Thanks to one of my BFFs, I am now an Anthropologie addict. And thanks to the new City Centre location - which is down the road from our office, I am suffering some kind of shopping sickness. Yes, I admit .... I have a problem. I'm not addicted, I'm obsessed. I think I have to go to some AAA (Anthropologie Addicts Anonymous) meeting to say, "Hi, my name is Leila, and I'm a shopaholic."
Now to be brutally honest, my wardrobe channels the 90's vampy look that was soo popular back them. The only things missing are the dark purple lipstick and matching nail polish. Nowadays, thanks to my recent obsession with Anthropologie, I'm buying bright reds and blues, heather greys, and kelly greens. What is this world coming to? I bought a kelly green dress with blue turtles. Oh my ... I seriously don't know what I've been transformed into.
While I'm a true bargain hunter with borderline hoarding tendencies, I can't help but listen to some of the new styles calling my name, beckoning me to try them on. I know, I know, they aren't talking to me, they are talking to my credit cards.
Now speaking of bargains, this location has a dedicated room, which usually is spilling out with marked-down goodies. Be sure to have some time on your hands to be able to comb through this closet. On a recent visit that I used a hard day at the office as an excuse to shop, I scored some Joe's Jeans for $49, which usually retail for about $150 to $180 for a pair of jeans. Now how could I leave with just one pair?
To top things off, Anthropologie carries the stuffed animal collection from "Jellycat", which my little Punkin happens to love. Ultimately on my recent excursion, I ended up leaving the store with the jeans and a stuffed zebra to ease my guilty conscience that I had once again succumbed to my terrible weakness. Oh, but it felt soo goood.
