oops i went shopping again

i only went in to anthropologie to look, i swear! but then, what's this? a giant sale rack! {and you may well know that a sale at anthropologie is still going to be expensive.} but wait... $9.95 for a top? are you kidding me?! so, i went a little crazy...




ooh la la! each item was on clearance for $9.95 except for the last one which was $19.95. so, fifty bucks for four tops- i just couldn't help myself! and i really love all of the clothing, each one has a unique drape and soft, quality fabric. and look how well they layer!
i love a good sale.

kitten update

i got such a big response from my kitten story a couple weeks ago, i thought it was about time for an update. so far, three of the five kitties have been adopted, leaving only larry {above} and olaf {third pic down}. i'm actually surprised that larry wasn't the first to go... this little guy has to be the funniest kitten i've ever met. for one thing, he likes to take over the dog bed...

...also, he plays really hard and then just falls asleep wherever he happens to be at the time :: under the couch, in the middle of the floor, on top of one of his siblings. like my brother said, he and his wife "often see a kitten acting like a fool and ask 'who is that?' and it's almost always larry."

olaf is definitely the shyest but he's coming around. he's not afraid of the dog at all and he loves to play with his siblings, but he's a bit wary when it comes to people. we're trying to find a potential owner that understands that it will take a little time to earn his trust. but he loves to sleep next to a warm body, so he will undoubtedly be a lap cat in no time.

see what i mean about larry? what a goofball.
if you know anyone in the portland area that might want a kitten, please let me know! also, see my brother's adoption blog and this video for a little peek at jasper {the pup} and armando {adopted} playing around. it's pretty cute.

anthropologie november 2009

it was such a beautiful autumn day in portland yesterday that i decided to ride my bike downtown and walk around some of my favorite shops :: of course, anthropologie is definitely on that list. mind you, i almost never buy anything there (a little too spendy) but i'm always inspired by their displays and especially their merchandise. so when i got home, i was ever so happy to find the anthro november 2009 catalog in my mailbox! ahhh... 88 pages of wonderful loveliness. here are a few of my favorites ::

i saw that purple dress above, except it was in navy blue- it was even more fabulous than the picture- so soft and light for a knit dress! i'll be adding that one to the wish list...



you can view the full catalog on anthropologie's website. there are also lots of great accessories, home decor, and even some new kid's items!

dear creatures

los angeles based fashion design company dear creatures based their autumn '09 line on images of 1960's girl scout uniforms, camping, and science experiments. {cute!} that's enough to peak my interest, but they took it a step further and created these adorable images to promote the line ::
dear creature clothing is available at shops like anthropologie and modcloth, but they will be opening up their own online shop soon, yay!
