New Anthro Catalog

I just had a chance to take a look at the new anthro catalog (the 2nd catalog issued this month).  Wow!  Finally, there are items that make me say "wow"!  Honestly, the past few catalogs have been a bit disappointing to me.  I remember last fall/winter when I loved almost everything - that has not been the case this year.  This catalog was a breath of fresh air.  

Here are a few items that have piqued my interest:


 Snoa Motocardi - Love, love, love this.  It looks so cozy.


 Ide Lace Skirt - not sure about the length, but the color and texture look gorgeous.









Zodiac  Calendar Cuff  (Hmmmmm - this reminds me of one of my favorite bracelets from last year, the Astrological Maps Bracelet)









ps - have any of you seen the Devin Henley top in your store (moss color, size large)???

Liamolly Grab Box Outcome

I received my Liamolly Grab Box last week!  I actually received 4 items, instead of the expected 3.  Here's what I got:

2 of the items I love, 1 is meh, and 1 is not really my style.  Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.  I think for the  style and quality Liamolly brings to the table, you can't beat the price (the grab box was $75.00). 

I actually wore the Felice Jacket today (I can't believe I'm actually posting an outfit on the day that I wore it!).  It is beautiful, soft, and cozy.  This is definitely my favorite piece.

Here is another outfit featuring one of my new Liamolly pieces.  This cardigan is similar to the Fiona, but not it exactly.  I'm not sure if it's another style that I just can't find or if maybe it's a sample piece or something.  Either way, I love it!

Thanks for the dress, Mom! 
Dress:  Gift from my mom
Cardigan:  Liamolly

UPDATE:  SOLD
Joanna (Farmer Jo) also purchased the grab box.  It sounds like she got some really lovely pieces.  one of her sweaters has a coin purse pocket (jealous!).  However, one of them is not really her style and she wants to sell it.  
It is a size small and is medium weight/super soft.  It does say sample.  Price is $30 + shipping.  I wish it were my size:)  If you are interested in purchasing, email Joanna directly at:  jopiatek@gmail.com


If you got a grab box, let me know what you ended up with!

Blustery

 I hope all of you east-coaster's are safe and dry.  Sending positive thoughts your direction!

This is an outfit from a few days ago.  The Blustery Days Jacket is one of my favorite pieces.  For some reason, it feels really luxurious.    I like to try to get in at least a few wearings during the fall.  

I'm off to tackle some laundry (or maybe just read a book:).  I plan on posting about my Liamolly grab box very soon - I can't wait to show you guys what I got!

Two-Wheeler: Fall Edition

I decided to start my day off with a nice yoga class this morning.  I went with a friend and we decided to go to a yoga studio that we used to frequent, but we haven't visited in a while.  We showed up early and the doors were locked.  We thought maybe the instructor just wasn't there yet.  It was cold and rainy so went back to the car to wait.  We waited....and waited....and waited.  When it was time for the class to start, we went back to the door and upon further inspection, we realized that the whole place was shut down.  The building was completely empty.  Ugh!  So, no yoga for me today.  We went out for coffee instead:)    

This is my outfit from yesterday.  I typically wear this dress in the spring/summer (see here and here), but I think it works for this time of year too.

Pumpkin

I am obsessed with pumpkin right now.  Obsessed.  I can't stop. 

This is the best pumpkin beer I've had.

Homemade pumpkin granola, perfect with vanilla greek yogurt.  Recipe here.

Pumpkin +  goat cheese = heaven

Yes.

Homemade pumpkin waffles.  These were great!  I made a big batch and froze some of them to eat during the week for breakfast.  Spread a bit of almond butter on it and fold it over like a little waffle sandwich = perfect breakfast.  Recipe here.
