Yesterday, I found myself climbing the steps of a stately brownstone on the Upper West Side, the late-summer warmth hovering around 75 degrees. Despite that, believable faux snow still lined the staircase, leading up to an ornately decorated exterior. As I crossed the threshold, I was no longer in Manhattan — I had stepped into the winter wonderland known as Anthropologie’s "Holiday House", an exclusive, immersive shopping experience for AnthroPerks members from now until September 22.
While this isn’t Anthropologie’s first "showhouse", it’s certainly their most ambitious, featuring five more-impressively styled rooms than previous renditions. The only thing more exciting than an Anthropologie sale is their holiday collection, and this one doesn't disappoint.
