Hi friends! Happy Monday. I had a post all ready to go, and then decided I had to share how to get 30% off at Anthropologie today. Yesterday they started a Pre-Black Friday sale in the LTK app and it’s only for two days which means today is the last day. You’re lucky though…I’m going to give you the code and a link so you can shop even if you don’t use LTK….keep reading.😁
I ran in recently and did a little in-store try on, so I’m going to share those pieces with you. They are all realllly good and I wanted to bring them home with me….but we all know my closet is about to burst at the seams. I am however really mulling over the first sweater and the brown shirt.
DISCLAIMER: The lighting in the fitting rooms is TERRIBLE, so the photos aren’t nearly what they should be, but you can get the gist.
Sweater & Jeans
This sweater is too stinkin’ cute. I have an affinity to this collar style right now and have several to my sweater collection this year. I’m wearing XS
The jeans are a premium denim, so pricier, but man are they good. When there’s a sale like this, that’s when I splurge on a purchase like these. I’m wearing my true size.
Top & Jeans
This is another really cute top…as they all are or I wouldn’t be trying them. LOL
I love the layered look without having to do it myself. There’s less bulk and they look better. I’m wearing XS.
Sweater & Jeans
Are you noticing a theme? Sweaters and jeans. That’s pretty much uniform most days. These jeans are really fun. The patch pockets are a huge trend right now and it took me a minute, but I’ve come to love them. These are a wide leg by the same maker as some of the sweaters. They’re long on me and would require a heel so I’m standing on my tip toes.
The sweater…again, is a cute option. The design is interesting and makes it special. It’s really pretty and delicate looking in person.
Velvet shirt & Jeans
This is the brown shirt I was referencing earlier. The stripes are velvet and the picture does not do it justice. I got a solid velvet shirt last year from the same brand, and love it. They’re a fun way to level up a look.
Somerset dress
This is the ever popular and iconic Somerset dress in velvet. It’s a dark charcoal gray/black. I love these dresses…but I’ll also be the first to tell you there are some great looks alikes on Amazon. However, if you want the real deal, 30% off is the time to buy one. They never go out of style!
Metallic Somerset
If you want to really get sparkle and shine, the Somerset comes in metallic. This was the first thing I picked up to try on. The material is super soft and it’s a very fun look. I feel like it would be fabulous for NYE.
Colette Pants
These pants are one of Anthros best sellers if I had to guess. The material is amazing and so comfortable you don’t even mind staying dressed. Seriously, they’re soft and stretchy, and comes in a lot of colors, and other fabrications. They are a year round fabric, so a lot of bang for your buck. I find there is some varying in sizes on these, so I suggest ordering your true size and smaller size to see which fit is better. In the black, I sized down.
Gift Ideas
I love to buy gifts from Anthropologie. They always have the best mugs, tea towels and candles. But also accessories, and home items. The Primrose mirror is a fan favorite and the vanity tray is beautiful…and calling my name.
Okey doke…that’s a wrap for ANTHRO. Use this link and the code ANTHROBF to get the 30% off.
I also want to let you know that AVARA is having a BIG BLACK FRIDAY SALE TOO. I’ve got a Reel for tomorrow and I may do a newsletter this week with outfits I styled last week with some friends, so be sure to sign up for the newsletters. I’ll also be communicating Black Friday deals through that. Easy peasy. Sign up below.
The 4th of July is just around the corner and that means lots of cookouts and backyard BBQ’s. There are so many fun outdoor games for July 4th, and you can order them on Amazon to get them in time. These would be fun to have set up in stations around your yard, or some of them could easily be carried to a park if you’re gathering there.
I’ve seen several of these in use at the beach as well. Big kids/young adults and even older adults sometimes enjoy having something to do when spending an entire day on the beach.
GIANT WOODEN YARD DICE – You can play two games with these giant dice. Yardzee or Yardkle. HAHAHA!
YARD DARTS – Not only are these yard darts, they glow in the dark. Now personally, by the time it gets dark during the summer we’re already in our jammies, but if you like to walk on the wild side, these are for you. LOL
YARD CONNECT FOUR – Did you have Connect Four as a kid? I did, and I loved it. I think this would be fun, and even the littles could play.
BADMINTON – This looks like such an easy way to play Badminton. This game has been around forever. This net doesn’t require spikes, and I think that would keep it from sagging.
LADDER TOSS – We bought one of these years ago for Katie’s graduation party. I had played it somewhere and it was a lot of fun. We will be pulling this out the next time we have a gathering.
HORSESHOES – I haven’t played horseshoes in years, but I used to love it. Most kids these days have probably never heard of it. Let’s bring it back.
BOCCE BALL – The only time I’ve played this was at an Italian restaurant, but it was a lot of fun.
GIANT JENGA – Not gonna’ lie, this one scares me a little. We went to a party with a reallly giant one, and I was terrified it would fall on someone. I think this one is a slightly smaller scale, so probably a lot safer.
CORN HOLE – This is a crowd pleaser, and I see a lot of people who take them (in a wagon) out on the beach to play. Little kids love playing with the bean bags for this one.
Check out this post with red, white and blue looks to go with your new outdoor games for July 4th.
Or this post has more red, white and blue all American summer style that would be fantastic for the 4th.
Have you signed up for my newsletters yet? You can do it at the bottom of this page. On Monday’s I share last weeks top 6 sellers, and on Friday’s there is a complete list of sales. There are usually things included in the newsletter for subscribers that don’t appear on the blog.😉 It’s kind of like Instagram. I share things all week long in stories and on the grid that don’t necessarily make it here.
Have a wonderful Monday!!!!
Thank you Lisa for the Anthropologie code. It wasn’t on the website so I appreciate the tip.
