Reviews: I got the blues, part one

Note: There were no noticeable second markdowns on the website this morning. Several of you pointed out items you’d seen marked down again in-store in yesterday’s Sale thread — feel free to continue chatting in there! If the list of items reaches critical mass I’ll make a new post for it. With Leifsdottir, it’s the prints that always get me.…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

New arrivals: Embrace the pear

Could it be that designers are embracing the pear? Consider this Burberry knockoff above that Idra has introduced. Goldenmeans alerted us to the Two Paths Trench ($188), a trench that makes even the model looks hipalicious. And you know what? I think it’s awesome. I’m so over the waif movement which has recently devolved into the walking dead movement. It’s…

New arrivals: An ode to spring

Much as I am a huge fan of cold weather I know that many of you are…not. Anthropologie seems to realize this as this has truly been their year of winter denial. Fewer warm sweaters than there are days of the week, etc. Now as the time arrives to truly release warm-weather gear they’ve opened the floodgates. I love weeks…

RicRac’s Feathery Tank ($68) with the Over-Under Belt ($38)and C. Keer’s Pratia Tank ($68, review here) Already it’s easy to discern one thing from Anthropologie’s spring collection: it’s cheery. The palette is warm, vivid and (of course) embellished. Every time I think Anthro has done ruffles every possible way they can be done out comes a new shirt with adornments…

Reviews: Lime Juice Dress, On-the-Fold Dress, Precious Stones Dress, Traced Denim Dress

The Lime Juice Dres ($138) has me slightly kerfuffled. I just adore the medium green shade that I’ve seen a couple of other places recently. It’s not so deep as an Irish kelly green yet it’s not pastel either. It’s more the color of grass a few days after a mow. Here’s the thing — I know I was one…

Styled: Solo Stroll Skirt

This post is for Danielle, who wanted some teacher-appropriate options for the Solo Stroll Skirt ($98). Solo Stroll Skirt option 1 by roxyturtle This was a tough one for us. The sweater is a thick wool mix but we didn’t want to use heavy materials on top. So at some point we just said forget it; we’re gonna balance out…
