Fantasy Vacation Shopping a la Anthropologie

Now that I've gone and blathered on about my study abroad adventures (or lack thereof) and other things international, I have the travel on the brain. I'm not complaining - much - having been lucky enough to enjoy a Mexican getaway just recently. I'm also, you know, sorta grateful for being employed at the moment. However, some Fridays a girl just wants to get gone, as in, seriously gone.

So when I happened upon Anthropologie's happy little January '09 catalog, as my Twitter lovelies know, my AmEx and my passport commenced their traditional two-step of anticipatory glee. To better allow you & me to jettison off to that imaginary happy, beachy place, or perhaps for those of you who are honeymooning or off to vacation paradise soon, I bring you my summery favorites without regard to expense or reality and stuff:

Clockwise from the top left:

Waiting-For-Poems Sheath: love the robin's egg blue contrasted with the coral bow-belt.
Dazzling Light Shift: perfect for summertime dinner on the patio, yes?
Pivka Necklace: I prefer to minimize the beachy vacation jewelry, but this is so simple &
ideal with a casual shift.
The Artist's Tote: too lovely for the beach, but just right for a nice dinner out afterwards.
Crocus Bud Peep Toes: Rare is the vacation day when I can be talked out of my flips, but these
would be ideal for an afternoon of window shopping.
Zois Bellflower Bag: also lurrvely for a summery night exploring a new town.

Happy travels, imaginary or otherwise, to you this weekend . . .
