i spent most of my day downtown shopping (again). well, to be fair i was more browsing than shopping, i'm trying to save up. i stopped by nordstroms again today and tried on a couple more things. most of the items i wanted to try on weren't available in my size, but i did find a couple items that were and i actually plucked up my courage and took photos! the sounds of my camera was covered up thanks to a hardworking air conditioner. :)


okay, so this is actually a size or two too big (40 in italian sizing would be a 2/4 right?), but it was so adorable i had to try it on anyway. i think we all know what collection this dress is from.


this second dress is nina ricci. it was so gorgeous and so soft, i wish i had taken some photos up close, the black panel is actually silk and a couple other sections are actually a periwinkle-colored mesh. i thought it was perfect that i had worn my head chain today, they complimented each other perfectly. i actually considered getting this dress but the $500 price tag was a bit unrealistic.


the SA that helped me picked out this dress and it was actually in my size. it's a white and baby bue striped chanel shift. very cute. i loved the detail at the bust.
and now what i actually wore today:


american apparel tank, old cut-off jean shorts, steve madden sandals, timex watch, diy head chain
a little note on the skirts: i will be posting two new skirts in my etsy shop tomorrow afternoon. i'm also working on some larger sizes, more colors and more 'poufy' versions. stay tuned. if all goes well i may start shipping international. :)

The chanel is cute, but I think I like what you actually wore best, lol.
i was reading through your posts, and i think you have a great blog. please link me if possible. thanks!
i love the white dress! It looks fabulous on you.
your outfit is way better
You look fabulous in everything, as always. It's funny, because I wouldn't pick those dresses out for you when thinking of your style but it's good to evolve.
I love your hair right now. It's at a perfect length.
those dresses are lovely.
Gorgeous dresses! I love the Chanel dress especially. The Miu Miu brocade dress was on my wish list, but alas, it was not meant to be.
Your outfit really suits you. It is a great look.
I am so in love with your hair right now. The Chanel shift is a dream
hehe
40 in Europe is actually like an 8 or a 10 in US sizes! But designer sizes run super super small.
I love the Steve Madden's
I can't get over how huge that dressing room is! I've never seen one that size here in Aus. It looks divine :)
love your blog and style!
really hope u can ship international soon ^^
i LOVE the first derss!
i'm gonna sound like a dork but damn those dressing rooms are spacious!
of all, the chanel shift looks best on you, in my opinion :}
the chanel shift looks great on you.

but i love your outfit
the most.
i also have the american apparel
singlet.
Great dresses, btw i love your style although it wouldn't suit me at all;)
I also love taht you're posting quite often lately, please keep it that way;)
I prefer the dress Nina Ricci to two others, it goes to you better. The price is a little deceived it is true but for a so beautiful detail, how not to fail ?
Fun to try on, and I think it's fun to wait as long as possible before buying really nice designer stuff...but I dunno if you are making your own money off of skirting and other projects then I say go ahead and blow it all on something gorgeous!
are you planning on making more xs/s skirts? cuz i missed out on the last two! and i rly rly want one-
I NEED that Nina Ricci dress and the Chanel slip.
Everything you wear is absolutely adorable.
♥ANGST
I love how the Chanel slip dress looks on you! You have a great bone structure!! Lucky girl!!
The second dress is GORGEOUS!
the nina ricci looks le best on u
40IT is different from 40EU, unlike the poster above stated. 40IT is indeed a US4.
you have fantastic legs! love all the outfits you tried on! did you buy anything? yay please start shipping international!

The Chanel shift is my favorite. I love trying on pretty and expensive things in Nordstrom.
love the first dress -

Hi lovely bb! You have ratties, too? That's fun. I'm so excited about my little guy, he's a lover and definately needs a bath - the shelter was a so overwhelmed with babies, it was really sad.
Oh my bella, the NR dress is beautiful on you. I love how it falls! So pretty. I wish I could have gone to frolic around Nordy's with you! Lucky girl.
Hope you're having a great week, love!
that white dress is beautiful. i love the detailing
eeek, i'd probably get hives from touching those dresses, they're so expensive--but gorgeous! i love the nina ricci on you the best, but the miu miu is my dream.
no, really what collection is that first dress from?? I know, I'm hopeless :(
The Nina Ricci looks AMAZING on you. The Miu Miu is a bit of disappointment.
tagged! :D
I really love your first dress!!
I love the chanel dress! It looks so good on you! Btw, I made an illustration of the outfit in your last post, and I hope it's ok that I used one of your photos alongside..

i wish i'd had more time in nordstrom when i was in the US. i was just in - grab the m by mjs - out. you picked out some great stuff.
ah well i can tell you dig italian designers, but the miu miu is a bit quaint - I think you would be totes rockin in zac posen though :)
