Email: An Ambidextrous Top

It was double the fun for Anthropologie emails today. The second one featured the Blooming Phlox Tank ($58). It’s a pretty top by Deletta to be sure but back to the email for a moment. An ambidextrous top? Really? This shirt doesn’t have hands…and the other meaning is deliberate deceptiveness…which I guess could apply…but it’s a stretch. This is not…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Email: Leather’s in the bag.

I adore leather purses. Anthropologie is endlessly tempting me with their selection of colors and shapes. Today’s email is particularly enticing. The Chocolate Spritz Bag ($178) looks good enough to eat; the Hushed Hue Bag ($178) has a wonderful summery tone and I am obsessed with the Chipper Tote ($199). Dearest Anthro, please send one of each of these plus…

CURRENT CRAVINGS

Email: A saturated sale

Clever subject line in your latest email Anthropologie. A nod to hues or an exasperated commentary on the state of your inventory? Either way I am glad for the sale from which I continue to slowly pick up items that teased from your summer line. With apologies for sounding repetitious I am shocked by how quickly some items are hitting…

Anthropologie sends me a survey

I have heard about the Anthropologie product surveys and other members here have received them. But until yesterday I’d never gotten one. I was positively giddy to see this in my Inbox (See how easy I am to market to? Make me feel special and I’m in!). I like customer surveys. It was pretty short — I was asked to…

Email: anthro in our own words

I was wondering when this month’s “anthro: in our own words” newsletter would arrive. Lo and behold it’s here today! July’s ongoing theme is open communication lines. The newsletter talks about Anthro joining Facebook and having a proper Twitter feed. I am happy to see both of these things. With some companies you can tell the PR firm runs it…

Emails: Put Yourself in His Shoes

The second email I received yesterday was about shoes for dudes with a girlie twist. The Sharply Tailored Peep-Toes ($280) featured in the email are very cool-looking but very outside my fashion comfort zone. I could maybe partner them with a tennis or polo dress. Do the Oxford Grad Peep-Toes ($138) remind you of men’s shoes at all? Not me…

Email: Pretty Handsome Outfits

Anthropologie double-dosed us with emails yesterday. First up was a tease to their latest set of outfits devoted to menswear as womenswear. I like most of the outfits. The Francie/Frank one above is my favorite though I really enjoy the Pickford Cloche ($48) on the first outfit. But I think it’s weird how they gave the outfits both male and…
