Anthropologie Shopping

Jun 21, 2011   

It was sale time so I popped into Anthropologie this weekend! I love/hate the store. :dizzy: Love basically all their home goods, hate their prices. Nothing new, right ::9: !



It was really hot out… :sunny:
:deco10: Dot BlouseH&M
:deco10: Distressed ShortsWC
:deco10: Moccasins & BeltTarget
:deco10: BagYesstyle (Ashton)

Was trying on their reading glasses then put on a pair of nearby sunglasses. Cute, sorta squared off, cat eye frames! The lenses are super dark too. :ok: I wasn’t gonna buy them because I have sunglasses.
$6 H&M ones, hahahaga! :lol:
But Mike talked me into it. He’s such an enabler.  :deco15:


Truthfully I had been thinking of getting new sunglasses. :deco8: My only other non-broken pair are in that oversized round style. Which I’m sorta getting bored of after years and years of wearing that style. :deco14: I wanted something more… I dunno… Like this, lolol! :celebrate:  So I bought em. They were only $24. Haahaaa, yeah, I agonize over any amount of money large or small, it’s a tactic I use to save $$$$ usually. ;D

I want to buy a hard case for these. I usually throw my sunglasses into a cloth pouch and usually they get scratched and broken within a season. I’m seriously terrible with sunglasses. It’s why I could never buy a $300 pair. I KNOW I’d break/lose them.  :;_;:

They had these really cute ribbon hair clips but they were for very thick-haired ladies. So cute though. But $32.00… for one?!?! :ng: this is where the hate part of my relationship with the store comes in. A hair clip is more than the sunglasses I bought… :?:

Random thought. I’m not sure if I’m going to get my hair trimmed… I’ll need one soon if I want to keep this style. :!?: And it would freshen up my perm for its final days. But lately I think about having it long again. I dunno. :deco13: I really don’t have strong feelings one way or the other :P But as I figure that out… it’ll still continue on growing… so~ hmmm. :?:

    Those sunnies are ADORBS~ I’m in love with the cat-eye style lately too. I really want to buy a ‘good’ (aka expensive XD) pair of sunglasses but I feel like you… I know I’d just break them or lose them *fail*
    The price of those hair clips is AWFUL D:

    • jenny says:

      Oh yes yours on instagram are tres sexy!!

      Yeah, I want House of Harlow or some Marc ones but I know I’d never buy them bc I’ll 100% guarantee break them and cry. I had some good fake Coach ones but they broke in half lololol

      Ugh seriously. And it’s 32$ for just one!

      • Tori says:

        REALLY want the House of Harlow ones omg… But my conscience (& my bank account haha) will feel better if I stick to cheapo vers. XD

  2. Leslie says:

    I LOVE those sunglasses! Anthro always has cute frames with nice, dark lenses (love love love.) I feel the same way concerning $300+ pairs but I’m always tempted because some of them are so beautiful. :(

  3. Veronica says:

    Ooh more for hair clips… that is a bit painful X[

  4. momo says:

    good morning :D nice things in the morning to look at (for me) LOL

  5. Thao says:

    Cute shades! Cat eyes are always classy. And yeah, I can’t have nice things either. I’ll either lose or break them… T___T

  6. cin says:

    Hehe cute sunnies!! I know what you mean with damaging them though! I bought a pair for $30 because I thought I want something good quality to keep but I ended up scratching one of the lenses D:

  7. haha the sunglasses were definitely the better deal!

    • jenny says:

      I know right, I’m just glad I wasn’t lusting after the clip for long after noticing my hair was much too thin to hold it.

  8. cassidy says:

    i love your hairstyle! how do you style it? i’m getting so bored of my short hair but maybe something sweet and feminine would enliven it!

    • jenny says:

      Well that day I did a simple style. After blow drying I pin up the top layer. Then with a curling iron I flip out the bottom layer ends (away from me.) Then I take the top layer and curl those ends under (and inward towards me.) Then hairspray :)

  9. lissy says:

    your ootd is so cute, especially the bag :D

  10. hannah says:

    I could get one of those bow clips at Wal-Mart or another cheaper retail store like Target, etc.

