Reviews: Steep Stairs Tank & Buzios Halter

The Steep Stairs Tank ($78) prompted this first reaction from me: laughter. Put this shirt together in spandex and you’d have a disco-to-80s winner. I do not mean that as a good thing. But in real life this shirt was surprisingly tempting. Though I am terrible at math I have a love of geometry and angles in my clothing. This…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

Gorgeous! Embroidered Pier Dress & California Iris Dress

I spotted a couple of new dresses in-store that just made it to the website. First, the Embroidered Pier Dress ($188) above. I wanted to try it on because this dress just looks so fun! I was worried about the vertical sash — would it make me look wide? Probably didn’t need to worry. This Floreat piece’s slightly high waistband…

CURRENT CRAVINGS

Even on vacation, I could not stay away from Anthropologie

During my vacation, here’s how the weather went: sunny and 70s to 16 inches of snow within a 10-day span. I kid you not! It was a wonderful time in Colorado as usual though. While I was there my sister and I did some shopping and I hit two Anthropologie stores. I was surprised that there was no Anthropologie up…

Reviews: Dress you up in my love

In Anthropologie’s 5th Ave store (NYC) there is what I like to call Dress Row. Along the stairwell leading to the lower level are selected dresses from their current collection, usually the best of the pack. I can almost never walk by without picking up at least one to try on. Over the weekend I tried on several between all…

Reviews: Dusky Dolphin Blouse

Continuing with the bow theme, above is the Dusky Dolphin Blouse ($78) by Odille. I have to admit I thought the little water sprites on the shirt were whales at first, followed by fish. I was wrong! A little bow-tieish? Maybe but I can officially say that bows are replacing ruffles as this year’s accent of the moment. As usual…

Gorgeous! Akee Shell

Man I wish I was in Hawaii right now! And if I were taking a breack from the lovely volcanic beaches of Kailua Kona right now I would most certainly be jaunting around town in the Akee Shell ($88). Sure, from the front the voile top by Weston Wear looks like your normal shell. But turn it around… …and you’ve…
