Reviews: Steep Stairs Tank & Buzios Halter

The Steep Stairs Tank ($78) prompted this first reaction from me: laughter. Put this shirt together in spandex and you’d have a disco-to-80s winner. I do not mean that as a good thing. But in real life this shirt was surprisingly tempting. Though I am terrible at math I have a love of geometry and angles in my clothing. This…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Forever 21’s number just about up?

photo from WWDForever 21 top, Travota bottom Depending on which side of the fashion food chain you fall on Forever 21 is either awesome for copying designer fashion at a sliver of the price or horrible for it. Now a court case by Trovata might endanger their ability to “flatter” more expensive labels. From Racked:The lawsuit is going to trial,…

Anthropologie wallpaper takes over HGTV

Room shots from “Color Splash” (top)& “Dear Genevieve“ I hope you had a lovely Easter or are enjoying a good Passover (or both). Me? I spent a rainy NYC Saturday watching home improvement shows. I was sucked in by two shows in particular that featured the same Anthropologie wallpaper. First, “Dear Genevieve” did a basement makeover that was simply Anthrotastic.…

Besides the Edun tees, Anthro’s store windows will be done up to celebrate all things bee. They’re also making a donation to the Department of Entomology at Penn State University though the newsletter doesn’t say whether that’s from the tees…

Site update! Utility and 3-D Nursery

Hooray site update! Besides the Cargo Party Anthro emailed about yesterday they’ve side-barred a featurette called 3-D Nursery. A rose is a rose is a rose I suppose. Anthropologie has had a lot of flowery accents this season and I’m all for it. Click through to the featured page though and it’s decidedly selective. There’s plenty to like, from the…
