Anthropologie must have known that today is review week’s dress day. How else to explain their latest email all about dresses? I have always been a fan of Anthro’s dresses but the Two Rivers Dress ($118) featured in the email is a bit underwhelming to me. I like it, but Anthro has such fabulous dresses that I can’t believe that’s…
I know this is a long shot, but I figure what the heck. I am trying to help a friend of mine find two Anthropologie items from Fall 2007 seen in the shot above: Sleeping on Snow’s Wildflower Cardigan (size small) and Elevenses’ Wool Finch Skirt (size 6/8). She would like to use it as her costume in a 1-woman…
If your heart is set on a fun totebag for Spring, I heartily recommend The Artists’ Totes ($68). They come in three different designs all with bold colors and striking fun patterns. They are big enough to hold documents (or sketch pads!) and are durable enough to hold a 15.4″ laptop. I also love how the shoulder strap is a…

As usual with bags the product photos on Anthropologie’s website are deceptive…I thought this was going to be a nice, small, hobo-style under the shoulder bag. In real life though this…
(front) The Bai Mu Dan Skirt ($118) takes its very clever name from a white tea that can only be harvested in the spring. Like the tea, the skirt has a golden shimmery hue to it along with pink accents around the waist. The cotton/viscose skirt reminded me a bit of curtains. Really nice curtains. I was easily able to…
The Fertile Loam Mini ($148) has an interesting name. The only other time I have ever heard the word loam was traveling in Ireland when a native was telling my then-guy and I about building his house out of “straw, sweat and loam.” I don’t think it’s an allusion to the skirt’s color either because I thought loam was kind…
The Oblique Pencil Skirt ($88) is a wine color that is so rich and intoxicating that I can spot it as soon as I walk into Anthropologie’s Soho store no matter where it is displayed. The website picture really doesn’t do the skirt justice. I own plenty of pencil skirts already though so this try-on was just for fun. Made…
