Nice one, Anthropologie.
A colleague just forwarded me an e-mail from clothing store Anthropologie that has this fantastic animated gif. I’m entranced.

Pinterest Is Tumblr for Ladiez (Gizmodo) →
Pinterest has been coming up in conversation a lot lately, and I have found that it is a hard sell to males who don’t have interest in design (CR, for example, who receives my sales pitches daily).
