Oh Anthro!

Dear Anthropologie, why do you tease me so? I swoon every time I look at your website and see so many things I'd love to buy... beautiful shoes, a top or two, a pillow, and a rug. And your sales! Oh, the sales.



So last night when I thought I was due for an Anthro fix I checked in to find that you now ship to 34 countries. Oh my, could it be... 34 countries?! Barely able to catch my breath I clicked on the pull down menu.
Andorra
Austria
Belgium
Hang on Australia comes before Belgium. I check through the whole list just in case Australia is somehow mistakenly nestled in amongst the S's or the T's.

But it isn't to be. What you should have said dear Anthropologie is that you now ship to 34 European countries, by just inserting that one word my expectations wouldn't have been raised and I wouldn't have had so far to fall.

And so I will continue to admire you from afar.

Oh Sheena, aren't you sweet! Thank you for your kind offer. I'm afraid my shopping list would be too long... I am looking forward to my next visit to the US (though lord knows when that will be) to go mad in Anthropologie.

Lisa, thanks for reminding me how much I miss anthropologie and long for them to ship here too (along with Urban Outfitters...)! I used to have a slight obsession with their stores, not only for the beautiful products but also the lovely decor of the shops, make shopping even more fun and don't get me started on the changerooms :)
Have a great weekend!

It is so incredibly unfair that possibly the most awesome shop on the whole internet does not ship to Australia.

And when they DO start shipping, I quell in fear at the thought of how much they will surely be charging.

Much like I have not bought anything from ModCloth yet because their postage costs are completely unreasonable. Bah!!! Sometimes it sucks living on the bottom of the world ;-)

Ha, glad to know that Austria is followed by Belgium although I agree that there should be Australia in between! Too bad Oz is left out... and hopefully that will change soon!
(Although I bet your wallet doesn't agree with that)
