Anth-ROPE-ologie

After the Jill Stuart show yesterday, I made a little stop into Anthropologie.  As always, I fell in love with everything I saw, but particularly was their selection of rope-inspired items.  A swirl of inspiration began going through my head--navel gear, western lassos, and even tightrope!  It's neutral, it adds texture...could I possibly start off spring any other way?
