</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't seen this Girls From Savoy skirt on the website, but it is adorable! It is a blend of teal and a cream color and has cute little pockets in the front. I tried on a size 2, my normal skirt size, and it fit perfectly. The fabric is cotton. It hit slightly above my knees, so it may be a little short for work, but would be cute with some flat sandals for casual summer weekends.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The material is silk and the way it flowed away from my hips was so flattering... I definitely need this skirt!!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I tried on the pink and grey version in a xs and the fit was great. The little metallic threads throughout really make the sweater special! :)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been waiting forever for the dress to come to my store ever since I saw it online. I was really drawn to the colors and they are just as pretty in real life! I tried on the size zero and the fit was super flattering... LOVE this dress!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wasn't necessarily excited about this dress when I saw it online, but it grabbed my attention when I saw it in the stores. The print is really cute and it fit like a dream. I can also see myself wearing the dress to work with a grey cardigan over it.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had been admiring the Phosphorescent Dress ever since it appeared on the website. The dress is just as pretty in real life, but I tried on a size 0 and while it fit across the top it was pulling across the hips on the bottom. I could try on a size 2, but I think it will be too loose across the top... I really wanted to like this dress, but the fit was just off for me.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was so excited to see the In A Twinkling Dress at my store! The dress is so pretty in real life and the cut is really flattering! I tried on the size zero and it fit just right. I love, love this dress, but I agree with the reviews on the anthro website stating that the metallic dots are really itchy... that being said, the cuteness of the dress overpowers the itchyness and I took this one home with me! ♥ </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Majestic Cypress Toile Dress is so pretty! The bodice is really flattering, the skirt is just the right amount of poofy and the print is pretty and unique! I loved this dress and it would have come home with me if it wasn't for the high price tag... this will be mine once it hits sale though!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I finally got around to trying on some dresses at anthro! Please excuse the boots I'm wearing in all the pics... It was rainy and overcast when I went shopping, but I couldn't resist trying on these dresses</span></span>!</span></div></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-5GX5P3e5NE/S8U2_rd3_0I/AAAAAAAAAc4/44N9X_mFD64/s1600/IMG_0465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-5GX5P3e5NE/S8U2_rd3_0I/AAAAAAAAAc4/44N9X_mFD64/s400/IMG_0465.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the colors on the Primula Dress and was immediately attracted to the sweetheart neckline. The dress fit like a glove and I like that the skirt of the dress has just the right amount of poof! :) Although this is a halter dress the neckline wasn't too low and I could see myself wearing this to work with a cardigan. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-5GX5P3e5NE/S8U3bp1BlqI/AAAAAAAAAdI/6jkFNEOjKYU/s1600/IMG_0467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-5GX5P3e5NE/S8U3bp1BlqI/AAAAAAAAAdI/6jkFNEOjKYU/s400/IMG_0467.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The stock picture of the Everywhere Dress does not look very appealing, but when I saw the picture of the dress on the model my interest in the dress peaked... I tried on an xs in the dress and the fabric is super soft and comfortable! I originally was just so-so on the dress, but it is growing on me more as I look at the pictures... It was really hard to evaluate the dress because I was wearing boots, but with a strappy pair of gold heels I think this dress has potential. The xs was even a little big on me, so I would recommend sizing down.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-5GX5P3e5NE/S8U3-GGbg1I/AAAAAAAAAdg/vEkRHHH0Cak/s1600/IMG_0469.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-5GX5P3e5NE/S8U3-GGbg1I/AAAAAAAAAdg/vEkRHHH0Cak/s400/IMG_0469.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I fell in love with the Roped In Dress when I saw it in the new catalog. It is such a perfect dress for summer and has a light cotton fabric. I tried on a size zero and the dress fit great... the bodice was fitted and the skirt flowed away from my hips in the most flattering way! This dress is definitely on my wishlist!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I tried on a size zero and while the dress fit on the top, there was some bunching around the hip area... I loved the dress so much that I'm hoping if I size up to a size 2 it won't bunch as much...</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The colors are just as pretty in real life as they are online and I love the accordion style fabric of the dress. Most of the reviews online mention that it is just a bunch of fabric and not flattering, but I actually liked the dress and thought that with the sash tied right under the bust it was super cute! I could also see how this could be way too long on shorter girls because I am 5'7" and it came right to my knees. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, but the colors are gorgeous in real life! I sized up to a 2 knowing that this dress was slim fitting on the lower half and I have some hips and it fit perfectly! The pleating around the hips worried me a little, but because I sized up the pleats weren't an issue at all. I took this home with me ♥</span></span></div>vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16318643934391032992noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496901696705407875.post-28523556263420578622010-02-25T06:38:00.000-08:002010-02-25T06:38:04.341-08:00sunshine<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />

