Anthro's Briny Winds Jacket by We Love Vera Takes a Spring Break! Sale Rumor?

I have no excuse for being MIA for almost a week.  Today's Post is brought to you by the always wonderful Pamela of Ginger Girl. Pamela and I share a love of all things Orla Kiely.  Last week she asked about sizing for Anthro's Briny Winds Jacket by We Love Vera.  Which reminded me that I have not yet worn the Jacket this Spring.

I hadn't realized that my High Gloss Belt in Blue was showing below the Jacket until I saw these photos.  I immediately removed the belt.  Another great reason to take photos of yourself.  You can instantly see your outfit mistakes.

More Trial and Error with the SLR.  If my last images were too dark, these are too light.  I did finally find the reset button.  Photos come out very nice everywhere but my living area.  Just look at the photo of my new Chie Mihara's taken in the yard.

 I'm still crying that these shoes didn't make sale in time to claim a price adjustment.  But really just a tear now and again.

Wicked and Hot!  What gal doesn't need some of that in her closet.

I was a total fan of Chantal Bernsau's horsehair art jewelry.  I was a bit disappointed to find out that Anthro's Wingspan Brooch was not constructed of horsehair. I believe it's plastic of some sort.  Of course I can no longer find the screen shot I kept of the original Product Page. I won't cry over it, because I think it was the perfect choice for a shoulder Garnish with Anthro's Briny Winds Jacket.

The very funny unplanned accessory in this photo is the well placed curly hair stuck to the front of my Jacket just below the large top button.  By the time I saw this little miscreant in the photo it was gone.  Who forgot to make a mirror check yesterday morning?  Me!  Did I forget to mention this is yesterday's OOTD.  Today I am wearing my Green De Armee Dress.

Now for something really dark.  I was playing with flash setting and modes yesterday.  As if you didn't already guess that.  Ha-ha!

I have nothing but deep down abiding love for my over sized Shiny Leather Caraway Bag in Mauve by Orla Kiely. 

Memorial Weekend is finally here.  I'm so jazzed.  Remember, I hinted that something special was coming.  Hee-hee!  I'm meeting that very special person tomorrow afternoon for the first time.  I'm so exited I want to scream.  I made all the arrangements.  The perfect location has been found and we have permission to be there first thing Saturday morning.  And the weather in Bako is simply gorgeous and cool.  Your dieing to know what it is aren't you? 

Zip! That's me shutting my big mouth.

I read a rumor that there may be a special Anthro sale today.  This morning there was no sign of anything.  But sales have been known to happen later in the day before.  I'm just saying.  Keep your eyes peeled.

I WILL catch up on blog rounds after Saturday.  Promise! I want to see what everyone else picked up from sale.  Here are my two picks.  Yep, just two!
