The August 2011 catalog is finally out and I really am loving some of the new arrivals. This will be a new monthly feature where I tell you my picks out of that months catalog. :)





Gameboard Dress (Featured on page 8), REVIEW HERE
Style# 22189898
Color: Green Motif (038)
Price: $188
Why I Love It: I just recently tried this dress on and fell in love. The fit is great, the length hit just above my knee and the pattern is very cute.


Dalian Dress (Featured on page 10)
Style# 22802714
Color: Pearl (017)
Price: $178
Why I Love It: The sequin top is what really caught my eye for this dress. It's just a little something different then all the other dresses that Anthro has been offering. I love the contrasting material from top to bottom and the length seems to be a bit longer as it would hit below my knee. A very dressy dress!


Textured Dots Tights (Featured on page 30)
Style# 23130305
Color: Black Motif (009), Grey Motif (008)
Price: $18
Why I Love It: Yah! I love how there are tights in this catalog. I can't wait to see what type of cute, adorable tights Anthro will offer this coming up Fall and Winter seasons. I loved the Dotty Cluster Tights from last season and these are just as adorable. I am also loving the Slung Shade T-Straps featured with these tights well!

See anything you like? Did you add to your wishlist from this catalog?

Maple by Some Odd Rubies Tupelo Dress Style# 22587232 Color: Yellow (049) Price: $168 Length: 40'' Pros: Somewhat TTS, length, fit, comfortable, colors Cons: Can size down since back of dress is stretchy Verdit: A- Must, lust or bust: Lusting until sale

Here is The Addison Story's Collecting Dots Dress. This dress runs somewhat TTS, if not a little big/baggy. I am wearing an XS and I still had some room. The dress has a very cute polka dot pattern and the length is good as it hits just above the knee. The dress doesn't show off too much of the bust and there are even some extra buttons so the material doesn't slip open. This dress would look adorable with a belt.

A pass for now but will revisit during sale time.

The Addison Story Collecting Dots Dress Style# 21350657 Color: Red Motif (069) Price: $198 Length: 36'' Pros: Somewhat TTS, length, fit, pattern Cons: Can size down Verdit: B Must, lust or bust: Passing for now

Here is Carnation Lily Lily Rose's Flower Stand Dress.  This dress fits somewhat TTS. I'm wearing a size 0. The back is stretchy which allowed me to size down. If you are smaller or even larger busted, you might want to consider sizing down so the bust isn't too large. I really like the old fashioned look and feel to this dress. The floral pattern is very pretty but not as vibrant as the online photo.

Back to the rack.

Carnation Lily Lily Rose Flower Stand Dress Style# 20828174 Color: Red Motif (069) Price: $228 Length: 36'' Pros: Somewhat TTS, pattern, fit, colors Cons: Can size down Verdit: B Must, lust or bust: Passing for now

Here is Velvet's Whirligig Dress.  This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing an XS. You can size down if you want by one size since the material is stretchy, has give and has no zipper. I love how this dress comes in so many fun colors. The length is good as it hits at my knee and I love the neckline. The dress isn't too heavy and would look cute with a belt.

Wishlisted for sale time.

Here is Moulinette Soeurs Splashed Palatte Dress. This dress runs pretty TTS. I'm wearing a 2 here but the bust is loose. I would size down to a 0, but my local Anthro didn't have one to try on. I really love the fit and length of this dress as it's a bit longer then the other dresses I tried on. I also really like the colors as this can be worn with different colored cardigans and shoes.

Wishlisted for sale time.

Here is Sarah Carson's Ajisai Dress. This dress runs large in the bust. I'm wearing a size 2 here but would size down to a 0. I really like how this dress fits. It's very comfortable and the length is perfect as it hits just above the knee. It's somewhat lightweight and flowy.  The pattern is very cute with the different colored flowers.

A pass for now, but will revisit during sale time.

Here is Porridge's Cirque A-Line. This dress seems to run smaller then it's sister, the Sing Sweetly Party Dress, reviewed HERE. I'm wearing a size 4 here and it seemed to fit me fine. My local Anthro didn't have a size 2, but I do own the Sing Sweetly Party Dress in a size 2. I am just in love with the elephant print. I wouldn't wear the flimsy ribbon belt but maybe dress this up with a red, yellow, green or blue belt...something fun and colorful.

Wishlisted for sale time.

Porridge Cirque A-Line Style# 22613764 Color: Black and White (018) Price: $168 Length: 30'' Pros: Somewhat TTS, elephant pattern, length Cons: Bust runs small Verdit: A Must, lust or bust: Lusting until sale

Here is Sariah Carson's Gameboard Dress. This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing a 0. This dress doesn't have a zipper but it pullover styling. This was one of my favorites I tried on. I love everything about it...the fit, length, color, pattern. One thing however I noticed on the Anthro site is they have the front and back of the dress switched. The back the of the dress has buttons but on the Anthro site, they are advertising this as the front of the dress which is incorrect. In the model shot she is wearing the dress correctly with the buttons in the back.

Wishlisted for sale time.

Here is Corey Lynn Calter's Sugared Dress. This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing a size 2. One thing to note however is the dress is tight in the shoulder area. You can size up if you find this to be uncomfortable but I absolutely love this dress. The pattern is super adorable, the length as it hits just at my knee, and the colors. You can wear this dress with many different colored belts, cardigans and shoes. I also love the puffiness on the bottom.

On the top of my wishlist for sale time.

Here is Edme & Esyllte's Picacho Dress. This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing a 0. You could possibly size down in this dress since the back is super stretchy. I really love this maxi dress. It's a bit on the heavier side, but I love the orange color and the material. It also comes with straps and the back of the dress has a tie. I also love the hidden pockets which I feel is a must in dresses now. Thanks Anthro! This would be cute with a belt and some sandals.

Wishlisted for sale time.

Here is Moulinette Soeurs Horkelia Shift. This dress runs a little big. I'm wearing a size 2 here and would need to wear a size 0 for this to be more fitted. The size 2 sort of just hung on me. My local Anthro didn't have a 0 to try on. I really like the concept of this dress. It's gorgeous in person and I love the pattern and length. I can see the Ivory colorway being worn as a wedding dress since it's so pretty.

A pass for now. I really have no where to wear this.

Here is Maeve's Pixel Impressionist Shift. This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing a size 2. I really love the colors and pattern of this dress. I didn't like how hard it was to get on though. The slip is connected in the dress and you have to get your arms through both the dress and slip and put it over your head. It took me a couple times to get both my arms through correctly, but after that, I loved the fit and length. The ribbon tie is cute as well. You can also wear different colored belt, cardigans and shoes with this dress.

Wishlisted for sale time.

Here is Girl's From Savoy Around The Maypole Dress, which I also have reviewed HERE in navy. I LOVE this dress and love it even more in the red and gold colorway. I'm wearing a size 4 here since my local Anthro didn't have any sizes smaller. I originally purchased a 0 in this dress in the navy colorway since the back is super stretchy and since it was tighter around the bust area. This dress is just pure perfection and is a must buy!

Wishlisted.

Good morning everyone! Anthro sales have been fantastic the past month or so with some really good markdowns.

Did you buy anything from this sale? Are you still eyeing anything?
