BUY THIS (So We Don't Have To): I Love A Good Sale.

Okay, first of all, I feel like it's my duty to let you know that Madewell is giving an extra 40% off sale stuff with code SHORETHING. The sale just started and stuff goes fast, so, uh, if you want some $54 Slim Boyjeans (high rise style here) I would go do that right now and then come back to read the rest of this entry. I'll wait.

You back? Got your jeans? Maybe that cute embroidered top that I am TOTALLY pretending isn't on sale? Good, good. Now, my actual intention was to talk about Anthropologie house stuff because I recently bought a few housewarming gifts and was delighted to find that some really nice stuff is an extra 40% off right now. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I bought clothes at Anthro but when I want a nice little house gift, I can usually find something great.  Check it:

Uh, did you know that Liberty has a line at Anthro? THESE LIBERTY MUGS ARE SO CUTE AND ARE ON SALE. I also love this Liberty table runner which I first thought was a scarf because they put it with accessories. Really, I don't see why it couldn't also be a scarf:

I am kind of mad that I didn't buy that table runner because new house! I could use it. (If I do buy it I promise I won't wear it as a scarf. Probably.) I also was quite taken with these little critter mugs:

Put a zebra on it and I will probably want it. Then spent quite a lot of time trying to talk myself out of needing a creamer with some kind of slinky dog creature on it: 

But! We are talking about housewarming gifts, right? Right. You can't go wrong with a fun dishtowel:

Or a set of pretty cloth napkins which is the kind of thing that is nice to have but you don't think to buy for yourself:

I also love stuff like these cheerful melamine plates which are great for parties and such:

It is so nice to have a few really pretty bowls for dips or nuts or just for eating your cereal in style: 

This bowl is $1.77 and I am not even kidding. I also think a little vase would be a fun gift:

And finally, because I'm not a monster I checked out the beauty stuff on sale and look what I found:

Hooray! This Supergoop set is under $10 and a low-commitment way to try out Marianne's favorite sunscreen brand.  It might be in my cart, is all I'm saying.
