Anthropologie

This is the most beautiful Anthro I’ve ever been in. I always make it a point to go to Anthropologie when I travel so I’ve been to the store on lots of major cities but this one in downtown Portland takes the cake. The individual rooms are laid out with home furnishings from my dreams and everything is just so well organized and thoughtful. This location even has a shoe room - a SHOE ROOM! Not to mention upstairs has a Bhldn boutique so if you’re getting married- check it out now! This place is just amazingly beautiful and even if you can’t afford anything, it’s worth a stop in just to dream. STAFF- I will say I was in the store for a good hour and not a single staff person asked if I needed help. And there were a ton of staff because it’s the holiday season but they weren’t super friendly. They seemed super preoccupied with organizing displays and making things pretty - which it is - but didn’t seem helpful to customers.

I love this store and had been coming here for years . Even if I don't have to buy something this place is fun for window shopping or just looking around . The store is huge and is sprawled across two floors and very aesthetically decorated . Whether you're looking for a holiday dress, a gently distressed denim jacket or throws that remind you of your vacation in Morocco last year, or bowls and plates with thoughtful handmade touches, Anthropologie probably has it. They also have a beauty and wellness line in addition to their clothing, home decor, furniture and accessories. The store employees are a good mix of snooty and friendly which is I believe the vibe they are going for . I love the dressing rooms and how thoughtfully they always check up on you and provide alternatives in case sizing or something else doesn't match up . One thing I am sure everyone agrees with is that its an expensive store and sometimes has really obnoxious pieces priced so high. Nevertheless , its always fun coming here and browsing around and admiring the gorgeously decorated place .
