Happy Halloween - Sanrio x Tanaka Farms

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope everyone has been enjoying pumpkin patches and candy leading up to today, haha.

While I haven't had a chance to see Tanaka Farms in CA in person, I've seen lots of photos online about their super cute Sanrio collaborations throughout the year. When I saw that they had an online sale, I had to pick up some cute fall items!

The initial order that I received had the wrong tote bag inside, but they were very nice and sent me the correct tote bag really quickly. The enamel pin is perfect for fall/pumpkin season, and the large canvas tote bag is great for weekend shopping and farmers' markets!

Anthropologie + Terrain - Bethesda, MD

The new Anthropologie and Terrain/Terrain Cafe opened recently in downtown Bethesda, MD - I was very excited to check it out since it was such a big space that it was taking over. The whole store spans three spacious floors, including a BHLDN (bridal shop), Terrain (garden shop), and Terrain Cafe. There's a lot to take in, and the way the store is designed is pretty amazing!

There's a lot of "stuff", maybe even more so than actual clothes, haha. That's not a problem for me, since I love looking at gift and home items. It's a great chance to see a lot of their furniture pieces in person (third floor), which I've previously only seen in their catalogs and online. As we get closer to the holidays I can't wait to see how they change up the store displays! The Terrain Cafe has been crowded whenever I've passed by - I look forward to trying out brunch or dinner there soon as well!
