I learned a few years back that you can score amazing deals on +Anthropologie .com after Christmas on fancier, holiday influenced clothes. This haul features 3 items from the Sale page where I enjoyed an additional 25% off. As I share this haul, all three items are still available.   Nicolet Dress Inspired by his love of cinema and Old Hollywood glamour, Marc Bouwer creates timeless pieces with touches of modern elegance. Case in point: this incredibly flattering lace-printed ponte sheath. For a pop of color, we'd add ruby pumps and a statement necklace.   I can describe this blush dress in one word: SEXY. It oozes sex appeal. This is not a lace overlay, it is a print which is lined up perfectly on the front and back, void in all the right places. With caped sleeves, it is body hugging and curve making. Personally, I will omit a statement necklace in favor of some arm candy & a statement ring and never one for a red and pink combo, I would go royal ...

About 3 months ago I purchased a pair of high waist, wide leg trousers without trying them on. Once I got them home I realized what they were not designed for my body type - short with less than flat abs - so the high waist made me look... well... they looked like maternity pants. So I exchanged them and this is what I exchanged them for: Illume Good Nature tin candle in Avocado Mint: a rich fusion on creamy avocado, fresh lime, mint leaves and a hint of sweet sugarcane.   Featuring 40 hours of burn time, this 8.3oz soy wax candle is made in the USA and retails for $16.00. I can't even describe this scent. It is amazing. The lime and garden mint are perfectly balanced and kissed by sugar sweetness. This is not an artificially sweetened candle, it smells perfectly created by nature. The trick to these candles is to burn them for 15 minutes or so and extinguish the flame. This is when the melted soy becomes most aromatic.
