I always fall in love with the Anthropologie world each time a catalog comes out/I go into the store. I'm not the biggest shabby chic fan, but the surreal/precious/straight-out-of-a-book qualities win me over. Their visual merchandisers must be geniuses!
I was just in Anthropologie yesterday and it was amazing! Going into that store is like stepping into an alternate universe full of random knicknacks and everything beautiful and slightly quirky. I can't exactly afford anything in the store, which makes having to come out of there all the more depressing, but I sure can enjoy the scenery. The catalog pictures are lovely! And so creative! I too want to live in an Anthropologie catalog!
It's so adorable and fairy tale like. I went to New York last spring and I fell in love with the displays in the window of the store, it was so beautiful.
we don't have anthropologie in canada and i hadn't even heard of it until a few days ago (a few people have blogged about it recently). but i wish there was one nearby, it seems like such a fun, whimsical store!
I looove those pictures, especially the house. The bicycle! The ivy! The bridge! I cannot wait to move out on my own and start my demi-derelict existence in some pretty cottage.
And I have NEVER been in an Anthropologie store, thanks in part to my being too severe in dress to appreciate the pretty girlishness of it, and thanks in part to their carrying some frag I really want to try and am afraid I will purchase without due consideration.
However, I always appreciate good catalogue art, so I thank you for posting this. I love draped open doorways--there is a house down the street here, a stucco house, with dark maroon drapes and medieval outdoor lighting. It makes me rue the day I dropped out of that perfectly decent PhD program and decided to write freelance.
Hee, my room looks a lot like that photo with the books strewn everywhere (except less artistically arranged and more "dear god, the librarian's gone on a demented, destructive rampage!").
I suck at taking naps, no joke. But when I've got Ira Glass telling me a bedtime story, it's a cinch to just lay back and relax and learn a little bit more about This American Life I'm living. Pretty much every episode ever made is online for free, and it's my goal to listen to all of them!

Beautiful!! I want to live in that house!
haha I wrote about the catalogue too, it is amazingly shabby chic. The last picture with the umbrellas under the bridge is my favorite

I went to live there too!!

totally! it's way too perfect to actually exist. Kind of like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Only I guess it's Anthropologieland.
I love vintage wallpaper. And old suitcases. And umbrellas. Ooh!

The umbrellas are fierce! They looked like lotus.
Thanks for visiting my site girl. Hope to see you there again soon.
beso!
I've always loved Anthropologie, I really need to take a trip down to the states to go shopping.
me, too! Those are amazing images, and the clothes is fantastic. :D

So beautiful!! I hate Anthropologie. I've e-mailed them countless times to send to Australia but still nothing. :(
It is such a lovely store...I live right across the street from one and I have to avoid it so as not to wind up destitute.
i love that amazing house.
Why did they throw the books all over the place like that though?
A frenzied reading fit?
A pillow fight but with books instead of pillows?
Oh those pictures are amazing, I love vintage luggage..you've made me want to go out and look for some!!
Why does Anthropologie have to be so expensive?! Its my mom's favorite store.
I've been feeling the same way lately!
I'm going to make my new place as whimsical as possible.
I like the teacup waterfall...I have one in my backyard though, so unreal? I think not.
I want to live in a whimsical paradise too! Weird, huh? It seems like everyone here does....
I'd love to live in that world.
Thanks for the comment. You know, I try. :D

I fell in love with the catalogue too! Wonderland, fairy tale world...
I always want to live in Anthropologie surroundings but I'm never keen on the clothes.... it's very odd!
Oh my, I wish that was my house. If I ever have the money I would want to start collecting tea pots. Pref. floating ones.
We dont have Anthropologie here. Pity.
Ps. Thanks for stopping by!
omg i really like this post ! :) haha anthropologie is simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G :-)
I love Anthropologie magazines, they take me to a different world--a delightful world.
Oh Anthropologie is my perfect little world. It is what my heaven will look like. Maybe with a few more men.
Well, I'm going to live in the store so that you means you can have the catalogue :) By the way, do you want to exchange links?
Breathtaking. I am forever eyeing those umbrellas.
I just want to live in the Anthropologie Universe. They have one near my house, and it's all I can do not to go broke every week in that place.
The catalog looks like the exact incarnation of my imagined life in a bucolic, 300-year-old antiques left behind in a crumbling Italian villa.
Let's all move there, shall we?
these are all beautiful....anthropologie is amazing
how whimsical - i would love to live there too!
