Catharsis: Imagining the Forever 21/Anthropologie depositions

Anthropologie is suing Forever 21 charging blatant rip-offism, charging lower pricesism and general brand quality degradationism. And I would normally quote a news article and be all professional here but frickin Women’s Wear Daily is charging to read the entire article. And that has pushed me off the deep end into delirium. So instead I present my completely made-up reimagining…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Reviews: Segovia Dress

I succumbed to the allure of the Triglav Peep-Toes ($110) over the weekend. Something about the cafe-striped wedge heels was too tempting. And they are really comfortable to boot! I wouldn’t want to be on my feet all day in them but they survived walking around the city for a few hours quite well. No pinched toes, no blisters. On…

Email: Denim distress call

Anthropologie is taking a trip back to the 1990s with their latest email about distressed denim. I practically live in jeans and I feel like I’ve owned just about every shape jeans can come in.

To Mom with Love

Mother’s Day is coming up and Anthropologie is offering up its gift ideas. It speaks to the diverse product range Anthro offers that the specialty page has such diverse items as kitchenware, jewelry, clothing, planters, books, scarves…and whatever this thing below is. Gladiator Bird, Finch with Key ($298) I actually find the bird kind of endearing. But as usual I…

New Yorkers’ favorite fashion store? Anthro.

Zagat has just released their 2009/10 NYC Shopping Guide (highly recommended for visitors to this great city!) and Anthropologie got itself some love. Anthro was named “Top Fashion Store.” And even in this economy it was interesting to see that 24% of survey respondants said they were willing to spend more on “high quality items that last,” according to Zagat’s…
