The most common question I get? What is the card for? Well, I used to know. But lately things have become a bit muddled. Let’s start with this:…
Note: the sale roundup is right below this post. All home items this morning. Ladies, I am angry. There are four things in my life you should not mess with: my family, my friends, my job and my shopping. The first three should go without needing an explanation.

I would like to begin this post by saying a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped me locate the Behind-the-Clouds Dress (now $70, no longer online).

I came across this New York Observer article on Anthropologie from 2006 and it is just wonderful. It begins with…
Anthropologie is suing Forever 21 charging blatant rip-offism, charging lower pricesism and general brand quality degradationism. And I would normally quote a news article and be all professional here but frickin Women’s Wear Daily is charging to read the entire article. And that has pushed me off the deep end into delirium.
