this baby, mmkay?
another newbie here…what exactly is a "second cut"?
stepha–I agree with you! C'mon aniseed skirt, I'm doing a dance for you!

katie:second cut = second price cut from original sales price.
A second cut is when items that are already on sale get marked down again (a second sale on an item).

Is there anyone who has actually seen the Nathalie Lete First Dance Dress in a store and can give me an idea ofhow it fits? Want to order online but am at a total loss for sizing. From what I understand this dress will only be in NY, DC, Chicago flagship type stores in major cities. Please help!ThanksHeidi h101334@yahoo.com

@Kim S…..Wizarding World of Harry Potter?!?? I am SOOOO jealous!
Ahh, Roxy, thank you for doing these posts every week! You're amazing! I might go to NY with my mom this summer for a little girls get-away, and I'm crossing my fingers I see you at an anthro! hahaFor everyone hunting for the aniseed skirt, I saw this post on a look for less! Enjoy ladies, I'm hoping you all get what you wish for!
Robin Yes a couple friends from law school and I are going for the grand opening. It is going to be swamped, and the actors from the movies are supposed to be there as well. I cannot wait. Can someone tell me the set schedule for second cuts, do those go on the wesbite wednesday night or tuesday night? I have been a bit confused after the holiday weekend!!

Hi ladies,I didn't go to Anthro tonight to scope out the sale, because if you read my blog, you know my dog had a horrible accident and I don't have time, however, I called the manager I know at my store and she told me no markdowns tomorrow because of inventory, which all stores are doing here tomorrow.
Phew…I know this is gonna give me bad sale karma but my wallet could not take another sale.
I too am hoping that the big sale isn't for a week or two from now due to my smoking wallet…the siren song of the iPhone pre-order is calling me this evening. I think if stores are doing inventory this week, there's a good chance it'll be next week. Crossing fingers.Sarah C – bittersweet about the Caballo Falls dress! I own the original blue, but that navy looks mighty pretty. I kind of wish they released colors at the same time, b/c then we could choose the best shade for our complexions. It's such a pretty dress though – sold out really quickly in my area – so at least ladies who missed out on it can nab new color now.
Sadly, no sale tonight :(Goodnight everyone!
Stepha and Jaden,I caved and bought the Aniseed Skirt 12 days ago afraid it would sell out and thinking it would go on sale this week and I could get PA. I should know better. Trying to time Anthro sales is like trying to time the stock market.
There's a Monochromatic Corset Dress size 0 showing on popup on page 37 in the September 09 catalog. $49.95. But you can take it in to stores for a PA of $9.95. Someone jump on this! Great dress!!!!
Hey, I have another newbie question…what is a popup (i'm guessing it's a item that's back in stock)and how do you go about finding these?
I just bought a couple of popbacks — the herringbone wrap coat (aug 09) and the quarry lake dress (2008) from some popbacks. how do you know if it's marked down further in stores? this is my first time… is it a common practice to buy popbacks and see if you can get a further reduction? how do you usually go about it?thanks!~mariansub.
I know what a popback is and sometimes they show up on my wishlist, but how else do you find them? When someone posts that there's a popback I search for it or type in the number and it never shows up. The only time I can access a popback is if someone posted a link.
Britney B.:Is there anyone to check to see if something has been marked down additionally in stores verse the final price online? Or do you just buy and test it out based on luck?
Hi All-I call the customer service # online and ask them how much an item is in stores. Then they tell me what that price is (in this case – $9.95) then I ask if it is possible to get the item at that price. If there are at least 3 of that item at one store, they will give it to you. In this case, there wasn't, so I bought it online last week and took it into the store for a PA. You can always call CS to ask them how much something is in stores, then take it to a store within the 2 week time period and get a PA.
