And now, for a magic trick. Nothing up my sleeve! Notice in the photo above how the Seasonless Stripe Button-Up ($78) by Odille appears to hit the model mid-hip! But then, presto!!! Even on the tall among us this shirt magically grows by 5 or 6 inches in length! Is the model a giant? No! Does she have on a…
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I spent the better part of yesterday at the spa (someone who shall remain nameless helpfully told me that “there’s no Anthropologie at the spa.” Oh.) I still found time to make a trip to the store though. It’s always great when an item fits you as well as you hope. When I…
Oh, Anthropologie. You and your tricky camera angles! I knew the Tweed & Chiffon Dress ($188) would be short since it hits mid-thigh on the model. But this photo, shot on the up angle, distorts just how short the skirt portion really is. Now granted at 5’8″ I am pretty tall. I was also a bit screwed by how small…
One part houndstooth, one part hoodie? Count me in! The Checkered, Please Jacket ($178) has a broad houndstooth pattern and large tortoiseshell buttons. Be warned, this jacket is bulky.

I have been not so patiently waiting for Yoana Baraschi’s Soft Drapes Blouse ($88) to show up in stores. I love the folded pleats at the neckline; they’re a modern twist on the exhaustive ruffle trend. The shirt comes in navy and orange. I own about 1,000,000 blue shirts so I decided that orange was the way to go. I…
There are multiple outfits from Anthropologie that I can’t stop thinking about. The one above is probably my favorite. It’s still too warm to wear it…and I’ve decided after the rainy mess that was Friday in NYC that it’s best not to rush the cold in…but that shouldn’t stop me from trying on the items, right? So I spent one…
Corey Lynn Calter makes impossibly fun, flirty dresses that flatter women of all shapes and sizes. I tried on (and loved) the Slice-Of-Lime Dress ($178). Ditto the Caranday Dress ($178). Yet something gave me pause about the Monochromatic Corset Dress ($188). Goldenmeans recently discussed wishing for this dress and I expressed some hesitation about the skirt. I was worried that…
