September Anthro Faves - It was tough to choose!

The days are inching towards fall. Anthropologie is proudly showing signs of the delightful season ahead. The Spiced Cider candle pictured above is already on the shelves:-) While I'm not quite ready for a true cold snap, I'm excited about the new styles that are arriving almost daily. It was nearly impossible to select this round of favorites since I keep swooning over new pieces every time I work.

This list is top-heavy.

I threw in a few other items, but Anthro’s sweater and jacket game is especially strong right now, so I wanted to share these gems before they are gone.

Just a note:
As I pulled together the photos of the items listed below, I realized that (in my opinion) all of them look better in-person and on regular women than they do in the photos. I’ve seen each piece on myself and lots of clients...I’m thrilled to say the non-model body works better for this collection.

(As always, I’m not compensated in any way by Anthropologie for sharing my faves. I share what I love and what my customers love...in hopes that it makes your life easier.)


Okay, on to my current faves...

Clare Wool Tunic   $98
This is a sell-out classic! Fine-gauge Merino wool. Beautiful cut. You'll wear this one until it's threadbare. Also comes in ....pale pink, true lavender and green (the green is more Kelly green in person than on the website, better actually)

​

Knotted High-Low Shirt by Cloth and Stone  $88
Just what you'd expect from Cloth and Stone. Soft, wearable, easy favorite. Also comes in a royal blue and grey, same gingham. 

​

Tisbury Pullover Turtleneck $98
Soft is an understatement. Yummy and playful, this sweater is a awesome! Comes in black, also. You might need both! 




​

Jaye Cape Jacket  $98
Modern shape. Ideal for blazer lovers wanting to change it up this season. It's urban and edgy and hanging in my closet already:-) The fabric is crepe and it's lightweight. Fun alternative to a traditional jacket or cardigan. 

Chenille cardigan  $128 
This is a fan fave. Rich and weighty. So, so dreamy. You might want to wear it every single day. It's cut full and the fit is over-sized. Also in navy and nude (blushy pink). Wonderful in all three colors! 




​

Mixed Stripes Kimono  $118
I thought this piece would be bulky when I first saw it. It's not. It's long and lean and quite chic. Effortless. Nice addition to a closet full of solid-colored sweaters. 

​Cozy Nights Cropped Kimono  $118
The luxurious furry sweater is back again this season. It's incredible with denim or a dress. The kimono shape looks good on most body types. This is one size only. If you love it, don't wait. It will be gone soon. 

​
​

Angie Sweater Coat  $178
Pale grey stadium length coat. Looks and feels like boiled wool...but with zero itch! It's acrylic, nylon and spandex. No wool! It's amazing. I prefer it with denim. Perfect weight for chilly fall and winter weather. 

Aleah Dress- Plenty by Tracy Reese  $158
I rarely share dresses because I rarely wear dresses. I usually stick to posting only what I love and wear...but this dress is so pretty. 

It comes in several different patterns. I love the dark green...it's more jewel-toned-forest green in person than it appears online. The fit is awesome. Extremely flattering. Needed to toss this into the mix since a dynamite dress is hard to find. 


​

​Pilcro High-Rise Slim Straight  $148
Last but not least, denim. My clients often ask for classic, straight leg jeans. Some seasons, they're nowhere to be found. If you've been looking...it's your lucky day! These are a solid 'go to' option. Great cut, great wash and well under $200. 

Happy to help...
Please let me know if you have specific questions about any of the items mentioned, or about anything you see in Anthropologie. I'm happy to offer my tips and thoughts virtually.

Quick life update...
As many of you know, my daughter recently started her freshman year of college...many states away!

Drop-off was brutal.

The days following were empty and sad.

Greta is settling in nicely and our family is slowly beginning to find a new sense of normal.

If you’ve been through it, you know;-)
And if you haven’t, but will...love your kids hard and fast.

Starting now, because the years are short. 

Then brace yourself for move-in day to be worse than you could possibly imagine. Just saying.



Thank you for your support and patience while I continue to regroup.

I will be away next week. I have received an incredible opportunity to do something that’s been on my Bucket List, now Live List for years...

Attend a retreat. 

I’ll be reflecting and recharging and preparing for the next chapter.
I'm honestly so excited that I can barely sit still! 



I’m looking forward to returning to this space just in time for
