Tribal Brain...

Whenever a new collection debuts on one of my favorite websites, such as Anthropologie, I scroll through the new stuff and if I see anything that catches my eye, I right-click on an interesting item to open in a new tab and then review my findings when I am done scanning the collection. (This makes me seem organized, but it is really just a frenzy of scrolling and "ooohs" and "aaahs")...

Anyway, I did this today and found a definite theme linking the items I had opened in the new tabs. My brain must subconsciously be looking for items with a tribal influence:

Neubauten Necklace at ModCloth
(Simple and geometric. I could see this going tribal or super modern)



Sahelian Acacia Shorts at Anthropologie
(It's like a herd of zebra on your butt! Fantastic!?)


Tilda Necklace by Alexis Bittar
(Must. do. neck exercises. to prepare. for. wearing)


Ok, so how many of you have already run out of the house to buy some zebra shorts?! J/K. What themes are playing in your subconscious these days?

Decisions, Decisions...

Back in the day, (pretty sure I was in high school/early on in college), I became obsessed with Alexis Bittar when I saw one of his butterfly necklaces in Anthropologie. I didn't buy it then due to limited funds- not that my situation has changed ;)- but now that AlexisBittar.com has launched its "From the Archives" section, I occasionally check for the necklace from long ago... I have seen the gold version, the big and small versions, but I checked yesterday and- lo and behold!- the necklace is back!

I know it won't look iconic to anyone besides me, but I love that the butterfly wings look like they are encased in some sort of giant rain drop. Now I just have to decide if $425 is worth it for a nostalgic acquisition....
