Reviews: Transformations Cardi & Friede Tank

Before moving into New York City I owned a car. A Saturn Vue specifically that I bought while in Colorado (it was my second Saturn after owning a 1992 SC throughout high school and college and if I hadn’t moved down here I totally would have bought a Sky Roadster next). One of my dealer presents was a windshield insert…

Reviews: Diaphanous Tunic & Elodie Lily Cardigan

It was featured twice in the August catalogue (including the cover) and seems to be high on every Anthro fan’s wish list. It’s the Diaphanous Tunic ($88). Kim from Anthroholic looked great in it and so did Goldenmeans. I have to thank Kim for a styling suggestion: pairing the tunic with the Elodie Lily Cardigan ($128) which was already on…

Reviews: Potter’s Wheel Cardigan

I was so very excited to try on the Potter’s Wheel Cardigan ($239). As much as I liked the Plaza Cardigan ($128, reviewed here) I was sure I was going to like this one more. It’s a steely grey-blue! It has chiffon ruffles! And once again I was wrong wrong wrong. The middle shot is everything that was wrong —…

Reviews: Beach Grass Dress

You know how when you can’t have something you really want it? That’s how it is for me with strapless dresses. I am always drawn to them even though they are not the best shape for me. Occasionally with the help of in-dress boning and an amazing strapless bra I’m able to make it work. Mostly though I pine needlessly…

Reviews: Anna Sui all the time

When I was in the Soho Anthropologie on Saturday I noticed a display with a lovely shift dress. It had a copper underlayer with a black lace overlayer. It immediately sang to me, the song going something like this: Wear me to a partyWear me on a dateWear me to the jazz clubMy dear, you will always look great! I…

Reviews: Bull’s Eye Dress

Note: Thank you all for your help culling my cart this week. I am still way over budget but it helped inspire me to make a need list for fall (not much) and a want list (very long). Plenty more reviews to come though as there is just so much at Anthropologie I want to try on. Lil! You’re back.…

In or Out: Dewpoint Blouse

As someone who loves ruffles it pains me to admit that ruffles are beginning to ruffle my feathers a bit. They’re everywhere! On blouses. On jackets. On sweaters. On dresses. On purses. On hair accessories. On trenches. I have no doubt that if pants can be ruffled they will be. It’s ruffle overkill! Even Prince is asking us to back…
