In no particular order!
But first, the awesome and always fabulous
Collette of "Statements In Fashion" is hosting a giveaway for a 50$ Forever 21 Gift Certificate. Now is the time for me and possibly you to give Forever 21 a try. Head over to Statements in Fashion
HERE.
Ahhhhhh!
The Pinafore Pullover by Rosie Neira. I got lucky on this one.
The morning of my Birthday I sat down at my Laptop (which was still functioning-more about that later) and hit the Antho eCatalogs. What did I find there? Three
Pinafore Pullovers (sold out at full price) available in Pop Back. I immediately sent a text to Heidi D. We both scored.

But the most miraculous news is, the sweaters were not only on sale, but RED TAGGED. Yippee!
A few weeks ago I saw
Roxy of Effortless Anthropologie wearing the
Pinafore Pullover in such a fabulous way that I had to have the sweater. It was then I started checking the catalog regularly for Pop Backs. Roxy had taken the
Snowscape Tank and layered the
Pinafore Pullover over it so only the neckline of the tank was visible. The effect is almost seamless. I love this tank, but have never been able to use it in a way that showed off the fabulous detail work on the neckline. Thank you for the incredible idea Roxy.

I weaved an Idra pin through the back to pull the sweater in a bit. I could have used an XS in this sweater.

As you can see the effect created by layering the Tank under the sweater is stunning. No jewelry needed! Unless you want to consider by new
Orla Kiely Quilted Patent Iris Bag AW10 as jewelry. A little Happy Birthday Present! To me! From me!

I really hauled on the RED TAG Sale. I'm not going to review these items now, but you can email me at
lauramartinsemail@yahoo.com and ask me anything about these items. Here is the damage.
This entire
Anthro Outfit.
Which Includes the
Fisherman's Companion Sweatercoat which was cancelled online, but I was able to order from a store. The
Attention To Detail Dress in Taupe available
HERE. The
Tapestry Tights. And the
Berry Stitched Boots I already have. I am wearing the outfit with a different coat in the photo.
The
Easy Keeper Skirt in Orange Motif along with the
Piece-A-Plenty /Cardi (FULL PRICE) that I did not like on me at all. The raglin sleeves were unflattering. So it will be returned.
I also picked up Anthro's
Haviland Sweatercoat from 3 years ago. This was my third attempt to win a bid for this sweatercoat on eBay over the last 2 years. I used a sniping service free trial and won. Yippee!
The
Cabled Pullover in Gold by Moth available in Pop Backs
HERE. To go with the
Easy Keeper Skirt in Black Motif available in Pop Backs
HERE. And hopefully I will love
Miss Albrights Loose Reins Boots (sold out online- but available in stores) with this outfit.
The
Blue Period Slip-ons by Everybody. Returned. Available
HERE at full price. I normally wear an 8 and ordered a 39. They were at least a half size too big. Great quality and super comfortable, but a little granny looking for my taste. Although I loved them with the
Roadway Tights.

The
Antique Row Cuff (25% off) looked like a big piece of poo to me. So it is headed back today.
The
From The Poles Jacket in Both Green and Purple. Both were a size Small, but the Green was huge. So that will go back.
The
Trickle Down Top in Green. I loved it in Blue.
Miss Albrights Prized Rose Peep Toes were a huge disappointment. TTS and comfortable, but the pair I received were poorly made.
And last but not least the
Spruce Corset Belt.
Now for some disappointing news. My Laptop is protesting over-use by refusing to start-up. It is however under warranty, so on it's way to Texas today. The timeline for repair is unknown. My son's PC is located in his bedroom and not easy for me to get to. So Posting and Commenting will be sporadic at best. My iPhone needs to be updated, so it's very slow.
But I promise I will do my best.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous Holiday and finding some wonderful Anthro stuff.
