August Manifesto

Tomorrow the calendar flips to August and while it’s still Summer in reality, most clothing retailers already have one eye turned towards Fall. Soon it will be both eyes.

Thoughts on Anthropologie’s August Pre-Shop

Anthropologie has made its August preview page available to loyalty members! There are a few promising items and many more worthy of discussion. My favorite item on the page is easily the Lia Embellished Tank ($118, above) which looks promisingly cute with all its details and embellishment and such — and hopefully is not too short. I’m also cautiously optimistic about…

Summer just got more fun at Madewell

Still hunting for summer clothing goodies. I am too! Which is why I’m quite delighted to report that Madewell has taken new markdowns, and made all of its sale an extra 30% off with the code THINKBIG. My boyfriend likes to make fun of me for wearing sweater tanks in the high heat of summer and I’ll admit it’s weird…it’s…

Diving into Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale

It’s funny how pleasant sales like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale — available now to Nordstrom Credit Card holders and in preview to the public til July 21 — mess with my shopping mind. The idea of getting deals on next season’s items is very appealing yet for whatever reason I find myself leaning towards always buying too much in this sale. It’s…

The best of what’s new at Anthropologie right now

We’re trickling towards the end of Summer in the retail world and Anthropologie is dripping out its last warmest-weather pieces, as well as some hints of what might lie ahead. Here’s what’s new to my wishlist today. Anthro is taking some swings for the fences with multiple items in one trend. Take gingham for example, which you’ll find in pieces…

Checking in with Anthropologie’s Tag Sale

Anthropologie’s Summer Tag Sale is in full swing, with new items added to markdowns late last week and most sale an extra 30% off (things like furniture and BHLDN items are excluded). I didn’t find myself needing much in the way of Spring/Summer clothing this year, and Anthro’s stuff didn’t resonate with me, so I’ve mostly been peeking in to…
