Anthropologie London Opening
Yesterday I decided to treat myself to a morning on Regent Street with a very limited budget! Anthropologie is a website that I have drooled over for years and I have been terribly close so many times to placing an order and paying the extortionate shipping rates and no doubt customs charges to hold some of their beautiful goodies in my own sweaty little paws.
So when I heard that they were opening their first European store in London my heart did a little skip, my palms got a little bit sweatier and I knew that I was going to have to take a trip there. I hadn't planned to go on opening day but hey what the hell!
Besides the gorgeous clothes and home ware that they sell one of the other things that Anthropologie is famous for is their interiors. And let me tell you folks it certainly doesn't disappoint, from the enormous living plant wall that is watered from rain gathered from the roof
to the incredible chandeliers that hang in the stair well
to the mesmerising teabag installation in the window. The whole place is fabulous.
Anthropologie do sell a lovely line of clothes but given my current weight fluctuation issues I paid no attention to those and instead drooled over the home ware instead.
And of course, what shopping trip is complete without a little self gifting?
I think I showed remarkable restraint considering all the yummy deliciousness that was there! Of course I can't promise that I will when I go again, which the second I have a proper job and a decent pay cheque I can assure I will be doing!
Laughs – I told you! My mother-in-law bought me a whole set of those bowls…which Matt has systematically broken over the years. I’m down to two solid ones, and one with a huge chip in it. Methinks I need some new ones!
Oh my goodness, what fantastic displays, love the balls of wool, glad you had a nice day.
Wow, amazing! I’m supposed to be going to London for work at some point, maybe I will have to have a wee look here…
I’m a long way from London so thanks for sharing your visit to the store.
They are a fun store to browse in even if you’re on a budget. Everything is so inviting and colorful.
I have heard that is fab, I will have to pop over this week!
I have developed a burning desire for a day in London.
Hi, there. I saw the teabag installation and would like to know how the idea came about. The reason I ask is that I created a lighting fixture out of the same material one year prior to the time this image was posted. In fact, I had the lighting fixture up for sale on Etsy and I having growing suspicion that plagiarism may have been involved in this concept. Please contact ASAP through e-mail:
