55 Budget-Friendly Versions Of The Things You've Been Eyeing But Your Wallet Has Said 'No'
$20 Old Navy jellies that'll look a whole lot like the $800+ The Row's Mara netted flats to help your old dogs breathe a bit while you work toward being able to actually afford the Olsen Twins' stylish creations. (I just ordered these for myself and they're comfy and they look $$$$ in person!) Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more for the name-brand shoes. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams. A ribbed button-up tank that'll give you the same vibes as an Abercrombie & Fitch one for half the price. So you could double ya' want. Maybe this is what they always meant when they said transitioning your look from office to happy hour? A cutesy juice glass that'll run you $6 less a pop than the iconic Anthro icon juice glasses. Once you start collecting 'em, you may not want to stop! A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze. A "Soft" perfume rollerball that's definitely made an appearance or five in your FYP scroll. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful (it gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones). BUT! That's not the only reason to love it. It reminds reviewers of the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀 and layers like a dream. Or a Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball to have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent. An Anthro-leaning reversible quilted throw blanket in a ton of charming prints for a bedroom refresh that'll brighten things up and leave a little more room in your budget for, perhaps, a fun throw pillow?! Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops will help you fake that you spent the weekend taking in the sunshine instead of sick and holed up on your couch catching up on all the horror movies you've been meaning to watch. And at $33 cheaper than the Drunk Elephant version, you might just go ahead and invest in a second or third bottle now. Reviewers say it's super hydrating and buildable! An spaghetti strap sundress with built-in shorts (maybe "built-in shorts" is the 2025 summer mantra?) so you can reap all the benefits of a cooling sundress in the heat without having a Marilyn Monroe moment. (Reviewers say it's waaaay cheaper than one you can find at the mall.) A pair of pilot shield sunglasses for a very close look to the $699 Bottega Veneta pair. If you're on TikTok you've probably already seen these bad boys and thought about taking the plunge. It's a mere $14.99 plunge so, eh, might as well. Or some oversize square sunnies if you've been admiring the Bottega Veneta version but have such a horrible track record with keeping sunglasses in fighting shape that you can't in good conscience spend hundreds on a pair. A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort. Or, go all out with a set of golden bracelets to help build up your wrist stack 'til you can throw your money at some real-deal Cartier ones with price tags that'll make you gasp. An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540–inspired Cremo Body Wash will help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day. E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total. Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Some sharp-looking pointed-toe flats with similar comfy, machine-washable features to pricier Rothy's or Vivaia flats. You'll be glad you packed these to get you from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Towel on a long but gorgeous scenic view! And when you get home, you can toss 'em in the wash to look like new for your next adventure! A beaded shoulder bag in case you've added a similar Staud one to cart about a million times but haven't been able to checkout just yet. The brand's beaded bags became instant classics but you can get a little splurgey at Anthro without having to completely upend your monthly budget on a (gorgeous) $295 bag. You could get three of these at that price (if you wanted). A set of wrist and ankle weights will feel like an extra fun accessory after you look up how the pricing ($22-ish) compares to similar Bala Bangles ($50-ish). Slip on these before you take a stroll with a pal to get in your steps. Just be prepared for the onslaught of compliments by passersby. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $46 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months. Sliick Ingrown Rescue Solution to halt painful (and unsightly) ingrown hairs before you realize they've rudely shown up on your first beach day of the year, no matter how you're DIY-ing hair removal. AND it's half the price of holy grail Tend Skin! Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) Self-Tanner for some super-easy-to-apply color that'll develop in an hour. No need to book a (costly) spray tan appointment. (Psst, reviewers who've previously sworn by St. Tropez products have made the switch!) A cherry bag charm can add a lil' razzle-dazzle to your plain bag that's just not doing it for you anymore. Just let your work nemesis assume that it's the $95 Coach charm. A cute two-piece pajama set in super soft fabric if you LOVE the look of $128 Roller Rabbit PJs but just can't personally justify spending that much money on something you wear to bed, no matter how comfy and cute it might be! An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) A long-sleeve bodysuit will wrap you up in an incredibly soft fabric that reviews oft compare to Skims. AND it's supportive enough so you can wear it without a bra, which is always a great thing! Plus, a stretchy bodycon pencil dress with heaps of Skims comparisons for the shape and stretch. I'm guessing this is what Morticia Addams would wear to an all-inclusive beach resort. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you'd mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette to help you build out and highlight your face's gorgeous assets for a mere $8 instead of $88 with a similar Makeup Forever palette. Listen, you don't have to spend a bunch of money to LOOK it. And a palette like this is gonna last you a while. A baroque-inspired mirror to instantly dress up an entry or hallway. The gilded frame looks equally great hung on a wall or atop a console. And every time you gaze upon your reflection in it, you can think about the dough you saved by opting for this one over the more expensive Anthro version. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that'll free up a bit of coin if you've been eyeing Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter as a glow-getter on a budget. This stuff has hyaluronic acid and squalane to give you that lit-from-within for less than the cost of a pricey chopped salad from that place beside your office. A faux-leather bag you'll do a double-take on because it's verrrry similar to Polène's Cyme you've been stalking online and thought, "Welp, I could buy this instead of flying to my college roommate's wedding" before buying that flight. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks can pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. A faux-pearl choker that's a dead-ringer for a Vivienne Westwood piece you can easily add to all kinds of outfits that are missing something. Mystery solved. Slingback heels to add an air of sophistication to a simple outfit. We're not on a Chanel budget, but that's perfectly fine and normal! These beauts will help you chase that feeling AND turn out to be super versatile so you'll have a pretty low cost per wear. And while we're chasing that feeling, a quilted leather crossbody purse can scratch a Chanel-ish itch while adding an affordable purse into your wardrobe rotation. A glitzy long-sleeve sequin dress in case you marveled at the $765 16Arlington dress Hailey Bieber wore but gasped out loud when you looked at the price. This under-$100 version is just begging to make an appearance in a loud, dark club somewhere in Europe. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses your nemesis will mistake for the $400+ Miu Miu ones, which is fine. Let 'em think that and put that extra cash toward whatever else you want. A multipurpose blush stick you can try out to create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. A pair of satin block-heeled dress shoes you'd mistake for some Loeffler Randall heels if you didn't buy them yourself! Reviewers also say that the supportive straps mean you can still make all kinds of moves. A wedding dance floor hates to see you coming. Slip-on mules because you're not allowed to wear sneakers to the office (I'm emailing HR on your behalf) but don't do heels. You'll get all kinds of use out of these comfy alts to the pricier Madewell Gemma mules without having to MAKE yourself wear them enough times just to make yourself feel better about dropping serious dough on them. Platform slippers you've eyed on so many other people in public (or, well, the similar but more expensive Ugg Tazz) and want in on the cozy style. Once you slip your feet into the faux-fur shoes, you'll find every which way to wear — even in the sweaty pits of summer. Cushionaire slides that'll help satisfy your old dogs' yearning for comfy Birks (there are 1,000+ reviews comparing them) for significantly less. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. A plated ring with just a bit of glitz that'll help you channel the Cartier look without affecting your financial planning goals like the real-deal would. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume because you thought about shelling out for YSL's Black Opium but your budget said no despite all your other perfume bottles being on empty. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt that'll run you far less than Lulu's $118 scuba hoodies.

Promising review: "I bought these hand towels to freshen up our bathrooms, and I'm so glad I did! The quality is amazing — these are so soft.

Promising review: "Bought these as a pair to use as nightstands, and really like them! I love how much I can hide in the bottom section, and can use the top as a single layer of commonly used items: glasses, eye mask, chapstick etc. (No more of my cat knocking my glasses from the surface in the morning!)" —Brendy 2024Price: $348.60 (originally $498, available in two colors) A ceramic table lamp for 30% off if you're tired of dark and bland corners ruining your sunny vibes.

Promising review: "Love this modular sectional! The neutral tone of the Irena print makes it so easy to match with any décor. It's the perfect add without being too overwhelming for a sectional." —kphanthroinsiderPrice: $1,118.60 (originally $1,598) A stoneware vase for 30% off to do as the Romans do... did?

