Like a Moth to a Flame.

*MORE SELECTIONS ADDED TO SHOP ANTHROMOLLOGIES THIS WEEKEND! STOP BY AND CHECK IT OUT!!*

Oh dear.

Anthro’s gone and taunted me again with their brilliant accessories, particularly with this big, round, gloriously voluminous beaded piece to adorn my clavicle.

Primary Spheres Big Necklace

Primary Spheres Bib Necklace

I cannot for the life of me resist statement pieces like this one.

I’m like a moth to a flame. I might as well tattoo my forehead with “Take me to your leader” so they know where I am when a spaceship shaped like a big-beaded statement necklace arrives on planet earth and I go missing.

Wearing: Top-Anthropologie, Skirt-Anthropologie San Pedro Skirt, Tights-Anthro, Shoes-Anthropologie High-Glossed Loafers, Necklace-Anthropologie Primary Spheres Bib Necklace, Bracelet-Anthropologie

Wearing: Top-Anthropologie Lace Peplum Blouse, Skirt-Anthropologie, Tights-Anthro, Shoes-Anthropologie High-Glossed Loafers, Necklace-Anthropologie Primary Spheres Bib Necklace, Bracelet-Anthropologie Pinspark Cuff

I was also experimenting with the solid line of color from tights to shoes here. I felt a little bit like a figure skater….

….except TOTALLY not as flexible. (Dang, girl!!)

My new clavicle companion came home with me because this didn’t work out (totally see through between the thighs. Not good.)

I also took home this baby:

Novelty Collar Tee- runs big, I took a small.

and this aforementioned lovely:

Pearled Posey Cardigan

Pearled Posey Cardigan

…which was almost COMPLETELY sold out in all sizes at my store. If I were the Anthro betting kind, I’d say this one ain’t makin’ it to sale. And, as I stated before, this cardi is not as long as it appears on the model. It’s a cropped length. Just FYI.

Any other moths out there? Pray tell.

Junk in my Trunk

***BE SURE TO STOP BY SHOP ANTHROMOLLOGIES AS I’VE ADDED LOTS OF NEW GOODIES TO BE PURCHASED, AND WILL BE ADDING MORE THIS WEEK!! Contact me at molly@anthromollogies.com if interested.

To shift or not to shift? That is the question.

Shift dresses in general are a tough fit on me. My man shoulders and He-Man ribcage require a bigger size up top than I need for my bottom, so I’m left with a bit of sag down-under, like it looks as if I need a lil’ more junk in my trunk to fill it out.

So what to do? I can’t go walking around looking like a deflated hot air balloon, right? Not cool.

Enter: The Belt.

I belt the heck out of those shift dresses and Voila! Saggy bottom solved.

Wearing: Dress-Anthropologie Split Diamond Shift, Sweater-J.Crew Tippi, Belt-Anthropologie Deco Diamond, Slip-Handmade by me, Shoes-Anthropologie, Necklace-Anthropologie Caleta

Speaking of Trunks….remember this post here? About Bonjour Biqui?

Well, clothe me happy….the one and only visionary Blanquita, creator of Bonjour Biqui, is having a trunk show TOMORROW NIGHT here in San Antonio. I am lucky enough to be attending and wearing one of her creations! I can’t wait!! It’s downtown in a vintage hangout called the Liberty Bar, with smooth LIVE jazz (played by her own father’s group!!), tastey beverages, and excellent clothing to be had. Come join us!

I dropped by Anthro this morn to pick up the Trunk Show dress for tomorrow night, and had a moment in the dressing room with the following crushes:

Pearled Posey Cardigan

Pearled Posey Cardigan- Holy cow, it was like saying goodbye to Ryan Gosling leaving this one behind. SO. HARD. Lovely fit. Took a size Medium. FYI: It hit at a cropped length on me, not nearly as long as it appears on the model. She’s obvi wearing two sizes too big.

Accordion Midi Dress

Accordion Midi Dress- Infatuated. Period. Problem is that I’d want to line it with a better slip option. It’s basically a ribbed knit spaghetti strap slip underneath. I wish they would have taken the lining all the way to the hem. It’s a gorgeous gray/blue color. Took a size medium, and had to wiggle the elastic band over the lady lumps. HIGHEST of HIGHS on my wishlist.

 

Pan-Pearled Cardigan

Pan-Pearled Cardigan-I would LAY DOWN AND DIE for this color. LOVE!! Took a size Medium. Fit is wonderful. SUPER high on my wishlist.

Colorpom Tank

Colorpom Tank – One of my absolute FAVORITE things I’ve had on my bod lately. I couldn’t resist this one…think Gollum: my precious!! I had to have it. The fit is fantastic. I took a size Medium. Such a fun top!

Aside from the Colorpom Tank, I had to leave the others behind because I may have placed a phone order yesterday that involved the purchase of this:

Painted Carousel Shell

Painted Carousel Shell -back ordered til 3/14.

and this:

Stripewise Chemise

Stripewise Chemise

More reviews to come this week. Can’t wait to hear whether or not any of you have gone all Gollum on any Anthro pieces lately. Care to tell which ones?

Smell My Hands.

You don’t know fear until you have your kids say those three little words to you multiple times a day.

“Why,” I ask, as I scrutinize their tiny fingers from a safe distance. C’mon, I’m no dummy. I’ve been taken for a sucker too many times, leaning in to smell them before they explain how they’ve just held a “wet toad” in our back yard, or that they’ve been petting a a bunch of stray kittens that hang out near our neighbor’s domicile. Or being told “they smell like throw up” on the way up to my nose. Yeah…awesome.

“Just smell them,” my little five-year-old daughter urged me the other day as she shoved them in my face. Thankfully karma was on my side this time. I was met with the sweet smell of wisteria and honey. “Ooh…those smell good, babe!” I said.

Grinning from ear to ear, she said, “Yep, they smell like Anfropologie.”

And I wept with pride and joy.

And for the record, I never want her to pronounce her “th” sound correctly. I much prefer the grammatical error. :)

Wearing: Top-Anthropologie (Ooooold), Skirt-J.Crew No.2 pencil skirt in Double serged wool Jade tall length, Belt-Banana Republic, Shoes-Anthropologie Tegu Platforms, Earrings-Anthropologie Seraglio Geode Drops, Bracelet-Anthropologie Deco Trinket

These earrings are some serious razzle-dazzle bidness, but I’m totally into them. Just gotta be sure to keep the rest of the ensemble somewhat tame. I finally pulled the trig on them when the extra 25 off kicked in once they were on sale.

Finding out they were called “Seraglio Geode Drops” kinda sealed the deal too. Turkish Palace? I’m in. Concubine…not so much.

Hope your week is wrapping up nicely, my friends. We’re fixin’ to be serious Texans this weekend by hitting the Rodeo and Stock show downtown. Yee-ha!
