Gasp, Ugh, Yikes


I got the new Anthrologie catalog the other day.

I GASPED!!!!

Now, let me give you a bit of history here....
I always go into Anthro with the intention of buying clothes.
However, I never buy anything.
Why you ask....because I just think it's not worth the money.
I mean $128 for a skirt.
YIKES!
$98 for a shirt....OUCH!!
I'm not a good clothes shopper....
I do much better buying stuff for the house~

I do have a few pieces from there but not many.
I just can't seem to bring myself to buy anything.

However what I ALWAYS walk out with are kitchen items.
Such as tea towels, aprons, measuring spoons and.....

LATTE BOWLS...

It's actually a bit of an addiction for me.





These are what's left of my latte bowls.
I just love the vibrant colors.
I find them cheerful.
They can even make freezer burned ice-cream taste yummy.
Wait....did I just let you know that my ice-cream has freezer burn.
UGH!!!!!


However, they changed them....


These are the new colors.
YIKES!!
They are just too dark for my liking.

I know, I know......lot's of you probably like them.

Is it inappropriate for me to throw a temper tantrum?
How about a fit?
OK, OK...I will just yell from my roof top.

Looks like everyone in my family better be extra careful while using these beauties.
Otherwise, Maisy may just have to throw a temper tantrum.

For some reason these just give me comfort.
Weird huh??

Eww! I'm so with you- an egg plant color scheme. Who would have thought?

As my mom always says, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke!"

Uh, yeah, the new ones are u-g-l-y and I'm suprised they picked those colors. phewy!:( I loved the anthro towels you have in your kitchen when I visited. I agree on the whole $90 for a shirt thing. I got a shirt from anthro in my consignment store for lots cheaper! I will just wait and get them there!:)

Eww, I don't like the color either! I am an envious Anthro shopper, I am too scared to browse the website for very long that I might lose reason and believe that their "sale" is good. Their shoes are so cute but $169? Who do I look like Jessica Simpson? I shop at Goodwill! LOL

Fun blog. I am a new blogger. Lot of fun. I love those bright colors of those bowls. It is interesting how color themes change just to temp us comsumers to buy more expensive stuff. I love garage sales, thrifts and other found treasure places. Have a nice day. Dogwoos

I have these too! Myhusband just broke one the other day, a yellow one. Of the new colors I really like the plum...that could work. I don't buy much at anthro either due to cost. How are you? Long time no talk :)

i don't like those colors either! I have the bright/turq bowls and LOVE THEM! I only bought 2 of them and now I am regretting that! I make sure that I hide them so that I can use them any time I want. :)

I agree they are too dark. But maybe they will bring back the lighter ones next spring? We can always hope! And yeah you can throw a fit any time you feel it necessary!
Hugs, Lisa

I don't like the darker colors either, but I do still love their clothes, even if they are over priced! I wanted to come by and thank you for your kind words the other day on my blog. We're trying to begin our healing process right now, and I do really appreciate you leaving me a sweet comment...thank you!

I also love all of their kitchen stuff! I have tons of the latte bowls...I specifically went in the other day to buy more and saw the new colors...no thank you!!! Bring back my pretty blue!!!

Lori said...

You will have to lock up the old ones and not let anyone use them!

Zita - Mlle Magpie said...

I'm with you on the cheerful colours, Amy.