    Oh and I never spend more than 20 dollars on sunglasses because I either lose them or break them. My first pair that I lost cost me less than 4 dollars from Icing by Claire’s. :D

    The pair I use now is from Urban Outfitters that cost me around 15 dollars but they are so cute!! Red heart shape frames. :)

  11. Jenna says:

    I agree completely! I used to be obsessed with the things in that store until I discovered other stores that sold just as cute things for more than half the price! I mean, is it even necessary for them to be priced so high…? It breaks my heart. ;(

    Anyway, I really love your new sunglasses! I noticed that the cat-eye frames are the new trend after the bug-eyed look because they’re selling them in ASOS too. :)

    • jenny says:

      I know a lot of stuff is imported, but still. I know they carry quirky, hard to find stuff but when you DO find something similar for less it’s so much more satisfying.

      Yeah I think after the wayfers explosion the cat-eye was a natural progression in trend xD

  12. Lily says:

    I guess the good thing about living in China is that all accessories, such as that cute hair clip, can be obtained for only a few American dollars. And the quality won’t be bad either :)

  13. cml says:

    If the weather of your area is humid and stuffy and hot and all that..
    Maybe you should keep it short~
    Wait for the longhair growing session in the fall/late summer? :P
    Besides i think you look really great with this current hairstyle!
    Not everyone can carry this midbob :)

  14. Tasja says:

    Ah I love your sunnies!
    I don’t know the store, but it looks great :)

  15. Pam says:

    Owh the sunnies look really stylish and vintage! Cool~

  16. Thanh Thao says:

    Love the sunglasses! Vintage style is really cool!

  17. Alisa says:

    Wow, the sunglasses look so vintage. I love it

  18. Magda says:

    The glasses are great!
    I also love Anthropologie, but hate their prices… D: But I want their interior stuff so bad! XD One day!

    • jenny says:

      Ugh I know!!!! I bought a few interior items and dishware over the years. This one other Anthro store (it’s now closed) used to have amazing dish sales, like cheap cheap but the one left open now rarely does :(

  19. jilliancat says:

    About cheap sunglasses right.. Try not to use them so much in the sun. u___u Okay I think this sounds wrong.. but there are cases where the cheap lens can make your eyes blind since cheap sunglasses are only meant as accessories. o__o Hmm..

    • jenny says:

      Are you talking about cheap sunglasses not having UV protection? So yeah it’s like not wearing sunglasses at all, that’s understandable. But it’s not really the glasses that would make you blind because it’s just being out in the sun as if you’re not wearing any UV eye protection.

      Well, you’ll be happy to know these have a UV protection of 400 :) Had the little sticker and everything on the lens :D A lot of cheaper sunglasses still offer UV protection now that I think about it!

  20. alica says:

    fff omg the hair clip srsly is overpriced XD but it looks like good quality… still it’s so expensiven ´A `
    the sunglasses look so good one you 8D mike did a good thing XDDD and if I didn’t have a hardcase I’d crush mine as well = =
    and I think you should go for longer hair again – idk i feel like this is very cute and neat but I think you looked more sexy and fresh (like a breeze or something) with longer hair. more… airy?
    yeah that’s the word XD

    • jenny says:

      Basically what I thought about the hairclip LOL

      Yeah that’s ALSO how I felt lately seeing my old hair from last summer xD It just looks SO DIFFERENT plus I’ve had this length for like a year now…

  21. Serena says:

    I love it at its current length & it’s a great style for summer (easy, fresh etc).
    Also – I love Anthropologie! But I can’t seem to escape it without spending way too much :S

  22. Thuy An says:

    I’m an employee there!! Even with my discount, it’s still pricey (regular and sale) :’(

    Those sunglasses are really cute too~ cat eye sunnies are the best.

