Eye Candy: Store Inspiration

from the 3rd Ave (NYC) Anthropologie

A couple of weeks ago I made it all the way to the Upper East Side’s Anthropologie and took several photos for this week’s Eye Candy: Store Inspiration post. I’ve mentioned this before but it’s worth noting again: the store used to be a movie theatre and Anthropologie has done a tremendous job converting it. From the outside though you’d never know it was Anthropologie. Minimal signage, low profile facade. I’m jealous my old neighborhood has my favorite store while I have none down in my current nabe. Oh well. Perhaps one will make it down to Financial District eventually. If you’d like to submit a photo for the Eye Candy: Store Inspiration monthly contest please read the guidelines and then send in your shot! On to the dress forms…

The sign says: 
“This one-of-a-kind sculpture features 407 artfully crafted porcelain vases.
Constructed in France, each vase is completely unique 
and together the composition creates a wave of color.”
