Shop Anthropologie, because, yes, they actually have sale prices

Initially, the thought of finding low prices at Anthropologie may seem almost as impossible as the thought of enjoying ketchup on a brownie—it just doesn’t happen (soon you will realize how I enjoy ketchup on almost anything--except chocolate).  But don’t disregard the term sale prices with Anthropologie just yet.  Hear me out.  Anthropologie is filled with shabby-chic, vintage clothing, accessories, décor, bedding and more—but at prices you always hesitate at before you hit the cash register.  I'll admit, however, that there is the occasional splurge because they have an item you just can’t help but fall in love with (it happens—I mean they’re store is great).  But for the other 75% of the time, it’s hard to get yourself to spend a lot on something made to look old.  That’s when you make your way over to the sale section of their store or website.  They actually have pretty incredible deals here on all of their items.  While their sale section is usually a mish-mosh of random tops, skirts and trinkets, you can always find little gems worth the price. 

Unfortunately, there are no Anthropologie stores close enough for me to be willing to sit in rush hour traffic, so I opt for their website.  It’s a beautifully-designed site that is easy to shop on and navigate.  The only thing their site is lacking is the opportunity to smell their delicious candles when you log on (it’s almost worth the traffic just to get a little sniff--but I can live without it). 

On Tuesday I was in need of some major retail therapy (no different, really, than any other day of the week).  I went to the sale section of Anthropologie.com and began my search.  That’s when I came across their “Stormy Nut Bowl” (sorry I can’t link it because they sold out today but luckily I saved a picture so you can see it below!).  Now what could I possibly do with this nut bowl?  A lot!  Haven’t you ever been to someone’s house where they have a small bowl filled with nuts for you to munch on?  Well, I have and I’ve always wanted a nut bowl I could call my own.  As soon as I saw this one from Anthropologie I fell in love.  Then, I looked at the price and loved it even more.  For $3.95 I could serve nuts in a decorative bowl or use the bowl as a cute decoration for our home—the best of both worlds.  (The only anomaly in this situation was the fact that it was actually more expensive to ship the bowl than to buy it.  But who's really counting.)  I got an email confirmation today that the nut bowl is on its way to our condo, and I cannot wait to set this little gem out and fill it with nuts.  You may think I'm nuts--pun intended there--but I honestly cannot wait!

I hope, reader, that you can also benefit from the little gems Anthropologie has.  You have to admit that it feels great when you leave Anthropologie with something to take home—feels even better when it’s on sale!

Love,
