OOTD: Hidden Hummingbird on the Black Forrest Trail

It's HOT HOT HOT today! It's also Sunday, so I broke out my shorts. These are one of two pairs of shorts that I own and they are both from Anthro. These are last summer's Black Forrest Trail Shorts. I loved them so much, I bought them in two colors. They are short, shorts! I also had to break out my Hidden Hummingbird Tank, which is one of my favorite Anthro pieces. It's so cute and the design on the collar is stellar and the pleats are outrageous.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am counting the days until our vacation at the end of the month!!

Happy Halloween! Reviews: Fall Skirts and Tops

Happy Halloween, Ladies! I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. I am working hard over here this weekend! I think my next day off is Veteran's Day! My husband and I are planning to go Atlantic City to go to the Junkies' Poker Open! I'm not playing it it, I'm just going there to party with my favorite radio boys and sport my Pinochle Skirt! It's perfect for the Borgata, right?!

I am absolutely drooling over the new arrivals at Anthro and I'll be reviewing a couple today! Okay, here we go!

Field Skirt Edme & Esyllte $78

Why does this feel familiar?

Look at the cute lining!

This did nothing for me on the website, but in person I love it! Do you know why?! Because it's a corduroy Circle the Globe Skirt!!!! That's amazing! It's the same adorable shape, same awesome pockets, same cute waistline stitching, plus this adorable paisley lining. This will be coming home with me at some point and at $78, it's a little pricey, but I'll pay full-price for it, just like I did the teal CTG Skirt. The cord is really light so that the skirt stays light and poufy. Love, love, love. E&E, well done.

Glowing Leaf Skirt $98 Floreat

Here's another really adorable skirt that I didn't expect to like. I've walked past this one a dozen times and I finally decided to pick it up. It's really adorable! I love the orange and sequined details.

It's got no pockets, which takes away some points for me. I also do feel like it's a touch long, so I would be more inclined to order a petite size (which is sold out). I wish, so much that Anthropologie would start offering a few petite sizes in-store. There are quite a few of us under 5'4 and I notice that the petite sizes always sell out online before I have a chance to get to them. I just feel a little annoyed about having to pay shipping, just because I'm below average height. But, that's another matter. Back on point, this skirt is really cute and I may pick it up on sale.

Let's talk about the top for one moment, shall we? This is the Trickle Down Top ($68 Deletta) which has been out for a while. It's cute, but sheer. Why?! It needs to be worn with a cami. I would pick it up on sale because it is really adorable. The beige color would go with all kinds of things. Wishlisted for sale!

Layered in Slate Skirt $88 Coquille

I have no pencil skirts in my Anthropologie Library and I think this may be the one I take home first! I simply adore this little jersey skirt! The gray color goes with everything and the little layering details are cute and unusual. The length, I think is okay for a petite gal and I am really glad it fits well. My only caveat is that it's expensive for what it is...a jersey skirt. The layers and draping is nice, but $88 seems too much for jersey. I'll wait for the sale on it.

Speeding Panorama Tank $68 one.september

This has been on my radar since it appeared online, but this is the first time I've seen it it person. It's JUST beautiful. I can see this going great under a simple cardi or being gorgeous on it's own with jeans. Plus, I LOVE that it's a drapey asymmetrical top a similar shape to the Hidden Hummingbird Tank which is one of my fave Anthro pieces. The $68 price seems fair, although I will probably wait for the sale which I feel is not far off.

Inked Marble Mini $128 Lilu

It's a mini skirt, but on 5'1 me, it just means it fits :) How cute is this little skirt? It caught my eye on the hanger and it's a really soft and flowy silk and feels AMAZING on your body. The side pockets are cute and the pattern is really pretty. $128 seems fair, although again, I will hold out for a sale.

It's Sunday, which means it's another LIVE Dereck and Kay Show tonight! We are giving away a $10 Starbucks Giftcard to a random facebook fan and you MUST listen live to win! Call in to claim your prize!

I'll be posting an OOTD later! Enjoy your morning!
