INSPIRED BY // ANTHROPOLOGIE
I remember going shopping at the mall with my mom when I was a kid, and I don’t remember ever being wow-ed by anything. In fact, I found them pretty boring, and they were.I remember the fist time visiting an Anthropolgie being amazed by the fact that a shopping store could actually inspire someone so much! Ever since then whenever I visit an Anthropologie I always make sure I have my camera phone and a little scrap of paper to write notes on, so I can remember all the things I want to re-create or the ideas that displays sparked in my mind.
I was browing their website a few weeks ago and was writing down ideas like mad! Then I got to thinking, it might be a little fun to give myself a little challenge and see how many I could make, and put my own little twists on. Well… I had a lot of fun! So I thought, why not do a whole week, here on the blog, just packed with DIYs and outfits that were inspired by Anthropologie? All this week will be tons of DIYs and outfits, all inspired or re-created from one of my favorite stores!
PS. This project, and none of the DIYs or outfits I will show this week were in any way sponsored by Anthropologie, or anyone else – just inspired!
So fun! Anthro is the one store my husband never minds going to with me, because he loves seeing all the ways they decorate!
Great idea!! I feel the same way about that store. I’ve never been in another store where I was so inspired (and wanted to buy absolutely everything)! The price tag is usually too steep for me, though, so I love this idea!
Thanks! and same here, that’s why I’m always dreaming up ways to DIY stuff from there!
This sounds like such a fun idea! Can’t what to see what you came up with :)x
Awesome idea! Can’t wait to see what you have come up with.X

Be careful. If you make things too close to the original Anthropologie might have grounds for a claim about copywrite infringement, and they might not like you telling people how to recreate their stuff really cheaply. Just saying, because I love your blog and wouldn’t want you to get in trouble. On the other hand they might take it in the spirit it’s meant – as a tribute and a bit of free advertising for them – might just be worth asking them though, just to be on the safe side.
Thanks so much for your concern Liz! I actually thought about it a lot before I did everything and did a bit of research and have seen other blogs who completely copied their products before that never had trouble. I did try to put my own spin on most of them though so they aren’t just straight up copies. I definitely don’t want to ruffle anyone’s feathers though! Thanks:)
