Happy 4th of April, whee! Let’s pop some fireworks!
Don’t these cool flowers look like a fireworks display? I spotted them at Anthropologie a little earlier today.
They’re real. Not plastic. I don’t know what they are, though…
Speaking of Anthropologie, am I the only person who makes a beeline for the sale section as soon as they walk into the store? I’m always hoping to find something cute there, but alas, no luck today in that department.
I did like this green peplum top, but it wasn’t on sale. I think I’m going to wait and see if it gets marked down.
LOL! I really am my mother’s daughter…

April 5th, 2014 at 8:42 amGreat photos! I tend to like Anthropologies necklaces and decor/miscellaneous items much more than the actual clothing. Hehe

April 6th, 2014 at 1:00 amYay for protea 🙂 My grandparents used to have them in their garden – they’re beautiful!
I, too, make for the sale section in my favourite stores – grad student’s imperative 😛

April 6th, 2014 at 10:21 amHi Karen –
Love, love, love your blog. The flowers are protea as Carrie noted, and you can find them all over Cali. I bought some last week at So Cal Farmer’s Market, usually about $2-3/stem, and they last about 2 weeks. :<)

April 7th, 2014 at 9:01 amWe don’t have an Anthropologie store (I know, put on your surprised face), but I’m the same way with sales. It’s the best way to have nice things on a budget. 🙂
