anthropologie roundup

also, real quick, i dashed into anthropologie after work yesterday (bought the belt i am wearing today, on sale for $9!) and took a look around to see that there is a lot of stuff i really like in there right now. and, maybe it's a conscious decision because of the economy, but i feel like the stuff i liked was less expensive than usual. generally when i am wandering around anthropologie and i see a dress i like and fumble for the tag, the sticker shock is great enough for me to quickly stuff the tag back in place and make a beeline for the sale section. but these are 3 dresses that i saw last night and loved, and was surprised that they weren't more expensive than they are.




underwood shirtdress, $168; carillo shift, $128; orava shift, $138.

now i just have to decide which one to splurge on when i get paid friday.

etsy rodeo

well, i forgot my camera this morning, so my outfit-posting will have to wait. (i know, i know, you're waiting with bated breath. hang in there.) i'm attending a whiskey tasting after work (read: meeting friends at the whiskey ward in the lower east side and trying whiskey until i can't try whiskey no mo) so we'll see if i'm in a state to photograph when i get home.

until then, i spent part of the morning scouring etsy for boots for a friend (her new pup made a chew toy of her favorite shoes) and while i had pretty limited success with that, i did find a few new shops that i think i'll be frequenting.



starting clockwise, from the top left corner: cocktail dress, green wallpaper vintage; 60s mini dress, green wallpaper vintage; leather bandaid dress, vintage hollywood; red cowboy boots, ninth avenue vintage; golden feather-collared blouse, leolucaescobar; silk pink blouse, ninth avenue vintage; blue pleated dress (top half of dress in bottom left corner), ninth avenue vintage; 80s prom dress, vintage hollywood; cute spring dress, ninth avenue vintage; gorgeous party dress, leolucaescobar; 50s feather cap, ninth avenue vintage.

in other news, i officially graduated from level one in pastry to level two! meaning i'm 1/3 of the way through, and tomorrow i start on a savory bread unit. honestly, i am extremely grateful to be making something not sweet for a little while.

until we meet again!
