Walking on Clouds

Hope everyone is enjoying your Superbowl Sunday evening.  I'm just sitting here with my husband watching it.  And by watching it, I mean blogging while it's on in the background and actually paying attention during the commercials! 

It's been a pretty normal weekend.  Friday evening my husband and I had a nice dinner out.  We even ran into hubby's cousin while we were there and I also saw a friend I used to work with several years ago!  It was so nice to see her and catch up even though it was only for a few minutes.  Yesterday I was very productive.  I finally put together the storage shelves I bought at Target.  I straightened up one corner of the spare bedroom.  What once was a pile of random stuff is now nice and neat.  It feels so good, but I still have a long way to go with the cleaning and organizing!!!  Today we made a quick trip to the mall and to Best Buy.  I had to return a sweater that I bought on impulse from NY&Co. last weekend.  I realized that while it was cute, I just didn't love it....and I'd rather save that money for something I love (things on my Anthro wishlist perhaps!?)  We went into Best Buy because I'm finally going to get an iPhone next week and I was looking for a case for it.  Then we did some grocery shopping, I came home and did a little more organizing in the spare bedroom, and now it's finally time to relax!

For our day of running errands I wanted to wear my Ugg look-alike boots from Target.  Although they aren't the cutest footwear, they are so warm and comfy...felt like I was walking on clouds all day.  I decided I needed to wear tights with them because they are a little too tight to comfortably stuff my jeans into.  This is the outfit that fell into place.

What were your favorite commercials from the Superbowl?

Anthro Dressing Room Review 12/23: Longji Terrace Tank, Filigree Cardi, Rippled Ridge Henley, etc.

I took a trip down to my closest Anthropologie the day before Christmas Eve.  I had several returns to make and of course hung around long enough to try on lots of pretty things.  Unfortunately, my camera batteries died half way through :(  Still wanted to share the few things I actually caught on camera...

Longji Terrace Tank - $78

This tank fits TTS.  I grabbed my normal size L and it fit comfortably and even a little lose in the bottom half.  This tank is very comfortable.  I love the satin straps, the stud details diagonally along the bottom of each strap, and the rhinestone details.  The color is a grayish-green with light pink rice-shaped polka dots.  Not really sure how I'd style this except with jeans, but it's wishlisted for sale anyway.

Filigree Cardi - $118

I was drawn to this cardi online due to the filigree pattern, so I was excited to find it in store.  I tried on the "brown" which is really more of a light sand color.  This is the large.  While the arms fit fine, the body was very lose and tent like on me.  It's shorter in front and then gets long on each side.  The boxy fit was very unflattering on me and I couldn't wait to take it off.  I was so preoccupied with the odd fit, that I didn't even snap any pictures of it hanging naturally!  Oops! I also tried on the gold version in a medium to see if that would take care of the lose, boxy issues of the large (you can see that hanging in the background).  The arms were so tight I could barely get it on!  This one immediately came off my wishlist.  Too bad, because the lace filigree detail is very pretty in person.

Rippled Ridge Henley - $48

This fits TTS - this is a large.  It's very comfortable.  I love the ruched detailing along the neckline.  Very casual chic.  I ended up buying the purple and the green version with a gift card.  Sidenote: the green one looks great paired with the gold Field Skirt! 

Deuxhill Cowlneck - $88 paired with Field Skirt - $78

Well, I've reviewed this blouse before HERE, but I've been wanting to try the navy motif.  I already own this skirt in the gold and grey, but just grabbed the navy version to have something to pair with the blouse.  Blouse runs 1-2 sizes big.  This is the 10, but the 8 also fit me fine.  Love the print and the silk material is great.  Just don't think the cap sleeves are very flattering on me, so I would only wear this with a cardi or jacket.  I'll reconsider come sale time.

As for the skirt, it runs TTS.  This is a 12.  I LOVE this skirt and have gotten a lot of wear out of the two I already own.  If this ever makes it to sale, I may even pick up the navy version!

Refined Cord Shirtdress - On sale for $59.99 (sold out online, but I hear it's still floating around in stores) 

I know, I know...I'm extremely late in the game for reviewing this dress.  I grabbed the grey in a size 12.  It fit TTS - but a little bit tight in the bust.  Not too bad once I got it buttoned though.  I see why everyone raves about this one.  It's a classic!  Ultimately, I passed on this (it wasn't on sale yet when I tried it on).  Didn't pick it up once it hit sale because I spent too much money on other items.  Oh well, I'm sure another version I like even better will pop up in the future!

More reviews to come tomorrow!
