in the throws of anthro

the window display, as always was...well. genius.

While in NYC, I made a quick little march through any Anthro that I stumbled upon- 3 I think was the count. I can't help myself. Luckily, if you've seen one's stock, you've pretty much seen it all {not including the housewares in each sale room- always worthy of a slow down and rummage through, you never know what treasure someone else passed on} And the shop at Rockefeller Center didn't fail me.

With Anthro. you just know the displays are going to be crazy good and sort of disconnected - random . Check out these little vignettes of plastic animals....

dressed for the cold, placed on stacks of sale plates.

cute.

But these were the show stoppers: charming, animals- so fantastically creative they made me dizzy.

Check it::

they're made with take-out/eating supply products!!!

This guy's my favorite. b- jeezus.

that's about the cutest thing made out of a menu, I've ever seen.

WHO thinks of this?

holiday baubles

Vintage Glass Orbs from Suzan Fellman look holiday, year round. I love how they look en masse, but even one would be a great accent, table top or book end. $65-$165

Also feeling the Holiday vibe with the Laurel Wreath themed pieces over at Emily Elizabeth jewelery.

there's something so, 'hark the herald angels sing' about this look:

If you're not one to pull the off the Laurel Crown, try the bangle instead...

and then there's the Pippa Small Peacock cuff, which I can't quite figure out if I love, or if it has the slightest, 'I work at NBC and I'm proud of it' ring to it. No matter at 14,000 Euros, I'll probably pass.

*sigh*. red, shagreen, asian inspired. exquisite. Who cares what else you have on when you have this number in your clutch.

love them. I've already tried them on, and they don't look great on me but I think someone out there needs these. The holidays are the perfect time to don the door knockers. These are complete in their kitsch with the rhinestone vintage detailing. You know who you are, no go out and rock them.
