I worked around the corner from the one in KC and every window change was like Christmas.<br /><br />But, there is something sort of "lite" about the whole Anthropologie experience. The deliberately mismatched items, the twee details, the way everything could be vintage but isn't--I guess it works for plenty of people but always feels a little fake to me.<br /><br />(Don't get me wrong, though. If I pass an Anthropologie, I'll go in and caress things! Also, as I think someone noted above, their stores smell amazing!)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194611591267781101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-24919420841831310132010-09-08T23:19:40.882-05:002010-09-08T23:19:40.882-05:00yes, i love my napkins from there....

True, they are pricier than let say Home goods(!), but so much more entertaining.<br />They put an effort into selling. I like that in a chain store. They have a certain style! I can't afford to shop in designer shops, and I agree, they are too expensive, but I still feel better than at the big box shops! I have a weak spot for this place!<br />Most of their furniture is not what I would buy but I have seen many things elsewhere even more expensive. It's a look book for me!<br />And here and there a dish towel or door knob comes home with me...or a book or coffee mugs or plates! Or gloves or some knick knack I think I can not be without! <br />And they carry Tocca's 'Cleopatra', which I love!<br />You get the picture.<br /><br />XX<br />V.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572400688345132982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-10758632853385878742010-09-08T20:06:15.181-05:002010-09-08T20:06:15.181-05:00ooooh i wanna go too!

Don't recall seeing you there either. I find the prices to be within normal retail range, as apposed to allot of the triple and quad prices found around all of the Magazine Street shop's that acquire their inventory from the same old places. I think all of the Anthro stores have a unique look because each is so different. They also change their looks very often. Guess that's why the are a multinational corporation that make mega bank. They are obviously doing something right!<br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-51931847543871891352010-09-08T09:01:24.417-05:002010-09-08T09:01:24.417-05:00I am glad Nola has an Anthro within our city limit...I am glad Nola has an Anthro within our city limits...it sort of continues to legitimize our downtown area as being a "big city" downtown. That being said, I completely agree.
