Show and Tell

My daughter turned eight on Sunday, and in honor of her birthday we headed to the city to purchase a long coveted American Doll. Mind you, hubby and I are not the type of people who believe in purchasing cult-dolls that cost $100, but luckily for our daughter, she has grandparents who were willing to oblige. Since the doll store was only two blocks from the Rockefeller center Anthropologie, and my mom had a gift card to empty out (does one really need a reason to go to Anthropologie?), the three of us had a grand time of it.
In honor of the occasion, I had my sister's point-and-shoot-camera on me, with which I was able to snap away inconspicuously, unlike my chunky SLR, which they always make me put away in the store.

Couldn't quite capture the full beauty of this set up
with the crappy point-and-shoot, but this shelf,
displaying an assortment of glass perfume bottles with metal lamps over them,
looked like something out of a period film.

Wish I had the skills to construct something like this in my house.

I don't do this "pictures of me in the dressing room, review thingy" too often, but having a camera on me and finding something surprising and delightful, I felt it my duty to share.



This sweater jacket by LiaMolly is not on the website, hence I was pleasantly surprised to come across it. It fits my taste perfectly; amazing quality, flattering, unusual yet not too overdone. It looked like something Anthropologie would have carried 4-5 years ago when their clothes still had timeless appeal.
The sweater is a chunky cotton knit and the buttons are knitted too! I'm wearing size XS which I still had a little bit of room in, not too much, but just enough to make it comfortable.
On researching the brand, I learned that this sweater is from LiaMolly's, 2009 collection. Not sure how and why it made it to the Anthropologie shelfs now, but I'm glad it did.

When I went home, I browsed though LiaMolly's website and came to the conclusion that I am completely in love with practically all their designs. Wish Anthropologie would carry more of them. I'll put up pictures of more LiaMolly lovelies in my next post.
