lulla by bindya ombre polka scarf

these lovelies stopped me dead in my tracks on friday. i fell hard for the sumptuous ombre dyed wool-silk speckled with silver foil and the surprisingly friendly price point. i had to separate myself from the situation before i snapped up all four on the spot. now that i’ve mulled it over, i’ve decided that i’m going for the green.

or maybe the orange.

aw, hell.

$58 at anthropologie.

tuesday shoesday: anthropologie trinket flat

i adore a twist on an old classic, especially a twist that adds a unique and special detail. these bold and beautiful suede flats from anthropologie are perfect on their own – the color selection could not be more on point for fall – but adding extra oomph is the presence of adorable metal charms. such a sweet bonus to this wardrobe staple! they come in half sizes, fit true to size with a comfy foot bed and just the right amount of toe cleavage. i’m pretty dead set on the green…or maybe the navy.

anyway, if you’re looking for a dynamite skimmer to go with your skinnies come autumn, these pairs are tons of fun and a whole lot of pretty for under a hundred bucks!

anthropologie trinket flats in acorn, feather, beetle and leaf are available online for $98.

tuesday shoesday: seychelles anthology gladiator

i live for seychelles footwear. they reign queen of the everyday shoe and for as long as i can remember i’ve scoured the shelves at nordstrom rack looking for low-priced pairs of this beloved brand – they’re my favorite, favorite.

it’s no surprise that this season i’ve been totally lusting the “golden grove” sandals at anthropologie. something about the cool shape, gorgeous beading, and back zipper make them unlike anything else in my closet. it was love at first click, but i fell deeper after closer inspection when i discovered they’re by seychelles (dubbed the anthology gladiator everywhere else but anthro).

and then i discovered that they were $90.

until today.

the golden grove sandals are now on sale for $49.95 at anthropologie and still available in all sizes.

little bow peep

bows are totally having a moment and while i admit to being super girly, i’ve never been one for lots of fluff and frills. i also think if you’re not careful, something with bows can look childish. however, if done correctly, bows can be a super sweet way to accessorize so here are two ways to safely sport the trend, from head to toe:

at $15 i can’t think of a better way to adorn your ballerina bun than these sparkly little bobby pins from anthropologie

and something about the glossy patent leather and perfect nude color on the dv by dolce vita dakota sandal makes me think that these would go with, oh, just about every last thing in my closet.

have you seen bows popping up all over? any other bow-dacious looks you’re loving? tell me below!

let’s wrap: the scarf necklace

i am completely smitten with this new wrap/jewelry hybrid at anthropologie. behold, the voluminous scarf necklace:

{top to bottom: natural, mauve, rust}

the color combos are simply stunning (the rust is a must see in person) but i’m loving the natural one for its versatility and those awesome wood beads. the fluffy combination of linen and modal gives this pretty extra volume so that it always falls just right. how unique and gorgeous!

is this wonder of an accessory blowing your mind as much as it is mine? the voluminous scarf necklace is available in all three styles at anthropologie for the very pleasant price of $38.

thursday purseday

(fear not, for i haven’t forgotten to commemorate the very *best* day of the week!)

when i spied the candy buckle clutch in anthro’s most recent catalog all i could think to myself was “please don’t be $300, please don’t be $300…” but wouldn’t ya know, it’s $300.  however, that’s the beauty of a blog. i can post it here to share with you and it’s almost as fulfilling as buying one.

almost.

i will acknowledge that i’ve been extremely clutch-happy lately with the thursday purseday posts, but at least this one is a slight advancement with its long cross-body chain option, right?

the supple leather pouch with the apple green resin buckle and super cool crisscross lining is available exclusively online at anthropologie for $298.

meet megan miller

the design of this line of environmentally friendly nail polish from megan miller is killing me with its cuteness. the cork top? the raffia ribbon? the round bulb of a bottle? all absolutely gorgeous. but these varnishes aren’t just for show and tell, beyond their aesthetic adorableness they will also look great on your nails and last for an impressively long time.

the colors:

  • framboise - rich, elegant wine
  • caribbean - bold turquoise
  • champagne - shimmering neutral
  • crem de la crem - versatile french white
  • roja - gorgeous, true red
  • latte - simple, creamy natural greige

megan miller is available online at anthropologie in roja and crem de la crem for the semi steep price of $14 but you can also buy all six shades directly through megan miller for the slightly more stomachable $12.

it’s pay day and my nails need caribbean. will you invest in these charming little lacquers?

blown away

need a last minute gift for a lovely lady in your life?


i am in love with this blown glass makeup brush from anthropologie. slightly impractical but totally necessary at $48 and i still cannot get enough of its stunning, colorful handle. it’s actually handmade from a glass company in columbus, ohio and i am very surprised that they knew enough to use premium goat hair for the bristles – only the very best in my opinion. it’s one of those pieces that would look simply amazing just laying on someone’s vanity and would brighten any beauty’s day before even using it to sweep her favorite powder over her cheekbones.

like it? need it? hurry scurry to anthropologie today to get 25% off all purchases!
