anthro. part three.

and finally...
part three: home things.
here it is, the last installment of my anthropologie wishlist. it includes some things for the kitchen, bookshelf and even the christmas tree!
1. Bright Morning Teacups, assorted. $128
- these little cups are true to their name, they would brighten up any morning. such fun patterns.
2. Sweater Weather Candle Tin in Warm Gingerbread. $18
- this candle smells good enough to eat. we had it burning in the store and so many people asked if we had something baking in the back. yum.
3. Voluspa Maison Candle in Figue de Bordeaux. $16
- i love this candle, it has such a pretty tin and the scent is perfect for this time of year. it has a little pine and berry and other fall/wintery smells that would fill up a house and make it feel cozy.
4. Etcetera: Creating Beautiful Interiors With The Things You Love. $35
- these pages are full of beautiful, inspiring photos with ways to use the things you already have along with some antique and thrifted pieces to create a unique style.
5. Little Women. $20
- such a classic and with the most adorable cover. this is one of many of a collection peguin books has done with these cute cloth covers. i will hopefully own them all someday.
6. Lunch In Paris: A Love Story, With Recipes. $23.99
- a true story of the author's adventures of love, with food and men, in Paris. with recipes included. cute.
7. Cover Story Postcards. $25
- i love postcards and i wish more people would send them. the pictures on these are the covers of classic books. they would be great as wall art as well as a fun piece of mail.
8. Ring of Asters Sheet Set. $119.95(sale)
- the duvet on my bed is a deep teal with big white doodley flowers and i think these sheets would be a great set to pair with it. i love to mix patterns and i think the yellow, grey and black of these sheets would be a fantastic partner to the dark teal.
9. Savannah Story Ornament, Zebra. $16
- this is such a fun ornament. it was handmade in Haiti with recycled papers so it is eco-friendly as well as a great contribution to the rebuilding of Haiti. also in the herd are an elephant, a giraffe and a rhinoceros. i picked the zebra because they are my favorite animal. i would love to add this little guy to the mix of vintage, elementary school crafted and sparkly ornaments that adorn my tree every year.


well that's it for my christmas wishlist. hope it has inspired happy thoughts of the upcoming holidays. 


check back soon for pictures from the hair show michelle and i were models in. 


hope you've had a happy monday.

anthro. part two.

part two: accessories.
1. Do The Strand Necklace. $458
-this necklace is waaay too expensive so i'll probably never own it but it is the coolest necklace i have ever seen. strands of mini leather bound books! being the book worm that i am (remember i want to be an editor?) this is seriously the perfect necklace for me. maybe my friends and family will realize this and all pitch in to get it for me. (hint, hint)
2. July on Mackinac Necklace. $98
-this is such a fun necklace. it would add a whimsical touch to any outfit.
3. Petal Pouf Bag. $88
-this bag reminds me of an old lady's knitting bag which i love. i have an unusual love for old things or things that remind me of old things. (or things that old people would have) :)
4. Lovingly Prescribed Bag. $198
-i really like the structure of this bag. it reminds me of an oversized coin purse and i love the military vibe it has and the giant wooden buttons.
5. Pony Prix Tights. $28
-aren't these so cute? horses on tights. love it. clearly i have a thing for horses as seen in my freak out over the dress with horses on it in part one. these also come in a fox print. yes please.
6. Lost Glasses Sweater Tights. $38
-i love all these knit tights with unusual items on them. i feel like tights can be such a huge impact on an outfit and i love that these would add such an unexpected bit of playfulness.
7. Wingspan Heels. $98
-these remind me so much of vintage shoes from the 30's. and of peacocks. love.
8.Show Jumping Boots. $348
-i have been searching for some caramel colored flat riding boots and these are lovely. if only my wallet didn't faint every time it saw the price.


up next, home things in part three. see you then.

anthro. part one.

i have wanted to work at anthropologie since the moment i first stepped into one when i was fifteen. about two months ago this dream came true and it is honestly the best job i have ever had. i love being surrounded by all of the beautiful and unique things. from the adorable outfits to the creative displays, i get a dose of inspiration every time i go to work. plus i love all my co-workers too. :)
since we have already started putting out ornaments and christmas cards in the store i thought i would post a very early christmas wishlist of the the things i would love to have.
i'm going to break it up into three parts: clothes, accessories, and home things.
so here is part one. 
clothes:
1. Endless Plains Blouse. $78.
-i love the sweet, femininity of this top. it makes me think of a cutesy farm girl.
2. Fauvism Top. $68.
-this top is so soft and in a great fall floral pattern.
3. Soldierly Sparkle Top. $68.
-a great upgrade on the traditional henley with metallic military like detailing and roll-up sleeves with buttons.
4. Andalusian Horse Dress. $298.
-i love this dress so much! navy, flowy chiffon dress with little white horses all over it, i couldn't ask for anything more.
5. Watercolor Folds Dress. $348.
-great colors on this dress. i also really like the interesting pleating and architecture.
6. Matriarch Skirt. $88.
-love the mustard yellow of this skirt and the geometric girls along the bottom. 
7. Sequin Flame Blazer. $158.
-sequins are so christmas to me so this would be perfect to wear over a dress for holiday parties.
8. Paperbag Crops. $98.
-love the fact that these are high waisted and that the top is bunched. way cute.
9. Shimmering Street Shorts. $98.
-i would totally pair these with dark tights and booties.


well that's it for part one. stay tuned for part two, accessories.
