Fashion: Anthropologie Blog event

One of my favorite fashion blogs that I read is a blog called In Pursuit of Pretty Things. Its written by Carol and Kathryn who are southern California locals. I first started reading their blog a year ago while in Japan and it introduced me to all of the beautiful things that the store Anthropologie has to offer. This being said it wasn't till just after I moved back here that I was able to enter an actual store and taken in the shopping experience as a whole.
Two weeks ago I was able to attend a blog event that they held at the Anthropologie store in Fashion Valley (San Diego), despite not having been able to chat with them for very long I really had a wonderful time. I met a really nice sales associate there named Carly and found a few items on sale that I took home in addition to the dress I am now coveting and hoping goes on sale before my cousins wedding in July. I was also able to share this experience with my mother and inspire her to check out stores like Anthropologie more often, I think she even tried on more items than I did at the event!
Unfortunately I don't have my camera with me in the US yet (Mr.S has it in Japan still), so I didn't take any pictures from the event. But I can show you the items I did pick up and the dress that I hope to snatch up once it goes on sale (or maybe even if it doesn't).

The Isabel Dress


Brickwork Tee


Horkelia Shift dress



This last dress I really want to buy to wear to my cousin's wedding in late July. I think with the right accessories and shoes it is good for a wedding, but you can also dress it down and I can get lots of use out of it.

What fashion has your eye been on for summer?
