Email: Bugs, Beasties and Baubles

Creepy crawlies on a chain? Not exactly, but Anthro’s latest email featuring pretty little buggers kind of has me speechless. I like the Flutter Fly Necklace ($98). I like the Hippopotamus Locket ($98). I like the Wingspan Brooch ($98). And then there is the Gastropoda Ring ($198, above). It one part rocks and one part freaks me out. I shall…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Email: Sale so nice, we’re telling you twice

Anthropologie sent out a sale reminder email today. Looks like this one is slowly making its way out to everyone. I had really good luck at the sale. I bought two dresses (There You Were Dress, Honeyhouse Dress) and a skirt (Stone Cloud Skirt). I think though that I am done for a little while as I replenish my wish…

Quick Hits: New Dresses

When I came home last night with my fifth Anthropologie shopping bag in as many days it raised some eyebrows in my household. Legitimate. While my spending at Anthro is about to go on hold for awhile it doesn’t mean I can’t try stuff on! Anthro has been unveiling some appealing dresses over the last few weeks and a bunch…

Outfits: Long Weekend

Summer Lovin by roxyturtle I can’t believe it’s almost Memorial Day weekend already. Wasn’t St. Patty’s Day last weekend? Not that I mind having an extra day to do whatever I please. I finally had some time this weekend to put together some new Polyvore sets devoted to a hop, skip and a jump outside. Don’t forget your suncreen! Summer…

Email: Sleeve Science

Batman is my favorite superhero and apparently I’m not the only one. Anthropologie’s latest email is about the batwing top, another trend I’m surprised to see them tackle. The email is done really well and so is the landing page. I like the interpretation of the clothing as specimen and it fits in well with their bird and entomology design…

Email: Big Friggin Sale in stores

Just when I was thinking that Anthropologie’s sale section was looking a bit thin I get this email. Starting tomorrow Anthro is having their “biggest sale of the year.” That’s the good news. The bad news is that the email makes the distinction — biggest sale in stores. Edit, update: The sale is online as well though the pickings are…
