anthropologie charms

had to stop by home on my lunch break, so i decided on a detour to my local anthropologie to look for christmas gifts.

spent most of my time hovering over the display of charms, and picking a few to gift one of the ladies in my life.  although there seems to be quite a few of retailers offering a DIY charm bar, i really liked the size and selection of charms at anthropologie.  the chains are longer (30"), and quite a few of the charms are larger in size and unique in that anthropologie way.

i love the idea of creating a personalized gift, but picking each one requires patience and time.  i spent so much time at the store that i had to skip lunch to make it back to the office in time.

i love these number charms:

anthropologie chain $18 + charms $15-$22

which remind me very much of lulu frost necklaces, but for a fraction of the cost.

lulu frost plaza bronze number $168 at net-a-porter

you can also accent with wooden letters, animal cabochons, and always end with a little bling. the options really are endless, and i'm thinking i will go back to make one for myself sooner rather than later.
