I'm a Boden Girl, In a Boden World

Just received the new Boden catalog.  I never really order anything from them, but instead flip dreamily through the pages and imagine myself as a skinny smiley Brit with a great wardrobe of colorful classics.












I'm so adorable and quirky in my imaginary life.

Check out the purses and wallets that I am lusting after-










Good looking, no?  And reasonably priced.  What is your dream life catalog?  J.Crew used to have potential- now it would entail me being a slouchy, underfed and overstyled model wearing too much jewelry and socks with sandals or such nonsense.  Anthro is excellent for those wannabe Parisian gamines fluttering down the streets carrying loaves of French bread.

  5. Love Boden! I have yet to order anything from them, but enjoy perusing their catalogs. Right now, if I had to pick a catalog, it would probably be Talbots, now that they have their groove back. ;)

  7. I love Boden but I have never ordered anything from them. I love J Crew also. Although I completely agree with your discription as of late. I am not a fan of the socks with heels look. I love that gold clutch, so gorgeous!

  8. Apparently we all love Boden but don't order from them! I'm not sure what it is exactly... overseas shipping, European sizing? Something is intimidating and not as easy as ordering from slouchy over-styled girls at JCrew.

  10. I love looking at Theory suits, actually wearing one would mean skinny pants with high heels. Not exactly proper court attire!

  11. Hilarious - I do the same thing as everyone else - look, but not buy! Not sure why that is, but there stuff is cute. Of course Anthropologie will always hold a special place in my heart.

  12. I LOVE Boden, and only once when ordering from them have I had to send anything back because I did not like it or it did not fit. Pretty amazing since I've ordered from them on many occasions!
    In fact, my mom is ordering 2 dresses and a skirt for me for my birthday in March- can't wait!!

  14. I love your commentary...it's so refreshing for a Sunday morning. = )

    And I totally agree about J Crew. The socks are really getting to me.

    I meant to post on your blog loooong ago, that I actually met my husband at a Widespread Panic show. I don't tell many people that...obviously.

  16. Again: another "I love Boden but have never ordered" gal!

    Anthro is my dream-life catalog... except without the ugly-ass shoes. I'll take J.Crew shoes - sans neon socks - with Anthro clothes + home!