As for the popback question, popback means that an older item has popped back onto an old catalog. You may access the old catalogs through this blog: http://anthropologieaddict.blogspot.com/2009/10/f…. Just scroll through the pages and click on items, it the item is available, you will see the price and available size.
stores don't ever give you a hard time about this, do they?thanks for the tips!
Brittany B.:Thanks so much for the tip … definitely going to check out somethings that have reappeared in my wish list, but aren't quite the price I'd like to pay for them. Thanks.
Ahh, I always miss it!! Congrats to whoever bought it. I want that dress bad!
Thanks to Brittany B, I was inspired to have a look-see through my wish list. On-The-Fold dress finally popped back in my size, and after calling CS to find out the in-store price ($49.95), I decided to buy it. I really hope I don't have any trouble getting a PA.And…decided to bite the bullet on the Aniseed skirt :x. I'm hoping for a PA on it next week, but, I've been watching/wanting it for long enough now that I'm willing to eat the full cost. OH ANISEED SKIRT, I HAVE FINALLY FALLEN TO YOUR WICKED, WICKED WAYS!Now please go on sale within 14 days, for Pete's flippin' sake.
Lauren – Glad you got the On-The-Fold Dress and the Aniseed Skirt!!! So jealous, I'm still waiting on that dang skirt. I don't think you should have any problems getting a PA. Just take it to your store along with the packing slip, there shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
I was just wondering if anybody has the modcloth version of the aniseed skirt..how does it fit?
Just thought I'd leave a friendly FYI as I know some people really liked this top – around 5 today, I am returning the Tartan Rose Tieback (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LvZSp8QrqM4/S825-8ZR1ZI/AAAAAAAAAno/BE5QISVbnbw/s1600/Tartan_Rose_Tieback.jpg) to the Towson, MD Anthro, Size Medium. I paid $19.95 online – imagining the in store price will be the same or lower.
@Just-ErinWould you mind putting that top on hold for Ally?
Ally:I'll ask – I am not sure if they will do it – but I'll try.
@Just_ErinI've done it a couple of times..hopefully it will work for you. Thanks!Ally
The Parted Petals Cardigan has popped up on my wishlist in the large size! Let me know if you have any luck!
Ally:It is on hold for you. Hope it works out.
Leifsdottir is on sale at Ruelala right now!http://www.ruelala.com/invite/asantiago240
I just visited my local Anthro and two SA's told me that tomorrow 5 apparel items will go on sale. However, they wouldn't tell me which items, but just said that they were pretty good ones!
Ooohh…a little sale sounds fun. Made a quick Anthro return at Corte Madera and saw:Two Wheeler Dress – size 2 in sale room (last one)Cooling Pallettes (sp?) Dress – size 2Tassel Fronds Dress – Size 0 or 2Air Mail Skirt – Size 4 (someone had it to try on as I was leaving)State Fair Dress – size 12Buds and Blossoms Tee in wine color (and other colors) – didn't check sizesStars and Stripes Skirt (is that the name?) by We Love Vera – a fewLots of Climbing Cowlnecks
i am returning a quarry lake dress (2008) size 12 to the Palo Alto Store tonight — about 5.30 pacific time. (cut too small for me…) style #833128http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=833128&navAction=jump&navCount=77
Marcela – the fashion I saw was very casual by day, 5" shorts and tank tops everywhere. Some of the ladies in my hotel wore lovely maxi dresses too, I saw this one I want so badly. I'll have to find a link to something similar. The stores around me were very touristy so the fashion was…not impressive. However there was one store on calle corazon that I can't remember the name of, but it had great stuff. Very boutique-y. I also spotted a girl in a Clustered Camellia Tee. It took a lot of willpower not to run up to her like a maniac and see if she was as much of an Anthro lover as me. 😉
So is there any news of any chance of a sale tomorrow?
I'll be up in a few hours to check. 🙂
myrlegacy – I love you! I just got that Quarry Lake Dress for $9.95! You are amazing! I have loved that dress forever :)seriously indebted to you!
