RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Email: Knit Newbies

It’s back to basics in Anthropologie’s latest email. I was cleaning my closet out last nite and noticing that I seem to be lacking some basics for spring…it’s like Anthro read my mind!

Anthropologie Fall 2009 Preview

Update April 1 PM: This story is like, totally an April Fools’ joke.
