Eye Candy: Soho NYC Anthropologie Spring 2013 Fashion Show

WARNING: PHOTO-HEAVY POST.

Anthropologie's store Fashion Show season is in full swing. Last week I attended the Short Hills, NJ Anthropologie's show and this week it was a quick subway ride to my home store, Soho, for their turn parading customer and staff models down the catwalk.

anthro perk alert! First dibs: Of India

Yesterday Anthropologie sent an email to anthro loyalty program members inviting us to take a first peek at 8 new capsules featuring designers from India. Let's take a look at all of the gorgeous options, shall we?

The weekend in-store community post

I have noticed a lot of community members sharing in-store deals and spots in the comments of various posts. Inspired by the weekly Seek & Find posts started by the lovely Alexis over at J.Crew Aficionada, I think now is a good time to start a similar weekly post here.

Playing the Sale Guessing Game

After last week's sale no new cuts are coming tomorrow on the clothing side. But that doesn't mean no sale at all! Maybe shoes, accessories or home will see fresh markdowns? Or maybe some 2nd/3rd/etc cuts are on the way. There might not be anything new come the morning but I'm hopeful that we'll get some kind of bone. It's time to play the Sale Guessing Game and speculate away.

Eye Candy: Short Hills Anthropologie Spring Fashion Show

WARNING: PHOTO-HEAVY POST.

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of attending one of Anthropologie's (sorta) local Spring Fashion Shows out at the Short Hills Mall in New Jersey. Though one of the NYC stores was hosting a show on the same night I decided it would be fun to head out to a mall Anthropologie for a different take on the customer runway show. You can see the Upper East Side Anthro show I missed over on Alison from NYC Recessionista's blog. Inside, all the looks from Short Hills plus some Eye Candy shots from the store.

Guest Post: Meet the Little Shop of Anthro, and save 10%

Note from roxy: Most people in the community know my opinion on eBay price gougers. I have generally avoided working with all eBay sellers because I do not want to encourage price gouging in the second-hand market. Stacey and I have been corresponding for a few months now and I feel comfortable sharing her shop with the community. As of this writing the prices in her shop seem fair to me and I love the abundance of older items. However I am not endorsing this shop, I am simply providing a venue for interested parties to learn more about the Little Shop of Anthro.

Hello Everyone! My name is Stacey and I run an eBay store called Little Shop of Anthro. I am thrilled to have been invited here by Roxy to share my treasures with you.

Guest post by Kristina: Five Rules for a Great Closet

Hi, I’m Kristina, and my guest post is a follow-up to some of the great pieces Roxy has written on building the perfect wardrobe (check out her posts here and here).

Obviously we all want closets that are only full of our favorite, most flattering pieces. But I don’t know anyone who can claim to have a closet like that, let alone spell out the guidelines for creating one.

My closet isn’t perfect—oh, far, far from it--but here are five rules that have worked for me in reducing the items in my closet:

Guest Post by Danielle: Eye Candy: Anthropologie's new Lincoln Park store!

Hello fellow EA readers! My name is Danielle and I have been an Anthro addict ever since I relocated to the States from England six years ago. I was so relieved to discover this blog shortly afterward, as it confirmed to me that I wasn’t a complete nutcase for obsessing over Anthro (like my friends' meaningful stares seemed to be suggesting), but that there were others out there like me! This is my first time writing a blog post so please bear with me, as well as with my not-so-professional photography!

Free Shipping on orders of $100 is back at Anthropologie!

Our favorite weekend perk is back -- Anthropologie is offering Free Shipping on online orders of $100+ for the weekend. There are some caveats though...

Notes from Urban Outfitters' Q4 2013 Earnings Call

Earlier this week the Urban Outfitters senior leadership team once again sat down with eager analysts and stockholders to discuss their quarterly earnings report. This time around the news for Anthropologie's parent company was quite good! Details, discussion and dissection after the jump.

Guest post by Sarah: Anthropologie Tangerine Flicker Dress DIY

Inspiration: Tangerine Flicker Dress from Anthropologie (originally $358).

Hi there, Effortless Anthropologie readers!  I'm Sarah from Welcome to the Good Life and I'm thrilled to be guest posting here today to show you one of my favorite Anthropologie DIY's I've done.  Like you, I love Anthropologie and own many items from the store, but sometimes while I'm browsing their items I say to myself, "Hey! I can make that!"  So I make a challenge to myself to make a DIY project, adding a touch of twist to it most of the time.  So would you like to take a look?

I’m super grateful to the amazing Roxy for allowing me to do a guest post on one of my favorite blogs, Effortless Anthropologie. As the wonderful Gigiofca says, EA is my “Grand Central Anthro.”

I LOVE Anthropologie clothing and accessories. I am super excited to have an Anthropologie in the city where I live, finally! I’m a huge fan of Anthro jewelry, so I thought that I’d post a few of my favorite Anthro necklaces.

Anthropologie unveils a home SALE!!

This week Anthropologie's sale is all about home. There are a few selections from most categories and all dinnerware is 15% off except utensils. List of most everything after the jump!

Playing the Sale Guessing Game

Last week Anthropologie welcomed March with a sale but the fresh markdown set was kinda small. My hope is that means more markdowns are on the way this week! Certainly there are plenty of items that could stand to be on sale, ahem, Anthropologie? Help a shopping budget out. If there's a sale tomorrow the post will be up overnight as usual. (Thanks Macgruffruff!) For now, the Sale Guessing Game is on.

Guest post by Bree: One item, Three ways

Hello fellow Anthropologie lovers! I'm Bree, and I blog over at Dream in Fashion, my self-declared fashion and lifestyle blog. I'm the kind of girl that takes pleasure in expressing myself through my outfits. But I'm also a rational girl, living on a budget that I can afford. Throw those things together, and you've got a financially-conflicted style blogger. So when I think about my wardrobe, I try to choose well-made, versatile pieces.
