Anthropologie – a sneak peak at the new Oklahoma City store!

 

Anthropologie, the vintage chic women’s clothing and home decor store, is nearly ready to open. On Wednesday, I got a peek inside the new store, which is next to Whole Foods in The Triangle at Classen Curve shopping center. The clothes have bright pops of color and unexpected shapes and the home decor is eclectic and fun. It opens Friday at 10 a.m.

Target goes up against Amazon to combat 'showrooming', according to The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal today published an interesting article about Target Corp. attempting to work with its vendors to stop “showrooming” — the practice of consumers testing out products in the store then buying them online for less.

Naartjie Kids, White House Black Market and American Eagle Outfitters coming to The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City

The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City announced today they are adding three new shops to their lineup to replace temporary retailers. Naartjie and White House Black Market are set to open around March 8 and American Eagle Outfitters is expected to open April 11. Naartjie is new to the market and I’m excited about this one. They have cute, affordable clothes for babies and kids. The boys clothes have fun themes like trains and the outdoors, and the girls outfits are unique and not too grown up. According to their website, Naartjie (pronounced nar chee) is a word for a small, sweet citrus fruit found in Africa. The clothing company started in Cape Town, South Africa and they have stores in South Africa as well as the U.S. Clothes are garment died and made from natural fabrics. Can’t wait to check this out!
