In or Out: Storm-of-Shapes Dress

I am attending a wedding in Colorado in October and I’ve started shopping for a dress. Could the Storm-of-Shapes Dress ($158) be the one I’ve been searching for? Yoana Baraschi has a great eye for the feminine shape and patterns. There is a bit more fabric around the shoulder than I’d like but the cute sash more than makes up…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

In or Out: Inverness Trench

The Inverness Trench ($188) has been hiding in plain sight. After a tasteless photo in the July catalogue (my thoughts here or you can read the Post-Fab Princess’s take here) Shannon over at Wardrobe Review sang its praises and I decided to take another look. And a third, and a fourth, and a twirl in front of the mirror! I…

CURRENT CRAVINGS

In or Out: Night Sky Top

In honor of Project Runway’s return, I thought it might be fun to put a bit of a spin on my reviews. Just in case I happen to win the lottery and have an unlimited spending budget there are a bunch of items I’d love to buy from Anthropologie. Please help me decide — vote whether each item should stay…

Quick Hits: Tops, Dresses & A Diversion

Anthropologie’s copywriter and I had similar thoughts upon spotting the Jewels & Gems Tank ($98): “oooh, sparkly shinies!” Just an easy, breezy top that would look great under a blazer or cardigan. This is a medium above. By itself yes it does flutter away from the body but I didn’t feel like it made me look pregnant. I don’t usually…

Review & Outfits: Openweave V-neck

The Openweave V-Neck ($68) is not the kind of top I’d normally go for. It’s drapey, it’s a loose enough cable to see through and it is kind of boho. Yet somehow in real life I instantly fell in love! I owe it to the lovely shade of blue I think; blue and I are practically BFFs at this point.…

Reviews & Outfits: Idra Shorts

Shorts. With tights. It’s coming. Apparently the more accurate description would be it’s coming back but I don’t remember this the first time around so I’m living it for the first time. And I love it! I have seen the look in a few fall catalogues and think I could pull it off with the right pair of shorts. Enter…

Reviews & Outfits: Thousand Days Skirt

Drool. That one word could be the entire post right there. Odille’s Thousand Days Skirt ($78) makes me happy in so many ways. I love the color. I love the length. I love the shape, which is reminiscent of J.Crew’s Belle Skirt from last fall. And Odille is wise: this skirt comes in both regular and petite sizes. Your preferred…
