Oh I LOVE the last 2!

^^I took a Large in the sweater, I usually take a M or a L at Anthro if the piece is fitted. I'm 'bigger' on top {36DD} and not too small shoulders.
It's perfect to layer over a tank or tight cap sleeve tee and it's just as gorj undone as it is snapped. Love this!

Right now I am in love with my bold boutonniere dress - it is great for the spring/summer but can definitely be worn into the fall with a sweater and tights.

beautiful!! There's a similar dress in black there now!

I've been shopping at Anthro for a few years now and love it! They always carry something unique compared to other chain stores.

Willow Bend is my fave then Npark or HPark. I've only been to Slake store a couple times - they have the best shoe selection there.

I bought the below... what do you girls think?

Also picked up the Gumshoe Sweatercoat in store (in purple)... love it!!

I'm slowly turning into an anthro addict (thanks to online friends who love the store). I love this top!

Allihop
Pinkerton
Tabitha
Most of their trousers/skirts
Eloise

But they also carry outside vendors: Christopher Deane, Velvet, Ella Moss, Splendid, AG, Joe's, Totem (Brazilian label), Tracy Reese, Plenty by Tracy Reese, LA Made, Garcon...

I try not to buy too many house brands, unless it is something that I absolutely HAVE to have because it is perfect... Keep in mind, Anthro is part of Urban Outfitters. It's really just Urban for an older demographic, so the house brands aren't really made any better than the Urban house brands. Actually, they are probably made in the same factory. The outside vendors are a little different with some of them being made in Los Angeles. A lot of the shoes they carry are made in Spain...

In my experience, the house brand sweaters hold up much better than their jersey!

missbanff · Sep 23rd, 2009, 06:47 AM

Are Odille and Elevenses house brands also or are they sold elsewhere?

Swanky Mama Of Three · Sep 23rd, 2009, 09:37 AM

Little Yellow Button, Ric Rac and Moth are FAB IMO! Haven't had any pilling issues yet.
I also love hei hei although it runs huge.

I love this outfit!!

Needanotherbag · Sep 23rd, 2009, 01:11 PM

I've been looking at their clothes for awhile now - the closest store is about 40 miles from my house, but I think I'll go next week and see what I can - thanks for reminding me of another option!

Swanky Mama Of Three · Sep 23rd, 2009, 01:35 PM

my advice is leave ample time there.
The way they sold me was when teh SA took my clothes to start a dressing room, she also sort of stuffed it w/ other stuff I would have never picked out for myself. She had noticed my frame, checked my sizes and made some awesome suggestions. I ended up buying 2 pieces SHE snuck in and nothing I chose, LOL!

It taught me to just try on anything I even remotely like there, I'm often very surprised by what ends up working for me vs what I THOUGHT would work.

Needanotherbag · Sep 23rd, 2009, 02:35 PM

Good advice - thanks! I noticed their stuff is classic with a little trend thrown in here and there, which is how I dress - I'm really not a trend follower.

The sale items on the website - do you think I'd find the same at the actual store? Theres a dress I am dying over but need to try all dresses on before buying, as its like shopping for jeans with me, most dont work.

Swanky Mama Of Three · Sep 23rd, 2009, 02:55 PM

probably, my Anthro's sale section is usually pretty big, I see most of the online Sale stuff at my store.

purseaddict** · Sep 23rd, 2009, 06:47 PM

I LOVE Anthro! It is my favorite store although I am now on a ban from hubby until after the New Year. There is going to be an Anthro opening in Fort Worth soon! I can't wait!

I usually go to NP Mall and have been to Southlake. I didn't know there was one at WB! Will have to check it out!
