| - Exciting news for fans of floaty, feminine fashion! As of April 22nd, 2009, there is an Anthropologie in Canada!
My friends and I have been waiting a long, long time for this. We have pored over every Anthro catalogue and studied the website with the sad knowledge that only rare cross-border voyages make shopping there possible. Admittedly, Anthropologie does ship to Canada but the costs are stunningly high. None of that matters now because at last we have an Anthropologie to call our very own!
On my first visit to the brand new store, I was very happy to see that it was just as beautiful as the American stores (merchandise and shop front both). I did overhear some loud person proclaim, "Everything in here is waaay too Kate Hudson-y." I know what they mean - lots of gentle hippie florals and soft fabrics.
I spent about half an hour just browsing the hooks and knobs section. Then I made the tour of the rest of the very spacious store and loaded myself up with clothes to try on in the well designed change rooms. It was agonizing to narrow my rack full of possibilities down to two perfect, classic, comfortable dresses that I am very excited to wear.
For me, shopping at Anthropologie is a special treat. The clothing is always quite pricey but the treasures I find there are unusual and unforgettable.
PS: A downtown shop is planned for Yorkville, opening in July.