  23. Rubi says:

    That store is so pricey!! But those sunglasses are so cute! They look so good on you! ;D

    • jenny says:

      Yeah sometimes you can be surprised, like I couldn’t believe the glasses were only $24 but most items are costly. Still pretty to browse through though!

  24. Maria says:

    Lovely outfit :) and I adore those sunglasses! A friend of mine owns a pair similar to those.
    Aw men you did the right choice in getting a perm on your short hair, I should have done the same. I also had those mixed feelings, about keep it short or not, so I let it grow, and it hit a point where I’m like “heck let it go long again!”. I think you look lovely in short hair :) and it really suits your current style! And while your undecided, just let it grow away like you’re doing :D

    • jenny says:

      Exactly, let it grow until I know!!

      Yeah I don’t know what I’d do without my perm somedays. My hair is so naturally thin and lifeless.

  25. Alanna says:

    Love your outfit!Your so cute and those sunglasses are adorable!!love them!:D

  26. Maris says:

    Awww. I love cat eye sunglasses! That hair clip is really expensive. But cuteness wins over price most of the time, or mostly in my situation hahaha. I like your hair short, but since I’ve only been following you for a few months, I have no idea what long hair on you looks like. Either way you can pull both off for sure!

    • jenny says:

      Haahaa it’s OK! I’ve had this style for nearly a year now. My old archives show my long hair. It was longest in 2009 I think :P

  27. Huynh says:

    Cute outfit :) and the sunglasses look great on you. I’m on a search for new sunglasses for the past 2 months and I always made the mistake of taking my bf sunglass shopping. He always say I look like a bug eye monster xD or a cop (aviator)

    • jenny says:

      Hahahah sometimes guys don’t know how to properly phrase things when it comes to fashion & style xD Mike is pretty honest with me. A lot of times he’ll say a pair look horrible even if he knows I love the style of them.

  28. Linda says:

    ahhhh! cute anthropologie goodies! :D

  29. My Linh says:

    Love polka dots and the sunglasses are so cool! I wish I could go shopping more… haha. XD

  30. rae says:

    oooooh i love love love those sunglasses!

  31. megan says:

    Cute sunglasses! Maybe I’ll try a cat-eye style for my next pair. The ones I have right now are wayfarers, and sometimes when I wear them I feel like a silly hipster, haha.

    I’ve actually had a bit of trouble finding a inexpensive hardshell case for sunglasses, but maybe I’m looking in the wrong place.

    • jenny says:

      Haahaa I understand that. I had those oversized ones and lately did not really feel like myself in them…

      Yea I looked a few months ago & couldn’t find anything but am gonna try again to find something somewhat inexpensive to protect my new glasses :(

  32. Sidney says:

    you look really stylish in those new sunglasses! i don’t think i look that great in sunglasses so i don’t acutally have my own pair :x ugh but those sort-of cateye frames look so good on youuuu

    • jenny says:

      I used to look fugs as fugs in sunglasses until the oversized style came out. Those tiny late 90’s glasses looked horrid on me! But still I have this huge ass fug nose and it’s like on MEGA DISPLAY when I wear glasses. xDDD But in recent years I’ve settled for buying a few pair anyway hahahaa!

  33. Mika says:

    I love Anthropologie! I have such a love/hate relationship with it, too! Those sunglasses are super cute on you, I love styles like that~

  34. zoraida says:

    love your new sunglasses! tres chic! haha i also have a love/hate relationship with anthropologie. i love most of their stuff (including their smell mmm i love walking into/by anthro) and i hate their prices. SO EXPENSIVE. WHY.

  35. Elisa says:

    too cuteee!!! nice outfit:D

  36. Dena says:

    Cute sunglasses!
    Wtf at the price of those hair clips. If you wanted 2, that would cost over 60 bucks. I love going to Anthroplogie, but their costs are out of my range right now -_-

  37. Courtney says:

    Yup…Anthropologie is SO over priced… :(( I’ve gotten gifts from there and I’m just APPALLED at the price if I have to return/exchange anything…
    Every now and then there’s cute stuff there but I never feel it’s worth it orz