In the past my wardrobe has been split between Jcrew, Banana Republic and Anthropologie... I haven't been to Banana Republic in a while, but lately I find myself choosing Anthropologie over Jcrew. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Jcrew, but lately they just don't have anything that's really impressing me and Anthro continues to have piece after piece that I NEED to have! :)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tried on the Air Mail skirt in my normal size zero and I was a bit thrown off because as some reviews on the website mention, it is like a pencil skirt with two side flowy panels... slightly confusing. I decided to size up to a 2 and the pencil skirt aspect wasn't as noticeable and the skirt looked more like all one piece. I LOVE the print and waistband detailing, and the skirt has so many colors it it I can imagine pairing it with tons of different tops. </span></span></div><br />

Head to anthropologie!! :)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew I would never buy the Blooming Brilliance Blouse at full price ($228), but something about it intrigued me and I decided to try it on. First off, the silk material is very thin and almost see-through... kinda unbelievable with such an outrageous price tag. That being said, the fit was great and the color is gorgeous. The ruffle on the shoulder is just a little too big for me though with nothing to balance it out on the other side.... </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the vintage feel of the Swinging Sweetheart Dress and it's unlike any other dress I own. I tried on a size zero and the fit was perfect. The dress hit right at my knees and I'm 5'7", so it might be a little long on shorter ladies. I didn't think I would be too impressed with this dress, but fell in love when I tried it on.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why oh why do I love every single dress that Corey Lynn Calter makes?? This darling dress isn't online yet, but I stopped in my steps when I saw it at my local store. The print is so cute and the fit is just right. I didn't take a picture of the back, but it it a deep v with a little bow that you can tie... so adorable! I must have this dress! ♥</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really wanted to like the Peeking Needlework dress, but it just didn't work for me. I tried on the size zero, but I still felt like it was big and it made me feel bigger... The material is really pretty in real life and I think I would have really liked it if the fit would have been better... maybe it'll work on someone else!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

It looked so cute online and I was really excited to try it on, but it is completely shapeless and the belt didn't go around my natural waist, but more around my hips... definite pass!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I loved the Star Sprinkled Cardi when I first saw it online... the color and embellishment makes it a truly unique piece. My store didn't have an extra small, so I ended up trying on the small and to be completely honest, it was pretty boxy and the length was super short... just not the most flattering on my body. I really wanted to like this cardi and I did love the color and embellishments in real life, it was just the shape that really turned me off. For $188, I want an AMAZING cardigan that is perfect in every way and this just didn't do it.</span></span></div><br />

The print is so cute and the colors are gorgeous. I tried on a size zero and it fit perfectly. Definitely going back for this one! :)</span></span></div><br />

I tried on the extra small and the fit was just right. The material is super comfy and at $98 the price isn't bad either. Some of the reviews online mention that the ruffles are not on the sides of the dress, but that didn't bother me one bit. </span></span></div><br />

I took a size zero and I love that the length is long enough for my long torso. The top is so pretty and feminine... I can imagine dressing it up with a pencil skirt and cardi or just wearing it with jeans. Some reviews have mentioned that the sash doesn't stay well, but I just tied it pretty tight and it seemed to work for me... this definitely goes on the wishlist!</span></span></div>vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16318643934391032992noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496901696705407875.post-61484226088322488572010-02-01T20:50:00.000-08:002010-02-01T20:50:00.688-08:00pretending it's spring<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">♥ It's definitely not spring time yet and not really spring weather this week in California, but I still can't help but wear poufy skirts, bright colors and bows! ♥</span></span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was automatically drawn to the Breeze Along Cami, for obvious reasons (ruffles), and it is so pretty in real life! I tried on my normal size zero and the fit was perfect. I feel like I already have so many ruffle camis like this though, so I passed.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was so excited to finally see the Snow-Covered Fields Dress at my local Anthropologie! I really wanted to love this dress, but it just didn't end up working for me.... I tried on a size zero and the top part fit perfectly, but the bottom part was pretty snug across my hips, which led to some bunching across the tummy area. I guess I technically could size up to a 2, but I would be afraid that the top part would be too loose. At 5'7" the dress came a few inches above my knees, which is higher than I usually like, and also means that I can't wear it to work comfortably. I may go back and try on the size 2, but for now the dress was a pass.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I immediately fell in love with the dress once I tried it on... The colors compliment each other perfectly, the fabric is really soft and the flare on the skirt is super flattering. I could see ladies with larger chests having to size up though because there was just barely enough room for me in the chest area. I also think I have fairly small arms, but because of the rolled sleeves the arm area was a little bit tight on me. This is a comfortable, flattering, casual spring dress and I definitely recommend it... it ended up coming home with me! :)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