34 Anthropologie Products That'll Elevate Your Life
A bird-shaped pencil pouch: A little birdie told me you spent a full two minutes digging in your bag looking for a pen. The little birdie and I have a solution, and it's this adorable pouch I've already added to my cart. Promising review: "I absolutely love this pencil pouch. I work hybrid and use the pouch for my in-office days to take my needed pens, highlighters, and pencils. It's very unique and does not feel cheap at all. Bright colors and great quality." —felizmamaPrice: $25 (available in two colors) A fashionista kitty doormat to wipe your feet, hold your shoes, and brighten up your entryway faster than you can say, "Meow, meow, meow." Anthro has SO many great doormat options if you're in the market! Sardines, a tiger-themed matchbox, and a patisserie of these are edging toward my cart to combat the spring and summer review: "What a lovely doormat. It's heavy, really superior quality. It's thick, too. It's almost too pretty to leave outside! Heartily recommend for cat lovers for a cute, quirky addition to their home." —desiruePrice: $48 A Kate McLeod bug balm stick because who said protecting yourself from bugs has to be gross? This natural repellent is made of cocoa butter, citronella, geranium, and cedarwood. Plus, it comes in the cutest stick-form so that you'll be the coolest, most mosquito-free friend at the outdoor festival when you whip this out of your bag. Price: $28 A perfect little crossbody bag you'll love for its fashion and can-do carry-all attitude. With three pockets, an adjustable strap, and a deceptive amount of carrying space, this will become your new handy dandy sidekick for all your spring and summer adventures. Promising review: "I love the size of this! Love the extra strap. Can fit my iPhone, keys, lipstick, sunglasses, and a few other things." —dopePrice: $68 (available in five colors) An icon juice glass for making your hydration goals all the sweeter. (And cuter!) These glasses are Anthro-famous and if you haven't started collecting your faves, now is the time! If you're already a big fan, make sure to click through anyway because they have SO MANY new review: "This is a must-have in your kitchen! I have been obsessed with these for years and have been collecting them over the years, and I also love the seasonal designs. They are so fun to display and everyone always compliments them!" —zac2424Price: $16 (available in 25 styles) Or a cheerful stoneware mug if your preferred method of hydration is a big ol' cup of coffee or tea first thing in the morning. These bright-colored mugs are a little happy jolt all on their own! (And if you're like me, you need to cycle through your favorite mugs to keep the spark alive, you know?) Price: $16 (available in three styles) The reviewer-beloved Somerset maxi dress so you can give yourself the gift of feeling floaty and comfy and ready for virtually any kind of event: brunch, wedding guest, baby shower, or just a quick shopping trip. This dress is one of those pieces that can truly be dressed up or down, so it for sure is an all-around win for your closet! I own TWO of these and only wish I had more! The elastic waist is some sort of miracle magic fabric that cinches in without squeezing, so it feels like it was tailored to you! Promising reviews: "I love this dress, it is so comfortable and breathable. I will be buying this in all the colors and prints that I like. You cannot go wrong with this at all." —Chinkypinky"I loved the fit, fabric, and feel of this dress. It is very comfortable and elegant. I'm looking forward to wearing it on my summer travels!" —rjoshiPrice: $168 (available in women's sizes XXS–3X, in petite sizes, and in 10 styles) A luxurious Salt & Stone body wash reviewers call "heaven in a bottle" because of the scent and texture. Warmer weather means more sweating, so be sure to make your shower as welcoming as possible since you'll be in there a lot more often to ditch the grime. I've had this exact wash for about a month and will simply ~not~ be going back. It is the perfect spreadable gel consistency, the smell truly is divine, and a little goes a long way with this bottle, so I don't feel like I'm washing money down the drain. Promising review: "Absolutely love this scent. So fresh, and can actually smell it on my skin after a shower!" —h_j124Price: $36 (available in four scents) A scalloped milk glass table lamp if your bedside table is a bit dreary and could use a touch of vintage class to elevate the entire room. Just prep yourself for a Downton Abbey or The Gilded Age rewatch, because that's what unboxing this beauty will make you wanna do posthaste. Promising review: "Kudos to Anthro for getting this to me sooner than expected. It's everything and more! I bought the blue with brass, and it's surprisingly heavier than I expected. I had no trouble finding the bulb at my local hardware store. It takes a T10, 40W. The light is much brighter than expected, but that's okay, I don't like overhead lighting anyway. If you are on the fence about purchasing, just go for it!! You won't regret buying. :)" —blueauroraPrice: $198 (available in seven colors) A clever fusilli pasta-shaped candle so you can have your pasta and eat it, too! Bring some light and fun to your next summer pasta spread or just use it as quirky decor if you can't bear to burn it. (*raises hand*) There are a whole bunch of quirky-shaped candles, including a hunk of cheese, an olive, and a farfalle pasta noodle Price: $23 A rainbow stone necklace to take your look from average to "somewhere over the rainbow" in two seconds flat. With lots of colors to choose from, you'll surely find the one that best represents YOU and your style. Promising reviews: "Good quality stone gems that fit with any style." —xxsummerinxx"I layer this piece with two other gold necklaces to dress up an outfit or wear solo for a more casual look. Definitely worth it!" —Carol EPrice: $50 (available in 16 styles) A BrüMate Resa water bottle I make no secret is in direct competition with my other BrüMate Era water bottle for the coveted spot of Emotional Support Water Bottle #1. This one comes with a handle and an impeccable locking mechanism, so swing your hydration partner round 'n' round if it suits you because this baby will NOT spill! Look, I've given this as a gift, received it as a gift, and fully intend to buy another for myself next time the "little treat" mood strikes because these are THAT review: "I love this water bottle. It keeps my drinks cold in the Arizona weather." —Apwa521Price: $43 (available in three colors) A classic fluted mirror to add more dimension to any room. Or, if nothing else, to give you an ideal place to practice your best, "Mirror, mirror on the wall," Evil Queen impression. Price: $418.60+ (originally $598+; available in two sizes and three colors) A pair of raffia coasters if you hate water stains but love a micro-decor moment. Promising review: "These lemon coasters are so cute! Got these as a gift for my mom, who is doing an Italian coastal theme for her patio. She absolutely loves these and wants more to use as wall decor." —Kylie MPrice: $18 for a set of two (available in two styles) A pair of New Balance 327 sneakers I personally gifted myself because I was OBSESSED with their Anthropologie styling. And don't forget the pictured funky laces set to really make them pop and complete the look! I smile every single time I wear these and get asked about them all the time. 10/10 a life elevator, if you ask reviews: "By far my favorite tennis shoes for everyday wear!

