 What is a Pop Back? 

Up until this year, Anthro Online linked sold out items back into the sale or regular section when an item was returned.  So if you were browsing any given section you might find one available item in one particular size.  As soon as the item was claimed, the entire Product Page disappeared. When another is returned, the Product Page appears again.

  Anthro now adds these items back to the catalog link, if one existed. I can only assume this method is more efficient.

The September 2010 Anthro Catalog

 For example:  The Perthshire Dress is no longer visible anywhere on the website.  You can only find it by having the link to the September catalog, which is no longer anywhere on the website. Anthro displays only three catalogs at a time.  When the January catalog rolls around, September's catalog, along with links to the remaining stock, will be overwritten.

The answer to "How Many Perthshire's are in an Anthro Pop Back?" is likely to be many.

I can't take all the credit for this outfit.  I have The Anthropologie Connoisseur to thank for help. See her Post for the Perthshire Styling HERE. Scroll down to about half way through the Post.  The Anthropologie Connoisseur browsed my Virtual Closet and suggested the Grey Opaque Tights and the Ephemera Necklace along with several additional fabulous ideas from Anthropologie. The fabric tie that came with the dress was not flattering, and I'm not in love with the Delphi Hippodrome Belt in this outfit.  So another Belt is under consideration.

I'm going for a Style #2 for the Perthshire Dress in the near future.

I am totally taken with The Anthropologie Connoisseur's idea of the Midnight Aspiration Booties by Chie Mihara. Wouldn't those make an awesome high dollar combined Birthday/Christmas present for the next few years? Ha-ha! I am watching these for a sale.

I recently received a suggestion from an awesome Reader named Shelley. She sent me this photo of Jodie Foster. Love this hair cut on Miss Foster.  It's just as fantastic on Shelley herself. So keep sending me ideas and suggestions.  I will consider them all. 

Many of my close friends and family know that I run on a daily routine that keeps me organized. Currently, it takes just a few minutes to finger gel through my hair, scrunch, and go.  The thought of adding half an hour to do my hair scares me a bit.  I would have to get up at 3:30 AM as apposed to 4 AM now.  So Sara cut only my bangs.

And this is the final outcome.  It really doesn't look much different than when she normally straightens my hair. I don't have enough hair in the front to make this style look right. On top of that, I kept having to push hair out of my eyes.  And as you can see I am right back to wearing it curly today.  However, I will certainly style my hair straight for a few Holiday Parties.

THREE INGREDIENT COBBLER

For the first time ever, I'm going to share a recipe.  My Mother sent me this recipe and requested I make it for Thanksgiving. She had found it somewhere and didn't know where she had gotten it.  Turns out I gave her this recipe many years ago.  It's a very simple 3 Ingredient Cobbler.

One Box White Cake Mix

1.5 sticks Melted Butter

2 cans Fruit Pie Filling

13 by 9 inch Glass Baking Dish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Open cans and dump Pie Filling in an ungreased Glass Baking Dish. Even the filling out with a spatula.

With a spoon sprinkle the White Cake Mix evenly over the Pie Filling.

Spoon melted butter over the Cake Mix.

Pop in the oven for about 1 HOUR.  The Butter and Cake Mix should be bubbling and turning brown. 

Best served warm. This is a great simple holiday dessert to bring to a party.  I love Cherry!

The Kitchen Crew skips the Babergh for the Bowtied Beauties!

That will be the day when you find me in a store on Black Friday. This is one girl that would rather skip the crowds for the relaxed experience of Cyber Monday.


Meet Monty Albright - The Bright and Shining
He's a Long Haired Dappled Miniature Dachshund
Monty is the lovable thief



Meet Gaby Albright his partner in crime - a younger long haired Red - and the Alpha dog

I got a call from Mom requesting a crew of one to help Dad with Thanksgiving dinner. So I scrapped the planned Babergh Dress for something casual and machine washable.
The minute I entered the dog ruled house, I dropped an ANTHRO glove. Monty was on it while Gaby chased after, barking and dragging the Gifted glove from here to there. Luckily he trades his treasures for treats. A little dog slobber is a priceless thing on a glove.

I have a confession.  I've been intentionally throwing tried and true outfits into posts because I have been in a creative slump for several weeks.  I finally broke the spell Thanksgiving morning. It all started with a strong desire to pair the Bowtied-Beauty Boots with the Perfectly Plaid Tights. It was do or die. 

In my OCD mind, I imagine my blog friends taking all of 2 minutes to effortlessly pull the most wonderful of re-mixed outfits from their closets without so much as breaking a sweat.  While it takes an hour for me to find something that is even presentable.  This involves ransacking a normally organized closet and creating total chaos in the dressing area.

Next time I'm taking pictures of the destruction.


I couldn't have asked for two better parents

My Mother has more creativity in her little finger that I have in my entire body. Not only was she a teacher for many years, she went back to school to become an RN. My Dad was a devoted 5th grade teacher in a predominately migrant school for his entire 35 years of teaching. Both are now retired.

Whatever Skort in Atlantic - Athleta $49 - Feb 2010


Athleta's Whatever Skort is as versatile as a favorite pair of jeans. And styles just as easily with everything.  Including Anthro! I added an old Kohl's Belt in warm Earth tones, Blue, and a touch of sparkle for the Holiday.

Flawless Scoopneck - by Eco-ga'nik - Anthro online exclusive $88, Cocoa Sold out - Nov 2008



I kept with a predominantly Brown palette. I tucked in the Flawless Scoopneck in Cocoa. Adore the short fringed detail around the off kilter neckline, ruched front, and slightly belled sleeves. This is another Anthro piece that was entirely too low cut.  I whip stitched the neckline together where the fringed seam ends.

I topped this Thanksgiving Day outfit with the light and fluffy Kai Coat by Idra and pulled on the Chilled Facet Gloves. A gift from my boyfriend for Christmas last year. Then completely forgot to take a photo wearing the coat and gloves.

Present Perfect Necklace - Tataborello Italy - Anthro Orig $138 Sale $40 - Mar 2009

This is the Present Perfect Necklace by Tataborello from 2008. I didn't even know this was a Tataborello piece until recently. I almost gave this necklace away.

And Wallah! There you have it. And I have the "The Anthropologie Connoisseur" to thank for the inspiration. I finally re-mixed an outfit after several weeks in a slump. The only issue I have is possible competition between the Belt and Necklace. Since it was Thanksgiving, I'm allowing myself a small faux pas.

What did my Readers wear for Thanksgiving?  Please leave a comment about all the fabulous details.
