Anthro gems

So this has to be done. It is completely unavoidable.

I love the store Anthropologie! The best part about this store is that if you sign up (free) for an Anthro member card, you get a lot of benefits. The best benefit is that you get a 15% off coupon for your birthday! A lot of people sign up for the card, but they don't fill out the form all the way and they omit their birthday, so they don't get the coupon! The other nice benefit is that if you link your purchases to the Anthro card, you never have to worry about losing a receipt because you can always return stuff without a receipt!

On our anniversary this year, my hubby took me to the Santa Monica Anthropologie store! Well, he didn't "take" me there, so much as we ended up on a promenade mall that had one!! (He would never knowingly take me to one because he hates shopping!) Since it was a special day, he "let" me go explore the two story beauty! It was like chicken soup for the shopper's soul to wander through that store and admire all the artistic setups and displays. It doesn't matter if you walk out of that store with any purchases, it's just worth it to walk through it for fun! That store really does have a beautiful ambiance and atmosphere--it's the perfect escape, like a mini vacation!

Plus, they have these things that I call, "gems," which are items marked down to $9.95 or $19.95 from anywhere between their original price range of $38-$300+! On a lucky day, you can find a gem! I found a neat little gem that day, some cute gray plaid tweed menswear-inspired cropped pants for $19.95! The tag was marked $88 and then it was slashed down to $49.95, and then it had a third markdown to $19.95! It was meant to be! I love those gems because it's a way to get gorgeous quality designer clothes (that I normally would not buy) for Target prices!

So, I'd like to say thanks to my sweetie pie husband, my real gem, for indulging me in a mini vacation at Anthropologie!

Now go take a mini vacation to Anthropologie and find your Anthro gem today! Report back to me all your findings!
