As seen while Browsing..........

This is that chair I mentioned recently. So fall-ish... I love it! I want it badly.

There's a table I want to show you, but I can't get the photo off my cell at the moment.

You'll recall that Holly from Decor 8 wrote about this artist a while ago and how Lorena stumbled upon this amazing opportunity.

One can never have enough bracelets

This is the Bon Jour Bracelet.

Anthro: Scavenger Hunt T-Straps

These T-STRAPS caught my eye from a distance... and I was thinking the heel was a bit too chunky, but not too high. Then all of a sudden I zoomed in on the bow because it looked uneven and saw it was a BOW OF ZIPPERS!!

I didn't know I could love a zipper bow!!!! But I do.

Delivery for moi!

So, first things first, I must tell you that I received my Pleasure Hunter Jacket this Saturday to be exact. I ordered Tuesday, so how's that for super fast delivery!!! I love the jacket. It fits perfectly.
My husband carried in the mail that day and with his hands full he looks at me and says 'what did you order now?' I said, I don't know, let me see. Because sometimes, you kind of forget and that's why I love mail. It always seems like a bit of a suprise!

Oh how I love Friday........

wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!! Do something fun!! I want to try to get in one last beach weekend!

On its way.............

Well I received a mail from Anthro saying that my order shipped today. So that is pretty cool!!!!

Online shopping

So here's what I ordered yesterday. I've been eyeing this Brown Pleasure hunter jacket and when I saw it on sale ($49. was $98) and in my size I had to grab it right there. They have it in Ivory too.

If you've been reading this blog from the beginning...you know I haven't ordered online since my experience with the boots. So that was quite a while ago, Oct/Dec 05.

Let's hope this one is better. I'm sure it will be! Anyway.. I normally like to shop in person, to see the details, to touch, look in the mirror etc. etc. But sometimes, it's nice to get goodies in the mail too!

Giraffe Dress.........on sale

was $498...now $249.95 (still pricey....)

slightly side tracked....shhh

Yes I am all Anthro on this blog. But I just received some lovely, seriously good stuff from a designer in Austria, Cyrille Gulassa. And I can't say enough good things about her. So if you want to know more, visit me here to get the scoops and see what I bought. You won't be disappointed, I promise! (since we do have the same taste)

OK..now back to our regularly scheduled posts. ha!

a browsing we will go.......

Yes, I ran my errand (to pick up a gorgeous framed blackboard for kitchen) and dashed over to Anthro for a little leisurely stroll. And I didn't buy a thing. But I always leave with ideas. And yes there were too many things that I sighed over. Too many, but that is always the case.

I saw 2 chairs that just looked sooo good in person, the first was this Madeline chair.

And uh oh... the second one... doesn't seem to be online. It looked very close to this helsinki floral astrid chair. But I swear the pattern was more for fall and a little more taupe. I should have taken a photo with my cell. oh well, next time.

So on to sweaters...... this Ruffled Cattail cardigan looked so delicious I wanted to eat it! So pretty. And I love, love sleeves that are actually long enough for me!!

I just may have to break down and get one. I promised myself that I would be focusing on my home for a bit and not my wardrobe. ughhhh

And this beauty below was taken with my cell....so excuse the quality. But I can't find it online in a hurry. The bottom is lace-like and feels so delicate and it has an oversized hood. So pretty!

To go or not to go.......

I'm debating whether I should make the run to Anthro at lunch. I really should run some errands. BUT I really want to take a stroll through and see all the new lovlies they have.

Oh, what to do, what to do! So tempting............ ughhhh

Check out this Grable swing coat......I think I'm just drawn to the bright raspberry color, because I'm not sure this fit would flatter me.

Well, I let you know if I was 'good' or not after lunch!

Mirror Mirror on the wall...........

if you can't read it...... it says 'Who's the fairest of them all?'
This ring makes me smile........... I think it would be fun to wear!!
Aren't you replaying the whole story in your head right now?

Thursday........ Hello friends!!

I can't believe I've come back mid week. Usually I need atleast a day to unwind. But anyway.....it was a lovely, relaxing week. It was crazy HOT, high 90's all week?!!!

I definitely had internet withdrawls, it was tough for a blog addict like myself. I missed reading my daily design/ crafty blogs. But last night, I caught up a bit and loved it.

Time to find some goodies online...........................

I'm lovin the mini-bags!!! And this fluffy knit bow below is perfect. I think it makes the bag!

Sweet vacation, here I come..........

The plan is to lounge on a sandy blanket, sipping ice cold Pina coladas on the lovely shores of Myrtle Beach (SC) until the 15th........

Wish me sunny days!!

Monday......what I'm craving

Gosh.......I really like these Grand Illusion boots. The Grommets and sidewinding laces are awesome! And look, a reasonable size heel! Love that!

Anthropologie $478.00

It's Friday.........and I'm oh so glad.........

I'm looking forward to the weekend. We are throwing a 75th bday party for my Lovely Mother-in-Law and let me tell you she looks amazing. I hope I look half as good as her when I'm that age.

Anyway....I hope you have some fun things planned. Enjoy this first weekend of August!

Here's my pick this morning.........these tiki-style Raiatea rings are pretty, pretty, pretty. The red is my favorite... I love the punch of color, especially on nice tan hands : )

Very affordable at $28.00
