Girl's Weekend Re-cap

Happy Monday!!

I'm back from my weekend getaway and we had a great time!  It was so fun to just relax and have NO schedule to stick to.  We ate some great food, we got massages, we shopped till we dropped (stopped by both Anthropologie stores in the city), we ran one morning, we slept in, we got lost (a few times...lol) and just enjoyed a few stress-free days.  Coming home wasn't too bad though since I came home on mine and my husband's 12th wedding anniversary.  Where does the time go??!  I missed my crew so it was good to get home to all of them.  

I snapped pictures of my outfits every day so I'll be sharing those this week...here's what I wore on my way to Denver on Thursday:



Sveta Peasant Blouse-Anthropologie
Oversized Open Cardigan-Shade Clothing
Always Skinny Jeans-Gap
Weave & Plait Belt-Anthropologie
Rodeo Booties-Splendid
Lagniappe Necklace-Anthropologie
Elench Dollop Hoops-Anthropologie
Bracelet-Twisted Silver
Flower Bud Ring-J Crew

Although it wasn't cold at my house, Denver was rather chilly when we arrived so a warm top layer was necessary.  I'm still totally loving the Sveta Peasant Top and highly recommend it!  The colors are so bold and vibrant.  

So I mentioned we went shopping...we had great experiences at both Denver Anthropologie stores.  Both had great, friendly, helpful staff and we felt right at home.  We tried on a bunch of things and of course found some goodies to pack in our suitcases to bring home.  I'll try to get some reviews up later this week of some of the highlights.  I was able to cross some things off my wish list, and added a few more things on.  Just as a sneak peek, here's a few items I brought home with me:

Pattern Pop Tee

I fell in love with the colors of this cute top, as well as the fun contrast of prints.  I never quite pulled the trigger on the Split Stripes Pullover (which happens to be on sale as of this morning) because the length was a little questionable on me, sadly, so this will fill the void of not getting that one.  It comes in a few other colors that I would LOVE to grab up as well, including the grey motif that has grey stripes with contrasting a cream and yellow polka dot pattern on the back and pocket.  SO cute!

Braided Twill Trousers

These are the perfect casual pant for the summer...the army green color is super versatile!  It's a nice departure from denim.

Flickerfly Sandals


The backs of these gorgeous sandals are so fun with all the metallic beading.  I found them to run a little small...I took them in a size 40 (Euro sizing).  I'm going to have to punch an extra hole or two into the strap however to accommodate my small ankle...the strap fell too big.  No biggie though!  These will get so much wear this summer!

Stay tuned...actual reviews will be coming soon!

And just in case you missed it, Anthro brought us a decent sized sale this morning...did you check it out?  Some highlights for me were the Neon Pink AG Stevie Ankle Jeans getting a 2nd markdown to $50 from $158, the Mesilla Peasant Blouse (FINALLY...I was able to track down the green motif in-store still even though they're sold out online so call CS for help if you're trying to find it) and the Duo Colorblocked Top.  Of course there were many more great items marked down...too many to mention.  Did you pick anything up?

Off to get my day started...hope you have a great day!

  1. Sounds like you had a great time!
    So many things on my wishlist went on sale today. Yeah! I love a good sale. Pulled the trigger on the Aquascope Cardigan, Graduated Hoop Earrings, Polished Plane Earrings, and the Mesilla Peasant Blouse. Debating on the Pansyfield Peasant Blouse. My store has never had it in the size I need. Have you tried this top on? Any sizing input?

    1. I ended up grabbing the Pansyfield...I ordered it in a size 0. When I tried it on a few months back in the store it seemed to be the right fit! So I'd say its TTS to maybe a bit big even.

    1. You totally should! They are great! And they're skinny through the leg which makes them a little less casual, even though they are totally still casual. Not as sloppy looking as others I've seen though.
