I’ve been bad about posting my Que Bella’s so here’s one from last week during my office visit. I bought the Maeve Ring True Shell with my birthday discount and absolutely love it. The office visit was the perfect opportunity to wear it.

I took a size 6 based on the reviews. I wore it with my Jackie in black, No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Natural (I have found an 8 Petite is my best size) and my Lanvin Espadrilles.

And the Mason Jar Sippers I mentioned here? A huge hit at our party last Saturday. I made frozen margaritas and added a freshly juiced watermelon ice cube. I found more paper straws at TJ Maxx as well. I’m glad I did because even though they are thick they still end up tearing at some point and need to be replaced. The 8 ounces was just the right size for the evening. I will probably grab the bigger jars at HEB or Wal-Mart since the tops fit those too.

Have a Great Sunday!

On the heels of the Tag Sale, Anthropologie had some major markdowns this week. The awesome Anthro goddess that is Roxy has all the details on this week’s sale. I found a lot of my wishlist on sale and must say that this Summer may be the Summer of Anthro for me. I’ve made more purchases and received more PAs than I can ever recall. Add this sale and I’m on fire at Anthropologie!

Here’s what I ordered. I’ll review when they arrive.
Madrona Linen Loungers – I have been looking for a pair of linen beachy pants just like these. I love that these have a foldover waistband. Not quite elastic but still very comfortable. I ordered a Petite Medium so I hope they meet my expectations.

Linen & Lace Tunic – Another summer item I’ve been looking for was a black linen dress. It is another one of those throw on and you’re out the door. The reviews state this is boxy and runs large so I ordered a Small. And don’t confuse this with the Lace & Linen Shift which is also black, linen, but longer.

Striped Terry Blazer, Orange – As of this writing, this blazer has not shipped and I’m worried it won’t. I placed my order pretty early so I really hope it ships as I’ve been eyeing this for a while.

Dewed T-Straps – I am always on the look-out for a great Summer sandal in brown. The heel has the most lovely etching and the shoe is all leather, except for the bling on top. Can’t wait to see these in person.

Keyhole V-Neck Tee, Mint- This was just a tag-along. I am always looking for comfortable tees to wear on the weekends in the Fall and Winter.

And a few more Anthro loves that I was able to purchase with my birthday discount while shopping at the Chelsea Market in NYC.
Effortless Eyelet Henley, Sz Small – I loved the White so much I purchased the black too. This is very comfortable and lightweight. I sized down to a Small without any issue. The eyelet detail in the back is just the cutest.
 
Reva Elephant Tunic, Sz Small – I saw this on Roxy and knew I had to have it. 
I have on a Small on the left and a Medium on the right. Though the Medium gave me a touch more length it was larger through the chest and waist. I liked the silhouette the Small gave me. This is silk but very thin with no lining. I’ve worn this several times already as it is easy to throw on with sandals or wedges. 
  

Pilcro Hyphen Relaxed Jeans, Sz 28, Dulcie – I originally tried on a 29, which is what the pic is below but they were really loose all over and I knew they would stretch out. The 28 fit better and even after wearing they do stretch out but not to the point of needing a belt or pulling them up every 5 minutes.

Stitched Dahlia Blouse, Sz Small – I really love the top of this blouse. The stitching and embroidery in the orange is beautiful. But that stupid tie is the worst! I knotted it, double-knotted it, tucked it in my jeans and it always came untied. It’s the most un-functioning tie I’ve ever met. Having said that, I love the blouse and it was the first purchase I wore immediately, while still in NYC. If I come up with a solution to the tie I’ll let you know.

And because we entertain a lot during the Summer, I ordered the Mason Jar Sippers with a birthday gift card I received. I think they’ll be a hit at our next party!
