Q4 same store sales down at Anthropologie

No big surprise here. All of Urban Outfitters’ brands experienced a sales dip over the last quarter of 2008. Free People had the biggest dip, which considering their niche is not a shock.

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Hello anthro (newsletter)

This month’s anthro newsletter reveals the origins of the sought-after Corsage Sweater Jacket from 2007 that makes an appearance every so often on eBay (it’s the photo second from the left in the collage above). I loved this mini-article! Keep them coming, Anthropologie.

CURRENT CRAVINGS

I like the 1920s-style accents on this piece…the fan next to the Florette, the multiple hoop accents on the other side. The pastel…
