this is not a dress rehearsal: I don't do malls...

I don't do malls. There are lots of reasons. I always seem to spend more money than I intend to. Lots of smells and fabric finishes that don't agree with me (allergic to a lot of perfumes, some chemicals used to die clothing and whatever is used to cure leather), it's hot, there are a lot of people. What a downer I am! :)

But, if I were to go to a mall - I'd go with the express purpose of visiting a store I've never seen in person. Anthropologie. Their clothes are funky. Their jewelry is unique. Their homegoods - a.maz.ing!

A steal at $14.00

Umm hello - black, gray, yellow....I likey

crazy shower curtain - a little froufy for me - but super cute.

Reminds me of Donna Downey's ruffled bags.

I think I want these....or something close!

Crazy lamp! All I can think is how dusty it'll get - but I think my favorite part of their site? That they show what the lamp looks lit! That's an important part - that most of the time we don't ever get to see until we've purchased and taken it home!

happy rug!

Oh typography - how I love thee!

The only thing that would make this chest better is if all those drawers were actually real - instead they are grouped for drawers and a cabinet door on the right.
