Sneak Peak and some Anthro reviews!

Happy Friday loves! I don't have all the photos from the AMAZING event at my (yes, it's mine) Anthropologie last night, but I wanted to give you a little taste of what we got to do. Once I have them, you'd better believe I'll post a recap. Can't express how truly lovely a night it was! Thanks again Alicia! My night involved this:

And a little of the bubbly, which I actually liked!

Anyways, I couldn't go try on a bunch of lovely things without doing some reviews for you all! I must admit however that my reviewing is a little sparce. I got majorly distracted by all the people, the lovely sales assistants flitting about and the cupcakes. I also spent about 20 minutes in the secret shoe "tent" drooling over $400 Frye boots.

Live and learn. Anyway, here goes!

I tried on the Lorillard Blouse (Size 4) by accident. I thought it was one of the new white blouses (there are like 5 that are seriously drool worthy) but it wasn't. I kind of liked it with the Alena Skirt (size 6), $88.00 though. The whole thing felt very 1940's. I really loved the light, airy chiffon of this skirt and the fit was perfect. The rich blue is pretty, although a little plain, but I added this skirt to my Wishlist.

I was in a major high-waist, wide-leg pant mood, mostly because they look so cute on the models in the catalog, so one of the sales associates brought me the Pilcro Wide Leg Trouser Jeans (Size 28). They actually looked cute on, but I'm either a dark or light wash kind of person and these were just too in between.

I tried this top (Small) with the trouser jeans, which I haven't spotted on the website yet and LOVED it. This one shall be mine, I just couldn't bear to pay $78 for a tank top. I mean we have a lawn mower to buy. Priorities.:)

The second pair of wide leg pants I tried were the Set Sail Trousers (Size 8). I ADORE these pants. The wash is so cool and vintage. The pockets, buttons and seams look like they are right out of the 1940's and although I had to size up for the perfect fit/length, I think these will eventually make their way to my closet. I wish they would have been steamed though, they look funny in this shot.

On top of the Set Sail Trousers, I put the Prevailing Winds Tank (Size 4). I loved the fit, the deep blue color and the gorgeous Stream Bank Sash (S/M) the merchandising manager strapped on me. I don't usually shop in "outfits," but I was sorely tempted to take this three piece ensemble home with me. I resisted the temptation however, once I calculated and realized my entire month's clothes budget would be blown on three items. Wishlisted!

The Thoroughfare Shell (Small) was a pleasant surprise. I grabbed it with the "take one for the team" attitude, figuring I'd review it for my readers, but wouldn't really like it. I actually loved it! The texture is so thick and lovely (especially for a cream top) and the ruffles on the front are subtle yet interesting. It's a great shape and a great color combo. Definitely adding this one to the Wishlist.

And the Smooth Sailing Wide-Legs (Size 6) were the final pair of wide-leggers I tried on. And these are the item I just can't make my mind up on. The fit was great, the style is adorable, the linen is oh so lovely. But white linen, white linen is SEE THROUGH. And though there are pockets in the back...there is no pockets in the front. Quite a conundrum. We'll see when sale time comes around how I'm feeling about them.

Well, that's all for now my friends. I can't wait to tell you all about the event, but until then, have a spectacular weekend! Oh...and I'll show you what I did buy soon too!:)
