A few days ago, when the weather was so beautiful in Boston, instead of going straight home from work, I walked towards Back Bay and stopped off at Antropologie. A dear friend of mine, P first talked to me about this store, and we've enjoyed a handful of meet ups there every since. This time I flew solo, and though being with P would have been much more fun, it was also nice to persue in solitude and take in the beautiful sites . As I walked around, I felt the day melting away, my blood pressure dropping and my happiness quotient going up. It was so nice to take a moment, let myself enjoy a few minutes with just me, before life took over again.
Throughout the store, I saw so many cute things. I saw the most adorable little bowls. Perfect for company, or ice cream, or fruit, or even cereal.
I stumbled upon adorable monogramed cups, perfect for you and a sweetie to enjoy tea in the morning, or coffee in the evening.
I saw cute cookbooks to perfectly complement my beverage.
Cupcakes, or donuts. Maybe one of each will be the best bet. After all, too much chocolate or sugar? Is that even possible ;)
As I finished the downstairs level of the store, I made my way up the stairs to the highest level, where the clothes were so cutely arranged by color. I absolutely loved the vibrant orange dresses I saw.
So I kept looking and browsing, and was so happy and so destressed that I was ready to face the rest of my evening and day and that never ending to-do list again ;) As I walked down the stairs I glanced at one last table, and found a book, that was too eerie of a sign. I took it to be confirmation that I was on the right track and that I should just keep following it.
After all if you follow your heart and strive to find happiness from within, life will always be whatever you want it to be. (Even if there are bumps and stumbles along the way)
Maybe I really should pick up a copy of this book while I'm at it too.
Smiles & love everyone. Hope you're enjoying your special moments no matter how crazy or busy the days can be.

Ashima, what a delightful post! Browsing through Anthropologie is like being in a sweet dream only we can touch and feel the goodies unlike in a dream. And to be in your company and loving those rows and rows of beautiful pieces is pure pleasure! Thank you for the sneak peeks of their latest collections and books. It's been a while since I stopped by. We should plan our meetup sometime soon :-)
Love the post and your thoughts especially “let myself enjoy a few minutes with just me, before life took over again”. I have crossed Antropologie several times but never been there; but now I will.
