Currently Crushing :: Anthropologie

Hello!  Happy Monday!  Sorry for the radio silence guys.  With Maeci on her honeymoon still and me being out of town for business last week, this little ol' blog fell to the wayside.  But don't worry - things are back on track!

I received the most recent Anthropologie catalog in the mail last week and while skimming through I saw several items that I wanted to make sure I pinned to my style board on Pinterest.  The jewelry drew me in, but I found much more once I was online.  Isn't that how it always is?

Lately, Anthropologie has been killing it.  The past few years their stuff has been a little iffy.  Almost like the stuff looked kinda cute, but the quality and fit just weren't there.  I don't think I even bought two items there over the past several years, when I used to find stuff all the time.  But lately, I've found several items I'm really loving.

Here are just a few of the items that caught my eye...

Pincelada Tunic (bought this one a few weeks ago and LOVE it!  It's on sale now with an extra 20% off!)

Joliette Pendant Necklace

Flower District Jumpsuit

Verity Pearl Necklace

Solana Swing Dress

Filifera Slingbacks

Alsace Tee

Aren't they lovely?  I'm going to keep my eye on several of these to see if they get added to their sale, although I don't know if I can wait on some of them.  Do you have your eye on any of these items?  Are you finding more items at Anthro recently like me?

DIY Anthropologie Vase

A little while back, I saw this adorable dot planter at Anthropologie.  And my first thought was, "Oh, hello there lovely."  And my second thought was, "I kill plants."  Okay, just kidding.  But I really do.  My second thought was, "I could totally make this."

What's even better is that you only need three supplies for this project.  Hollaaaa.  So here's what you'll need:

Yup. That's it.  I used Rustoleum's oil-based gloss white paint.  And here are the steps you'll need to take:

1.  Clean your vase off with water, making sure it's completely dry after.
2.  Dip a toothpick into the paint lightly (you don't need much!).
3.  Start adding dots with the paint in whatever pattern you'd like, making sure not to put too much paint on at once otherwise it will drip (I worked from the bottom up, let it dry overnight, continued with the top, then let it dry overnight again).
4.  You're done!  Enjoy your new vase!

Let us know if you make one!  Have you made any other Anthro dupes?  We'd love to see your projects!
