Yes! I have a love/hate relationship with Free people! - I LOVE almost everything at that store, but most of the time it's just a touch too expensive for me to purchase it. I try to watch for sales but usually the color i like or the size i need sells out!

I can't even look at the Free People site! I find too much that I just really want and really cannot afford! I could fill my closet with outfits from there (if only I were rich!) *sigh*
^^I prefer Anthropologie but I love Free People too. Aren't they owned by the same company? I just love me some Easter egg colored Anthropologie dresses... for $250 of course.
Becca, that dress is gorgeous, please buy it because I never could. Kaythanks.

mann im so mad at you guys.. because of this thread i went to anthropologie. good news is they were having a sale. i was wearing this cool vintage silk dress. its white with a sorta pucci graphic print with corals and greens (mostly white though - not really crazy looking). i found the PERFECT thing to go with it!!!! they had a coral wrap dress in matte jersy (gotta love that material). it has a v neck and sorta...bell sleeve detail at the cuffs. it hits at the knee.
i LOVE dresses like this. they can be worn over another dress (like the one i had on) or they can be worn over swim suits or alone. they are great for travel because they dont wrinkle and work in most climates - they work well on planes as jackets. the coral color will also transition into fall if i pair it with the write other items (like boots). best of al it was marked down to 39.99!
i signed up for their mailing list and got a catalog to boot!

do we need to start a new thread. someone said that we can only go up to page 99....does anyone know how to copy the last few messages onto a new thread?
oh and becca, i totally agree about free people. that dress is to die for - id pair it with a cardigan and go out to dinner on a patio! sometimes i find great free people things here at the thrift...but ive told you we have ROCKIN thrift stores here

I think we can keep going...I don't know for sure. If we keep going it might explode like the roo clues threads kept doing and we might lose posts. But the sex thread is up to 210 now...has that one been sploding too? I haven't been watching it closely enough to know.
Also, I too love free people...and anthropologie, although a lot of times their stuff seems a bit too dressy for me. If only they weren't so expensive!
Which sort of reminds me...I know there's a few of you from NYC...I'm going to be in the city in a couple weeks, does anyone have good suggestions for places to shop? I'm going to be going to a Broadway show...visiting Strawberry Fields in Central Park...maybe the museum of Natural History....and if I can somehow get tickets, a show at the Nokia Theater in Times Square....so I'm mostly going to be in that general area. And I totally want to visit some cute little shops of the sort that only occur in cities. Not necessarily clothing, just anything good. Or general areas I should check where there's lots of good stores. Also I'll probably need to find some places to eat that are casual and not crazy expensive...yeah basically just give me any tips you can think of, I don't go to the city much!

pepper, you should definitely check out the costume institute at the Metropolitan. They have the "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" exhibit going on right now. I'm hoping I can check it out when I visit myself!

Oh, I concur. Just got around to reading my e-mail from the Met; I personally want to see the Koon's sculptures on the roof. They look awesome. And shiny. Now if only I could get someone to go with me.
and Ghostland Observatory and MGMT are playing within one day of each other in Brooklyn
Ghostland: Jul 26 2008 8:00P Celebrate Brooklyn / Prospect Park Bandshell Brooklyn, New York MGMT: Jul 27 2008 12:00P McCarren Park Pool Party Brooklyn, New York
I would have planned my visit for that weekend, but I've got to help the rents with a yard sale the weekend before! I'm tempted to extend my visit but I think my fiancee would be jealous!

i got my birthday dress ;D only dif is that im gona wear a bright color tank top underneath it and its a bit shorter on me and no belt, but im in love with it. also obviously im not as skinny as her lol. my mom got it for me for my present ;D i dont know what color to wear under yet. maybe turquoise? maybe yellow? maybe pink?
^^^ I like yellow, since the dress is a bit to the cream colored side, but that's definitely not a color that works for everyone. Were it me, though, I'd go with a black tank. Play up the print a little. It's a very pretty dress, BTW!
Post by sparklybecca on Jun 25, 2008 11:32:08 GMT -5
yea someone else suggested black, but im a colorful girly ;D i have a perfect yellow tank with little sparklys on edges, im gonna go with that i think ;D
It like physically hurt for me to walk into Forever 21 and shop for my friend's birthday yesterday, because I am SO poor I knew I couldn't get anything. I ended up getting her some cute plastic stud earrings in different shapes and bright colors... and myself a pair of aviators and some colorful headbands. Hey, at least I didn't even venture into the clothes!!
I did put a bunch of cute stuff from Old Navy on my Gap card but I really can't afford it so I'm gonna have to do some returns. Maybe I'll post here later with pics of what I have and you ladies can help me narrow down!

urban outfitters, anthro and free people are all under the same parent company. dcbee i dont love everything free people either but when i do find something i love, i LOVE it
OMG, you aren't kidding. I can't believe that only 2 weeks ago, I was leaving for the 'Roo with money still in my pocket! And now I'm buried at work and broke. Things sure change.
Oh, I was just griping in general But it's funny that Urban, Anthropologie and FP are all the same - it's like Gap/Banana/Old Navy. I generally am not a fan of anything at the Gap, get completely random results at Old Navy and love everything at Banana.

I'm completely weird with Gap/Banana/Navy. Nothing at Banana fits me. The only thing that fits me at the Gap are the jeans (and they fit very nicely, indeed). At Old Navy, I can just pick something up and buy it without trying it on. I know my sizes and they never vary. But for all of Banana (and pretty much all of Gap, but the jeans) I'm between sizes. And I know it's wrong, but I do love the vanity sizing for Gap. That I can get into a pair of size 2 jeans is sooo not real world. But I'll take it!
I think the difference between Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie/Free People chain is more the store/brand concepts than the clothes themselves - in fact, I think you can find Free People at UO & Anthropologie. But I agree, Gap/Banana/Old Navy are totally different animals despite being owned by the same company and made in the same factories. Though once when I worked at the Gap we had the exact same men's shirts that were at Banana, but for $15 more! I mean exact same, we found zero differences besides labels! But that was an anomaly for sure - usually the brands are vastly different.
Speaking of Old Navy, this one tank top I am trying to decide whether to keep for myself or give to my friend for her birthday ;D I already have some earrings for her that don't match the tank. I like gifts to coordinate, but really that's just an excuse for keeping something I like! Not so sure if its flattering on me though... she's a little slimmer than me and it is very much her style (preppy & pink) so maybe its meant to be hers. I can't decide! I wanted to show you a pic of me in it but I can't figure out the new embedding pics thing, so here's a link to it: www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=7524&pid=587672&scid=587672022

I'm just stopping in to say hi to all of you! Ever since I've been home from Florida/Tennessee(for Roo) I have been no stop busy. Hope everyone is doing well, and I'm still sad I didn't get to meet any of you girls There is always next year though. Have a good weekend!!! <3
Oh, I was just griping in general but I do love the vanity sizing for Gap.
The sizing is ridiculous. I'm 5'7 and normally a 0. At The Gap a few weeks ago, I picked up pants in the following sizes: 1 PETITE, 0 regular, 2 regular and 4 regular. What the sam hill?!?

Wow. That's weirdly random!
I'm petite and cannot wear the Gap petite jeans. They are cut just all kinds of wrong for me. However the long and lean in ankle length, for some bizarre reason, fit perfectly. Go figure.
