Anthropologie Worthy

The loveliest new arrivals have sprung up at Anthropologie this week. Sadly the Sunburst Midi Dress, which I was so hopefully  awaiting did not make it to our shores. Ordering it from the UK would be sheer madness since it might not fit and I would have to send it back. Sigh...

Ok, lets focus on the positive. I'm positively drooling over these!

Stitched Soliloquy Dress

I love love love the Neon Bloom Maxi Dress, but why must it have that

opened, gaping back? Some of us over the age of thirty cannot possibly pull 

off that look. And how do you wear a bra under this dress? 

Galatea Maxi Dress

Riviera Dress

Floral Flutter Dress

 Suraja Pencil Dress

Perruche Dress

 Pointelle Wisp Cardi

 Songbird V-Neck

Paisaje Jacket

The whimsical, "pen doodles" pattern on this jacket makes me smile.

As for the Calvi Lacework Shorts, I'm impressed with Anthropologie's knack for recycling 

tablecloth fabric. 

Anthropologie Glass Water Bottles

When I first saw these eco glass water bottles at Anthropologie, I thought they were 

so neat looking, if not entirely practical when on the go. Glass, unlike plastic, is the healthiest choice for storing liquids and the best for the planet. It is not reactive and so your water will always taste pure and clean.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Zulily is having a SALE

today on these very same bottles by Takeya in a variety of colors and sizes.

The 18oz bottles are on sale for 13.99 ($20 at Anthropologie) and the 16oz are 11.99.

All these bottles are made out of recycled glass.

Also available, silicon covered glass bottles for easy grip.

DIY Anthropologie Style

So many of us are drooling over various Anthropologie items and lamenting the prices, while some creative individuals take on the challenge and recreate Anthropologie styles with their own two hands. Check out the latest BuzzFeed for 38 awesome DIY Anthropologie knock-offs. Follow links under the pictures for full instructions. Some of these really blow me away! I love creative-handy people!

Anthropologie Sale Picks

This Monday morning I am feeling so very rotten. An evil virus took over my body and I want to crawl out of my skin. Last night I told husband that if I die, he should please always be sensitive and gentle with our kids. Granted most people survive the flu or whatever the heck I have, but you never know. He responded that he can't promise anything and so I better not croak. Yup, that's my baby-daddy. So what does a woman who's in bed with a fever and who's not at all reassured about the future of her kids in the event of her untimely demise left to do, but drawn her sorrows in Anthropologie sale shopping? Another very legitimate excuse that I have is that after the baby I can't fit into any of my clothes. It's very depressing, but it's easier to buy larger sizes than to loose weight. As my kind and sensitive husband put it, "give up on loosing weight and just sell your skinny wardrobe". Slightly off the subject, but to top things off for me, my darling firstborn daughter has declared that I'm not a fun mommy. I asked her if she would rather have a different mommy and after ten seconds of consideration, she said "yes, but don't get upset".
So as you can imagine, this is not one of the happier Mondays for me. Well, let's see what can be scraped up in today's sale.
