A Chie-Orla-Anthro Remixer! Big Anthro Sale! Tippi Success Stories!

Every morning I wake up thinking how lame I will look today, because I have nothing to say to my Readers.  By the time I've heard the news (can only listen from the bathroom), drive to work, take photos, check my email, and read Roxy's EA Blog, I've filed away enough news worthy info to fill two Posts.

First time making a Blog appearance is, Anthro'sSavoy Slingbacks by Chie Mihara.  I fell in love when I saw these in the June 2008 Catalog.  I waited months for them to hit Anthro's Sale Page, only to be broke.  It was tragic. Not being a savvy online shopper yet, I was sure all hope was lost. Then one day I was cruising Nordstrom when I realized they carried Chie's. And there they were. My long lost Savoy Slingback's.  The very last pair. In my size 38. At an astounding 70% off.  I could afford that.  I didn't mind when they arrived in a plain White shoe box.  I didn't so much as flinch when I couldn't wear them for 5 months.  After all, it was the middle of December.  I still love them.  I still wear them.

You all know my very first Orla Kiely.  Anthro's Sepia Crocus Bag AW08.  I still consider Anthro the birthplace for Orla, Chie and Leifsdottir.  I was so excited when Roxy Announced that Leifsdottir is returning as an exclusive Anthro Brand. I can't wait till June to see what's in store for this exciting label.

I think I almost fell over in this photo.  I was actually trying to get out of the way of the dozen or more citizens that comb the park at 6 AM for recyles.  Some even graciously picking up trash dropped by Litter Bugs.  Something I tend to do myself if possible. Not Litter! But actually pick up trash!

Here is a quick run through from the TOP Down. 

Anthro's Spotlights Tank by RicRac was picked up in the Monterey Ca Store last year.  Heidi ran the Big Sur 21 mile Marathon.  The one with the Grand Piano at the bottom of a steep grade, and a Pianistperched, playing the Piano.   At the same time Christine was pulling a 5K.  I waited at the finish for both my friends, a former runner myself.

You can still shop my Ribbed Waist Cotton Cardifrom the Gap HERE.  This Cardi is exceptional and cheap.  TTS, high quality combed Cotton that doesn't stretch out. Anthro's High Gloss Belt is in stock and available in three colors, and all sizes, except Yellow HERE. Anthro's Days Off Skirt is now sold out in Navy.

Now for some awesome Tippi Success Stories.

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed scored her Tippi Dress from Reader Melanie

A few minutes later Jess informed me that Melanie scored a dress too

LC of Bella Seattle has a Tippi on the way

Diem found a Tippi in Seattle.  Which seems to be a popular Tippi scouting area

Reader Allison scored a size 6, and had a size 8 available.  I hooked her up with Reader Kelly who was looking for a Tippi in size 8.  I don't know if blog magic happened for this exchange

I hooked Sharon up with a Tip on a Tippi size 2 in Seattle from LC

Another story I don't have a conclusion for

I'm getting a bit tipsy from all this Tippi madness.  I hope everyone found the Tippi of their dreams. Did I just write Tippi 9 times?
