Not all souvenirs are lame…..

No snow globe of the space needle for me friends.  No sir.

I hit the jackpot at Nordy’s Rack in downtown Seattle while we were there vacationing/conferencing. She was all alone, by her little lonesome, on a designer rack.  I walked by her once. Admired her from afar but knew there wasn’t a chance that she was my size.  Went to check out the shoes.

Nothin’.

Walked by her again…she was still gorgeous.  Surely she couldn’t be my size?!  I circled the accessories, still keeping my eye on her.  I did a wide circle around her….like a shark hunting colorful prey.  Circled again, tighter this time.  Then I was there, upon her.  I quickly flipped the tag over.

NO! WAY!

My size. Price slashed in half, Anthro style.

On the way into the dressing room, 4 women audibly oohed, cooed, and ahhed at her, making me clutch onto her a little tighter, Gollum-like. I may have even whispered…”My Precious.”

As I zipped her up and spun around to face the mirror, I smiled so big I blushed,….and I was the only one in the room.

It was official. I was in love.

Oh Ms. Spade, can I call you Katie?  You have tainted dresses near and far for me.  None shall be quite as exquisitely made as yours. I totally get it now. The whole Kate Spade worship thing.

I am forever your fan.

P.S.  Thank you times a mills goes to the lovely Jennifer of Vintage Hem for the adorable Eyefull of Lace slip I’m wearing.  You basically rock. And your slips?  Genius.

‘Twas the Night Before Anthropologie’s Tag Sale…..

when all through the house, a creature was stirring, checking out a wishlisted blouse!

He-he!

Girlfriends, are you ready?

Ready to descend upon your local Anthro one hour before opening, ready to pounce?  I was told by an angel SA that there are around 900 units of accessories being marked down for the sale. I’ve two things I’m super-duper hoping hit sale so I can get a price adjustment. Aside from that, I’m just interested to see what gets cut! And I’m especially hoping for a $9.95 section!!

We went to go check out a local Food Truck park this past weekend.

Two words:  Going. Back.  I ate this cupcake from the Society Bakery truck that was for reals…smack yo’ mama good. Salted caramel filled yellow cupcake with sea salt chocolate frosting.  I died for a sec, went to heaven, and came back.

Yum.  Plus they had this awesome older-than-me bus just hangin’ out in the parking lot.

Hope your Mother’s Day was wonderful, ladies.  Mine was so fabulous, aside from this monster sinus infection I’ve got loitering in my head.  Ugh.  Breakfast in bed, some homemade lovies from the kids, this butter dish from my GF Mare (you rock!), and this aromatic elixir from MacGyver…(the man SERIOUSLY knows how to pick perfume. Dead sexy).  I was loved. Very loved. And I couldn’t be more grateful.  I’ll show you what I wore for Mother’s Day in the next post. Involves a special something I picked up in Seattle….

‘Til then, may visions of Anthro racks dance in your heads.

The Old Man is Snoring…

and I couldn’t be happier about it.  It’s been raining hard here this week. Pouring!  It’s like a dream come true.  I completely HEART the rain.   So when J.Crew was having it’s additional 30% off of sale items a few weeks ago, I spotted this lovely rain cover, knew it should be mine, and snagged this heartthrob of an umbrella for $11.

Happy as I am about the rain, I’m even happier to peruse Anthro’s site and see the onslaught of New Arrivals at the beginning of each month.

I shall share with you a few items that have pressed my pretty button lately.  I’m not saying all or any of these will make it home with me, sale or no sale….I’m just saying, I noticed them…liked them…..deemed them pretty, and thought they deserved a few words praise and validation.

Oh….also, I’ll be adding a lot of new items to my Shop Anthromollogies page this weekend.  Drop by and take a look….perhaps something will suit your fancy?

Without further ado….bring on the pretty.
