Outfits: Thatta Way!

I was happily surprised to see new outfits already up on Anthropologie’s website. I always love their styling ideas and this set is no exception. The theme seems to be maps and travel, an idea that is also the theme of their store windows this month. I love the model they used — especially her hair! I had a similar…

It would be one thing if clothing sizes were standardized and brands stayed true to those standards. But when a size 6 is true to size one season;…

Wish List: New arrivals, part one

There are just too many new arrivals to drool over. Here’s part one of my ever-expanding wish list. The Diaphanous Tunic ($88) comes in blue now? Uh-oh, this is trouble as now I want all 3 colors! I am so tempted by the look of the Talmadge Dress ($178) though I’d love to see it in black. Slouchy yet structured,…
