Wallpaper at Anthropologie

I didn't realize that Anthropologie sold wallpaper. Very nice wallpaper.

First, love these murals:

Etched Arcadia Mural $298.00

Enchanted Forest Mural $298.00

I also love this bird and floral wallpaper.

Vanuatu Twilight Wallpaper $198.00 33'L, 20.5"W

Wouldn't it be lovely in a bedroom?

Love the butterfly print on this dress.

Women's Belted Cowl-Neck Dress $34.94

Amazing how such a simple detail can elevate what is otherwise a very ordinary dress.

I really love the print on this dress.

Are these trousers pants?

Not sure if I'm liking these trousers from Anthropologie.

Pleated Optic Palazzos $148

The pattern on the back converges at an unfortunate spot.

Connect 40 Dress

There is some great sock knitting advice from Clara Parkes in the Winter 2011/12 issue of Vogue Knitting. She suggests looking at your old socks to see where they wear out first and knitting those areas at a tighter gauge (i.e. going down one needle size). The area can also be reinforced using a darning needle and the same yarn. I think I will try this the next time I knit my mother a pair of socks. She tends to wear a hole at the tip of her big toe. Instead of weaving in the ends of the yarn, I can cut the tail very long and use it to reinforce the toe.
