Cool Finds at Anthropologie

Anthropologie is basically known for their amazing collection of clothing. But of course, all I care about is their home items. I spotted these lovely ikat bowls on this beautiful table setting done by Manvi at Mochatini.

Had to have them. So I went on the Anthropologie website, and spotted these amazing flame leaf bowls that I had to have even more. They're not even my style, but something about them was so compelling. Ugh, I need to keep my money in pocket, but I found myself in my car on the way the Anthropologie, without hesitation.

Once I got there, I saw that they had many cool home products. Here are a few I was able to capture.

Knobs (cabinet, door, other):

Dinnerware:

This is the bowl I bought! Lovely!

This bowl is reason I even discovered the flame leaf bowl. For shame!

Candle holder:

Glasses:

Duvets:

I'm noticing that I am particularly drawn to blue these days...

What's Going On At Pier1

Pier 1 Imports is great for an eclectic mix of home furnishing ideas. I raced through the store quickly so I wouldn't buy too much, but of course I couldn't leave without buying something. Here are some of the items that caught my eye.

And what did I end up buying...?

Ta-da!

The cobalt blue drinking glasses! The color is such a perfect match for the plates I bought from World Market. I couldn't resist. They were on sale.

Even water will look good in these!

NY State of Mind

Time is a tickin' and I had to leave Vosges and head to CB2. CB2 is Crate&Barrel's more contemporary line of furniture and home furnishings, and its a little cheaper.

There are so many distractions on every block in NY. The store could have easily closed on me if I didn't give myself some extra time to get there. I am practiced at the NY weekend trip, so I know how I am...

... And I was right. I found diversions left and right. I picked up some fabulous jewelry at the street vendors, and I just had to stop at one of my favorite haunts, the Pearl River Mart. It is a retail store filled with Chinese goods packed with everything you can imagine. Fabrics, clothes, dishes, lighting, bedding, etc.

Cool gift boxes.

This picture doesn't do this pillowcase justice.

With all of these great things around me, I managed to stay focused. I had items at CB2 I wanted to purchase and those darn street vendors ate into my shopping budget with their tempting baubles! I grabbed a box of gardenia incense (which don't smell like incense at all), and continued on my mission.

I finally make it to CB2. I mean, really, is avoiding shipping and handling really worth it? Absolutely!

Of course, after I take a couple of pics, my camera's battery dies. I had to take the rest with my cell phone, so they might be a little fuzzy. None-the-less, take a look.

It was so crowded in the store, it was hard for me to take more pics. I, however, did picked up different types of serving dishes and some champagne flutes. Now I have to find something to celebrate. I'm ready to drink out of those fantastic flutes.

Indigo Fever

Run, don't walk to pick up these fabulous Indigo salad plates from World Market! I know I did...
