LUST LIST: Leifsdottir Electric Lights Print Dress

$268, Leifsdottir, Anthropologie.com

Leifsdottir's been a favorite little indie brand of mine for a minute. They're a modern, modest Scandinavian brand with an emphasis on sculpted suit pieces (cooler than it sounds, guys!) and dreamy, moody dresses. Leifsdottir recently moved exclusively to Anthropologie, which is where I discovered their Electric Lights dress.




I LIVE AND BREATHE for a digital printed garment (call me shallow), and this dress is topping my lust list. It fulfills all of my own personal and picky criteria for the perfect dress: black, flattering V-neck, cinched waist, perfectly tailored sleeves (none of that bell sleeve nonsense). Plus, I can't even with the evening cityscape print.

FURTHERMORE, it's basically the fashion incarnation of Ellie Goulding's "Lights" video. And that can't be a coincidence.

Yo, Anthropologie Has Some Seriously Cute Stuff Right Now

Usually I don't conduct too many dealings within Anthropologie. And by "dealings," I mean I don't usually wander in, try on a bunch of stuff, hem and haw and then leave. Usually that's because I find the price points to induce no small amount of pants-shitting (though I don't know why because Anthropolgie's prices are barely different than half the shit at Bloomingdale's and I don't get the howling fantods over their prices). The other reason is that sometimes Anthropologie feels a little too art teacher/ garden party/ lady in her late '30s to me. SO many cheery brights and not enough bitchy blacks. However, I wandered into the Chelsea Market Anthropologie tonight, and DUDES, there were some seriously cute pieces.

Trust me, this orange polka dot top is approximately 40% cuter in person.

It's rare that I see a horse necklace I love as much as my Pade Vavre horse necklace, which I wear so much it might as well be a tattoo. But this Marion Vidal horse necklace is a close runner-up.

A double-headed horse necklace that looks TOTALLY deco? GAME RECOGNIZE GAME.

There's something Balenciaga-Miu Miu-y about these ruffled heels.

$168, Schuler & Sons, Anthropologie.com

 Speaking of Miu Miu, if you can't afford those Miu Miu glitter pumps everyone's creaming over, then perhaps you can afford these silver sparkly heels instead.

These bass-ackward Gaga heels aren't really me, but I'm totally shocked that they're Anthropologie! Anthro! You have a smoking-in-the-bathroom-between-classes side to you after all! I'm impressed!

A fitted, quilted black leather Leifsdotter jacket? I'll drink to that. I'll drink in that, actually.
