Eye Candy: Anthropologie March 2013 catalogue

Blue Toile Jumpsuit ($168), Rivello Link Bracelet ($188), Tipped Straw Cloche ($32).

Though the March 2013 Anthropologie catalogue itself isn't properly online yet, many photos have made Anthro's website in the New Arrivals section. I'm in love with the story this month's book seems to be telling -- a woman on the road visiting various vacation spots. My favorite shot is just after the jump. What do you think of these wonderful settings?

Note: this post was updated with information directly from Anthropologie at 4:30 PM ET. Please see the next photo inside the post for details.

anthro email: Perk Alert: exclusive access to March

March is just around the corner. Anthropologie is giving members of its anthro loyalty program a sneak peek at some of the items from the upcoming March 2013 catalogue. If this page looks familiar, well....

Call for submissions: Show the community how you Anthropologie-ize your home!

Being that we are an Anthropologie-loving bunch many of us own not only Anthro clothing but also furniture, decor and the like. By community request it's time to get out that camera, set up your vignette and send in a photo of your Anthro for the home pieces!

Ask An Anthropologie SA :: Answers

A couple of weeks ago the community came forward with many wonderful questions for Anthropologie employees. Although not every question is answered in today's post, several SAs have kindly taken the time to answer some of the most burning questions posed by the community. We'll work our way through as many questions as we can in the coming weeks.

Questions and their answers after the jump -- feel free to ask new questions in the comments!

REMINDER: Protect yourself when conducting online transactions!

Every so often I think it's important to send a reminder to the community about protecting ourselves during online transactions. As another scam seems to be unfolding, this time in a Facebook group I want to address all of our EA Trade Market users.

Playing the Sale Guessing Game

Last week brought a nice Anthropologie sale to our doorsteps. The pattern lately hasn't yielded sales two weeks in a row but perhaps a change is here? Maybe more sale will come our way this week? Or additional cuts on items already marked down? We don't know what will happen tomorrow but let's play the Sale Guessing Game and try to figure it out!

Playing the Sale Guessing Game

Dearest Anthropologie, wither sale? Wherefore art thou, markdowns? We've gone too long and the community can wait no longer. Besides, as a famous poet once said, "'Tis a far far better thing doing stuff for other people." Like giving us some new sale delights!

What will happen tomorrow?  Let's play the Sale Guessing Game and find out!

Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone! Every Sunday on EA is kinda like the big game, with amazing Reader Outfits from this community bringing out the best Anthropologie has to offer. This week it's a mix of layering that I'm loving. Take a look at all the looks and then show your support for our awesome contributors in the comments.

On to the outfits...

Eye Candy: Store Inspiration

On the left dress form: Flocked Speckle Dress ($188, review), Viracocha Necklace (now $450).

On the right dress form: Battenburg Leather Jacket ($398), 
Bloomfall Peplum Tank ($78, review), Pilcro Stet Slim Straight ($118).  

This week in Eye Candy: Store Inspiration all of the windows are from Anthropologie's Rockefeller Center store in New York City. The store's visual team always comes up with some amazing ideas but they've truly outdone themselves with their Spring 2013 store window displays. I only wish these beautiful prints were captured on dresses or tops! Bravo and kudos to the artists who created these amazing canvases. It takes a lot to distract me from NYC's beautiful architecture but these windows captivated me. They are incredible.
