Apparently Anthropologie are opening a store in London.

(51 Posts)
Just read about it today - it opens on Friday. I liked some of the stuff on their website but was always put off by the price - plus they'd have to ship it from the US! If I was anywhere near London I'd be tempted to go in and have a nosy.

I went there last week, I nearly smashed the place up. It offended me. All that bloody felt applique overpriced CRAP. And trying to sell me a 'lifestyle' too...the music - some sincere Canadian folksy 30-something singer babbling on. And no I don't want a doorknob with my initial on it for £20. And those WIRE earrings are not worth £65...ARGHHHH. It's so Sienna Miller wannabee...I hated hated hated it. Not to say that people might look nice in some of the wafty tops. I like cool things for my house, and to wear...but nothing in there was even very different.
oh fab jj, so glad about the jeans and your dress was beautiful! i bought the flowery top, will look great with jeans (uniqlo skinnies no less) i think. the strange wool one, was,ummm, strange. a potential sale purchase i think. i thought the whole place looked amazing, though there was some distinctly dodgy knitwear. it's still my new favourite place though.

Hoxtonchick, I very rudely didn't introduce you to my husband when I saw you there today, sorry! Did you get the tops? My friend loved her cup and I'm planning on wearing my dress out tonight. And the sweater tomorrow but not with the skinny jeans because I would look like a carrot or an oddly shaped turnip. You were right about Uniqlo, thanks - got 2 pairs for £10 each, bargain.

The store is beautiful, although more expensive than the prices on the US site, sheesh.

That India Knight blog is fab - thank you JJ! I love her How, Where and Why to Shop book (published a while back - all my mates got it for pressies from me!) and now I get to drool over the lovely things she has in her blog - love the holday homes she has posted and all the other bits! Bliss!

I agree, some things are a bit too frilly, but some are beautiful. And my skinny jeans are perfection.
I actually like the bedding!

that yellow top for eg - bung it in "QS" ( vari provicial high street dahlink) and it would fit right in

I wish I still lived in London. (Never thought I'd say that)

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
