Reviews: Weekend Splurge

Aalto Top ($78) and Conch Shell Pencil Skirt ($288) I know many people are on shopping bans (some for Lent) so it’s a bit sheepishly that I say I splurged a bit this weekend. I ended up further ahead then normal in February and I get free rent this month at my apartment. I put 3/4 of the money away…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Email: Hair Superlatives

Anthropologie has been pretty chatty via email this week. Their latest is two messages in one. First, touting their new hair accessories. The Polyantha Hair Pins ($15) that divide the email are pretty cute. But overall the first word that came to my mind browsing the hair section was “young.” And not like 20-something young. Almost childlike in some ways.…

Reviews: Dusky Dolphin Blouse

Continuing with the bow theme, above is the Dusky Dolphin Blouse ($78) by Odille. I have to admit I thought the little water sprites on the shirt were whales at first, followed by fish. I was wrong! A little bow-tieish? Maybe but I can officially say that bows are replacing ruffles as this year’s accent of the moment. As usual…

Gorgeous! Akee Shell

Man I wish I was in Hawaii right now! And if I were taking a breack from the lovely volcanic beaches of Kailua Kona right now I would most certainly be jaunting around town in the Akee Shell ($88). Sure, from the front the voile top by Weston Wear looks like your normal shell. But turn it around… …and you’ve…

Off the beaten path…Banana Republic Credit Card harrassment

Forgive me for going so far off the beaten path here but I need to blow off some steam. And if any of you shop (or have shopped, or are considering shopping) at Banana Republic I think you should read on. In January, I found a bunch of items at Banana Republic that I wanted to buy. To get a…

Anthropologie is doing just peachy, thanks

The economy might be taking a beating but Anthropologie (and Urban Outfitters as a whole) seems to be doing just fine. First, Kiplingers says that Anthropologie’s items are just too unique to pass up:Then there are those coveted items that shoppers will find a way to buy, recession or no recession. Edgy apparel retailer Urban Outfitters (URBN) is as close…

Email: Seeing a Pattern?

I love this email! I am enjoying the bold prints Anthropologie is introducing for Spring and I think this is one of the best outfits pages they’ve turned out in awhile. I think I would wear every outfit except for the Nouveau Tile — and only because I don’t think I could pull off the Pell-Mell Poppy Blouse ($88). Love…
