The Fertile Loam Mini ($148) has an interesting name. The only other time I have ever heard the word loam was traveling in Ireland when a native was telling my then-guy and I about building his house out of “straw, sweat and loam.” I don’t think it’s an allusion to the skirt’s color either because I thought loam was kind…
The Oblique Pencil Skirt ($88) is a wine color that is so rich and intoxicating that I can spot it as soon as I walk into Anthropologie’s Soho store no matter where it is displayed. The website picture really doesn’t do the skirt justice. I own plenty of pencil skirts already though so this try-on was just for fun. Made…
In the winter my skin always gets dry, dry, dry. It’s no surprise then that Anthropologie’s latest email is all about skincare and bathing. Lotion, soap, etc. I have never used any of Anthro’s skin products and honestly I don’t plan on starting. I have smelled some of their items in-store and they smell pretty good but I have my…

From the company that brought us the Labryinthe Tee (now $30) and the Field Day Tee (now $30) comes the From-the-Ground-Up top ($68). I’m pretty hit and miss with Deletta tops. I find their fits to be somewhat inconsistent. But I love this top. It comes in dark grey (with purple undertones) and coral. Flutter sleeves always make me a…
The Curl & Twirl Sweater ($88) by Moth caught my eye with the curly-q neckline embellishment. It was available in both Ivory and Green at my local Anthropologie. I was a little worried that there are a few twirls with cutouts but decided it warranted a try-on. I found this sweater to be true to size (medium for me). The…
