So many good things happening over at Anthro right now. I’ve been pretty excited to see that Anthro is now featuring some of Leah Goren and Samantha Pleet’s dresses for their new spring line. Goren’s watercolor prints have always peaked my interest and after having been introduced to Samantha Pleet this year by a friend, I guess you could say I’m pretty excited to blow my pocketbook off. But. I must contain my excitement and restrain myself. ..sigh..
Belated birthday presents from me to me. A haute pink fashion coloring book and interrupted hoops from Anthropologie. I’m editing down my vast jewelry collection that have been accumulating over the past years and keeping only my favorites. I must be getting older because I prefer classic, minimal pieces these days as opposed to gaudy and bohemian. These hoops are just lovely and you can never go wrong with a great pair of gold hoops to complete an outfit.
Picked up this beautiful Cote D’Ivoire dress today at the thrift store. It’s one of those Zachary’s Smile White Label dresses that I used to see in Anthropologie in a variety of unique tribal patterns. I’m not a huge fan of tribal prints, but the simple chartreuse in this dress just called out to me from the rack. And it reminds me of my walls at home and this lovely painting that was done and given to me by an old friend.
… a brand spanking new box of light blue. Oh man, I really needed this, I’ve been using the last drops of my last bottle for the past month.
I just love a great widow display. The first BHDN store to open is located conveniently next to Anthropologie. Everything is so gorgeous in the store, especially all the decor and party supplies. It’s definitely inspiring me to throw a party.
I’ve been really into these paper garlands that have been hung at the Anthropologie stores lately. So simple, yet so beautiful as a collective piece.

Hello blog, how I’ve missed you.
My computer has been weird for the last few days, but nothing a little reboot and clean up couldn’t fix. Thanks bro. Speaking of cleaning up, I’ve been keeping busy with spring cleaning out my closet. This time around, I decided that it really is time for “out with the old and in with the new.” I cleared out every single piece of clothing that I haven’t touched, worn, looked at in years. Two bags of dresses that I successfully sold at Buffalo Exchange for some sweet cash, and two trash bags full of old t-shirts, old jeans, and jewelry that looks just so juvenile the more I keep them in my case- all these went to Goodwill. I feel refreshed and lighter. My new resolution is to shop sensibly and cut down on impulse buying… Well, I’ll try anyway.
Speaking of shopping, I did treat myself a little after selling all those dresses. Nothing too extravagant, just a few pieces I thought were so endearing. I’ve seen this vintage Avon owl pin before at the Guild Shop, but the green gems were missing in the eye sockets. I finally found a complete one when I came back. My favorite part is that you can open the pin. It’s meant for perfume gloss, but I think I’ll try to place a small picture in there.
An old gold leaf ring I found when I was cleaning out the jewelry box. I think I stole it from my mom’s jewelry box when I was younger.
A suede belt that I’ve been wearing with several outfits lately.
I picked up a few more Rebekah Maysles plates at Anthropologie. There’s a big sale going on! I was sorely tempted, but these will round out my dessert set along with these topography ones I bought several months back.