Anthropic CEO wants to open the black box of AI models by 2027
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay Thursday highlighting how little researchers understand about the inner workings of the world's leading AI models. To address that, Amodei set an ambitious goal for Anthropic to reliably detect most AI model problems by 2027. Amodei acknowledges the challenge ahead. In 'The Urgency of Interpretability,' the CEO says Anthropic has made early breakthroughs in tracing how models arrive at their answers — but emphasizes that far more research is needed to decode these systems as they grow more powerful. "I am very concerned about deploying such systems without a better handle on interpretability," Amodei wrote in the essay. "These systems will be absolutely central to the economy, technology, and national security, and will be capable of so much autonomy that I consider it basically unacceptable for humanity to be totally ignorant of how they work." Anthropic is one of the pioneering companies in mechanistic interpretability, a field that aims to open the black box of AI models and understand why they make the decisions they do. Despite the rapid performance improvements of the tech industry's AI models, we still have relatively little idea how these systems arrive at decisions. For example, OpenAI recently launched new reasoning AI models, o3 and o4-mini, that perform better on some tasks, but also hallucinate more than its other models. The company doesn't know why it's happening. "When a generative AI system does something, like summarize a financial document, we have no idea, at a specific or precise level, why it makes the choices it does — why it chooses certain words over others, or why it occasionally makes a mistake despite usually being accurate," Amodei wrote in the essay. Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah says that AI models are "grown more than they are built," Amodei notes in the essay. In other words, AI researchers have found ways to improve AI model intelligence, but they don't quite know why. In the essay, Amodei says it could be dangerous to reach AGI — or as he calls it, "a country of geniuses in a data center" — without understanding how these models work. In a previous essay, Amodei claimed the tech industry could reach such a milestone by 2026 or 2027, but believes we're much further out from fully understanding these AI models. In the long term, Amodei says Anthropic would like to, essentially, conduct "brain scans" or "MRIs" of state-of-the-art AI models. These checkups would help identify a wide range of issues in AI models, including their tendencies to lie, seek power, or other weakness, he says. This could take five to ten years to achieve, but these measures will be necessary to test and deploy Anthropic's future AI models, he added. Anthropic has made a few research breakthroughs that have allowed it to better understand how its AI models work. For example, the company recently found ways to trace an AI model's thinking pathways through, what the company call, circuits. Anthropic identified one circuit that helps AI models understand which U.S. cities are located in which U.S. states. The company has only found a few of these circuits, but estimates there are millions within AI models. Anthropic has been investing in interpretability research itself, and recently made its first investment in a startup working on interpretability. In the essay, Amodei called on OpenAI and Google DeepMind to increase their research efforts in the field. Amodei calls on governments to impose "light-touch" regulations to encourage interpretability research, such as requirements for companies to disclose their safety and security practices. In the essay, Amodei also says the U.S. should put export controls on chips to China, in order to limit the likelihood of an out-of-control, global AI race. Anthropic has always stood out from OpenAI and Google for its focus on safety. While other tech companies pushed back on California's controversial AI safety bill, SB 1047, Anthropic issued modest support and recommendations for the bill, which would have set safety reporting standards for frontier AI model developers. In this case, Anthropic seems to be pushing for an industry-wide effort to better understand AI models, not just increasing their capabilities.
