The Monogram Shop

I freely admit I love monogrammed things. I don’t quite take it to the level of monogramming my shirts but I have monogrammed jewelry, keepsakes, and pretty much anything else. I had noticed that Anthropologie was selling some home goods that were emblazoned with letters but they have expanded their offerings with the latest site update. They now have a…

Winter Windows at Anthropologie stores

photo of Anthropologie’s 5th Avestore in NYC (see more) Anthropologie’s stores have their winter window decorations up and they are (as always) gorgeous. I love taking pictures of all of the NYC winter store decorations and I enjoy Anthro’s deconstructed take on winter. Their Soho store has a beautiful display as well, I will post photos as soon as I…

CURRENT CRAVINGS

Email: Now You See Her, Now You Don’t

Alright, Anthropologie. You got me. I totally wish I was on a beach somewhere. Tanning (ok, burning) on white or pink sand somewhere where the water is clear and the waves are splashing. And yes, I will wear the Far, Far Away hat ($38) so as not to burn my nose. Yes, I browsed your Getaway section plotting where I…

I wish Anthropologie carried wedding dresses

All photos in this postare from brides.com Though I am nowhere near getting married myself I can’t help but wish Anthropologie would carry wedding dresses.

Get Anthropologie on your desktop

Oh lordy, they’ve really done it now. I noticed a link called “spotlight” on Anthropologie’s bottom nav bar and had to see what it was all about. Turns out the Spotlight is a widget you can download that will feature a different item on your computer’s desktop each day (an example is in the picture at the top of this…

A pop of color in the bathroom

Fresh Cut Bathmat, $48 I live in a tiny studio apartment with a teeny bathroom. To make the bathroom seem larger, I’ve stuck to a white color scheme within. But after a while the white started to feel…well…clinical. So I introduced some color in slowly. A friend of mine is lucky enough to have a large bathroom (by NYC standards…

On being a frugal Anthropologie-st

With the economy being what it is I have felt less like spending money lately. And when I do spend I am buying fewer on-trend items and instead investing in classics that will last several seasons. It may sound challenging to reconcile “timeless” with Anthropologie but many of their pieces are updated spins on classic pieces. With a selective eye…
