Anthropologie just got better...

Love is in the air...

And not only because it is the month of Valentine's Day.  Perhaps many of you are already familiar with my love affair with Anthropologie.  For a while, I had a tradition to always pop in on Saturday mornings:  is there a better start to any weekend?  A morning spent in any of the charming locations near my vicinity are guaranteed to brighten my mood.  If I enter with a heavy heart, I always exit with a spring in my step after just a quick turn through the isles, taking in the eclectic collections, the natural textures, the window presentations saturated in creativity, the earthy and sensuous perfumes and candles, the home decor items, and of course, the clothes.

It is aptly named to reflect its close adherence to the needs and wants of the human person, specifically a woman.(1) Although its charm lies particularly in its whimsical aesthetic, the products are distinctly durable, wearable, and flattering for a woman's body.  It is comfortable and stylish without looking pretentious (it flatters a woman's natural curves and works with her shape without clinging in all the wrong places, thereby distracting from the beauty of her entire personhood.)  On the contrary,  the clothes help accentuate a woman's unique style and personality, and can be layered or paired with multiple items to create a new look every time.   Although their skirts are a personal favorite of mine, they can often be pricey (averaging $120 - 150 per garment).  Nevertheless, the quality and attention-to-detail is impeccable, and many times they can be found on super-sale.

It may not surprise you, then, that I become super excited to learn that they are teaming up with BHLDN and 

launching a Bridal Collection on February 14!

This is truly love.  

What will this collection look like?  If it's anything like their teaser intro, the vintage-inspired heirloom wedding dresses promise to include a bit of eyelet, lace, and many delicate details on each dress that will spell perfection.(2)  On the day dedicated to love and romance, check out their website.  If some of my readers also share my complete infatuation with Anthropologie, then maybe your dreams will come true with their new collection.  Maybe they can help you celebrate that special day when true love meets forever.  They can't supply the man, but they might be able to provide that dress that will bring tears to his eyes as you radiate beauty and walk down that isle...
