The People’s Medical Freedom Rally on 8/9
In NYC, there will be a rally on Monday, August 9th at 12:00 pm against the new restrictions involving immunization.
The Delta variant is causing rates to rise in some states and overseas.
A 16-year-old in Florida died from the Coronavirus this week. (See video)
While people are in the hospital dying from Covid-19, they are asking for the vaccine. They can’t get it then. (See story) A man in Virgina has been in the hospital for a week, gave his family Covid and wishes he got the vaccine. (See here)
If you remember the start of the coronavirus, NYC didn’t act fast enough and people died. Now at least they are doing something. Many people feel that this move is infringing on their rights.
People are upset that their jobs are requiring them to be receive the jab. Will it get to the point that people will lose their jobs over not getting vaccinated, even though the FDA hasn’t approved these vaccines yet?
Truth: Most positions that are requiring proof of vaccination will alternatively allow people to get a Covid test each week instead.
Some people are upset that that they won’t be able to go to a restaurant without showing the ID that they received a vaccination.
Truth: You will still be able to eat outside without showing an ID.
Glen who is the Brooklyn Tea Party President is upset that vaccinations are becoming mandatory and he feels that people’s rights are being taken away.
Here him speak about it here:

Will the rally be made up of all anti-vaccine Republicans? I don’t think so – I think there are people who legitimately are scared of this vaccine or who have had problems taking vaccines.

Stores like Anthropologie
My friends and I absolutely adore Anthropologie. We were trying to think of stores that are like Anthropologie or alternatives to Anthropologie because there aren’t a lot of great clothing stores in Brooklyn that we love. Of course there is no alternative to Anthropologie, but we do love Anthropologie sales and we buy items at Anthropologie’s competition:
Clothes which are like Anthopologie, but cheaper:
Modcloth- nice quality stuff
Shabby Apple-vintage inspired
Needle and Thread – but these dresses are more expensive ASOS carries some items from Needle and Thread though
Unique Vintage – nice styles
Lace Affair – sooo pretty and good prices!
DownEast Basics – inexpensive and cute (sometimes has Ruche items for less)
Shop Ruche- vintage inspired (clothes look nice, but don’t feel good – sometimes has Modcloth items for less)
Francesca’s Collections
SHE INSIDE
RoseGal – cheaper vintage dresses
The Impeccable Pig
Boden – nice items (run a bit smaller) have maternity & petites.
Tilly’s – cheap romper’s, dresses and tops – some are very nice/some not.
Alloy – sometimes they have one or two vintage choices
Lulu’s
Madewell
Miss Selfridge
Edressme – same prices as Anthro – nice stuff (maxi dresses)
Top Shop (less romantic – more edgy)
Sister store: Urban Outfitters
Cason and BCBG from Macy’s or Nordstroms. Free People is more expensive. **UPDATE: IF you love Free People, Check out stores like Free People here**
Handbags
ASOS
Paulina Carcache leather bags – shop on etsy too
Jewelry:
Express
Shop Ruche
Shabby Apple
Lulu’s
Vintage and Glam
Top Shop
Housewares:
Anthropologie’s sister site Terrain
Beautiful bedding
Garnett Hill has sheets like Anthropologie
Dwell Studio -gorgeous bedding – good thread count
Gorgeous Duvet Covers – some cheap!
Very Pretty pillowcases from etsy seller – see here (I don’t know her, but I like these)
Annie Selke has gorgeous quilt sets (but is $$) They also have Annie Selke Outlet with great deals (the deal of the week is always like 80% off – ex. queen sheet set $29.00)
Soft Surroundings (also expensive & nice…sale area there too) – they also have an outlet with deals – if you see something you like get it because stuff moves fast here.
Francesca’s Collections- housewares

West Elm has some nice sheets, but the thread count isn’t as high making them less soft.
Company Store has a few too.
Ballard Designs has a small, but nice selection (quilt on the left is from Ballard Designs)
Overstock just started selling pretty quilts. ($70 for the quilt and shams for a queen sized bed)
Plover Organic
JCPenny has a few cute prints and is known for being cheaper less expensive
LL Bean –
Brocade Hill -see the ribbon quilt
Urban Outfitters – a sister store of Anthro
Designer Living – nice comforters – good sales
Pottery Barn
Wisteria has great furniture
If you sew or know someone who does, you can get modern fabric from Ikea and create a duvet or curtains. See Annamoa or Cecilia
What other stores do you know of?

Anthropologie generally doesn’t have coupon codes. Sometimes they have a free shipping code if your purchase is $50 near the holidays or $150+ more seen throughout the year . If you sign up for their free club card, you get a 15% off coupon sent to you for your birthday. When I linked that card number to my online account, I also received free shipping. The 15% off is not a code that you can use online. You can also sign up just to get their catalogs. It would be nice if Anthropologie did a friends and family event where they offered a 20% off code or discount to use online.
Something great about Anthropologie – they offered free gift wrapping at Christmas time last year. Usually it’s $4.00 an item.

Truth: Most positions that are requiring proof of vaccination will alternatively allow people to get a Covid test each week instead.

Some people are upset that that they won’t be able to go to a restaurant without showing the ID that they received a vaccination.

Truth: You will still be able to eat outside without showing an ID.

Glen who is the Brooklyn Tea Party President is upset that vaccinations are becoming mandatory and he feels that people’s rights are being taken away.