I tried on a size zero and the fit was perfect. The skirt is pretty poofy, but I don't mind that in dresses at all :) Overall, the dress was really cute, but it just didn't blow me away like some of the other anthro dresses. Maybe I'll come back to this one after a sale. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Jcrew always manages to get me with their pencil skirts! As much as I wanted the new floral petal top I paired it with in the photo, I told myself I already had things to pair with it in my closet. I paired it with a white, silk cami and lavender cardigan, but I could also see a dark grey or rust color top going great with it as well. I stopped by jcrew again after work yesterday and they had all of the new spring stuff out, and while I liked some of the new arrivals there was nothing that I really had to have - *whew*!</span></span><br />

I wanted to take pics the first time I wore it, but I spilled some lunch on it (I'm very clumsy) and I figured pictures of the dress with a food spot wouldn't be the most flattering... Thank goodness I have a good drycleaner!</span></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">The lime juice dress was part of the new spring anthro arrivals and while I wasn't that crazy about it from pictures online, I immediately fell in love when I tried it on in the store. The color is so pretty and unique and I love the ruffles and tie neck. I was a little worried about the dress wrinkling because it is silk and I sit in an office all day... I'm gonna be honest, the dress does wrinkle a bit, but it's really not that bad! I took these pics after a long day at work of sitting at my desk and you can see some wrinkles, but they really aren't that distracting.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ever since I saw the Larkspur Caplet Dress online I had been waiting very patiently for it to arrive in stores. This dress looked so gorgeous online, but I was getting a bit worried when I saw the bad reviews it was getting on the anthro website... I took my regular size 0 and the fit was just right. I do have to agree with the reviews on the anthro website that say that the material is very thin... for an $188 dress I expect the material to be more substantial. The picture of the dress online is also a bit deceiving because it is actually a halter style dress and there isn't any material covering your back except for the caplet. I'm 5'7" and the dress went right to my knees, so I could see this being too long on shorter girls. Overall the dress was just okay to me and maybe something I would pick up on sale...</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lace and ruffles? Yes please! :) The Bayeux Top is so pretty and feminine - I love it! I took my normal size extra small and it fit great. The top was a little short on my long torso, but something I could definitely deal with. I would pair this with a lighter pink cardigan and grey pencil skirt for work. </span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't have too many jersey type shirts, but the floral print and ruffles on the Suave Shell were really calling out to me. I tried on the grey one that is online, but they also had one that was navy in the store. I took an extra small in the top and it was just the right kind of flowy. The ruffles laid perfectly across the floral print is just too cute!</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The flower details on the Pratia tank are so cute! I took an extra small in the top and it was a little loose fitting, but I just think that's the way the top is supposed to fit. I wasn't too crazy about the bubble hem, but the material was super soft and I like the flower embellishments because they're a great way to spice up a regular jersey top. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was love at first sight with the Off The Tie Rack Blouse... The print, the cut, the colors - everything about it is beautiful! I took a size zero and it fit like a glove. Everything about this top is so unique and I loved it! My only problem is I really only like to purchase items that I can wear to both work and on the evenings/weekends and this top is definitely not work appropriate... It was because of this reason that I didn't end up getting the top, but I keep thinking that this top is also just too pretty to pass up!</span></span><br />

I posted my review of both items two posts below. The skirt is pretty bright for my conservative office, so I paired it with a long, black cardigan to tone everything down a bit!</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was so excited to finally see the On A Wing blouse at my local store. Okay, I'm not gonna lie here, the buttons on the side of the top are a pain in the BUTT! I think it took me almost 10 minutes just to unbutton and then re-button them... what I do for fashion! That being said the top, is lovely.... I love the draping and the fit. I usually take a size zero in anthro tops, but the smallest size at my store was a 2 in this top and the size 2 fit great.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm normally not a fan of t-shirts... I like skirts and dresses and ruffles and everything girly, but there was something about this shirt that was calling out to me... I think I have a thing for random prints. I took a size xs in the Country Manor top and it's super soft and comfy. I really liked this top, but before I go back and get it I need to think of some ways in which I might dress it up a bit.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the frills and stripes blouse... I mean, I like ruffles, but this is A LOT of ruffles! I know I'm copying the catalog here, but the Gainsborough Pencil Skirt really does go perfectly with the top. The blue of the top matches the blue in the skirt almost exactly and it just brings everything together. I went with a size 2 in the skirt and even then it was still pretty form fitting. The skirt is also high-waisted, so it went all the way up to my natural waist. This is the perfect spring/summer outfit... or outfit for now in CA :)</span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With the Sun Dot Dress looks can be deceiving... I wanted to like this dress, I really did, but there was just way too many things wrong. I went with my normal size zero and what you can't see too well in the picture above is that there are pleats right where the top bodice ends. Because the rest of the dress is form-fitting, the pleats just add volume to the tummy area and I automatically look like I'm five months pregnant... I'm not...</span></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The dress just gets worse in the back... Okay, so I may have a little more junk in the trunk than the average girl, but because of the pleats on the back of this dress it made me look like I had another butt right on top of my normal butt... an extra long, double butt was what this dress gave me... I think that is my worst nightmare... I immediately took the dress off!!</span></span><br />
