Last week I was in Colorado and visited my sister. This past weekend my sister surprised me with a visit to NYC and Yankees tickets! We were at the marathon game Saturday night against the Angels and it was amazing. Best baseball game I’ve ever seen live. My sister is awesome for buying the tickets but she’s even better for…
Anthropologie’s head buyer Keith Johnson heads to South Africa tonight on “Man Shops Globe.” I didn’t get a chance to address this last week but many national outlets gave their take on the show. Suffice it to say they weren’t exactly kind. As Racked put it, “Professional TV critics made the same observation [Effortless Anthropologie did], only less gently.” To…

Anthropologie is curiously currently carrying it as the Keep Calm and Carry On Rug ($498). I was first introduced to the propaganda turned graphic designer’s lament in 2007 via Apartment Therapy. A few months later my work…
I’m glad I don’t live in the era of actual corsets. I am however loving the corset-inspired shapes Anthropologie is churning out. Today’s email points to the corset collection which they helpfully point out helps create an hourglass shape. Featured is of course the Monochromatic Corset Dress ($188). It’s at the top of my wish list for October for sure.…
