Anthropologie’s latest email features the Manambe Dress ($168) I so adore but have no occasion to wear. Click through the email and you’re taken to the Splashy Stems page where all things floral reside, from clothing to shoes to bedding. I like the palette of the Blurred Reef Camisole ($78) and the Picabeen V-Neck ($78, above) would like great under…
I’ll just come out and say it: I think the anthro newsletter is awesome! Every month when I’m done reading it I think “Ohhh, that was pretty cool.” This month the newsletter features interviews with personal shoppers from NY and CA. Nothing groundbreaking but a nice little featurette. I heartily approve. Did you know that Anthropologie has personal shoppers? I…
Dress with Ruffled V Neckline ($445) Oh, Catherine Malandrino…je t’adore. Her store (and Nanette Lepore‘s) are so close to my work that I have to purposely avoid Broome Street so I don’t blow entire paychecks.

Senk (he was President of Anthro before!) could easily be applied across company disciplines. Some excerpts from the article (read it all here): Looking at the company…
The Bungalow Dress ($278), by Plenty by Tracy Reese was getting a lot of attention in-store. I think I am in the minority here but this dress throws me for a loop. I like both layers of it. Separately. Together? I’m not sold. The draping of the skirt is lovely. The sweetheart neckline is a delight. To me it looks…
In Anthropologie’s 5th Ave store (NYC) there is what I like to call Dress Row. Along the stairwell leading to the lower level are selected dresses from their current collection, usually the best of the pack. I can almost never walk by without picking up at least one to try on. Over the weekend I tried on several between all…
