Recent Splurges




The dress I'm wearing above is from H&M and it is very old. It's not the Theory dress that I have listed below. Sorry for the confusion folks. LOL.
---------

I had no intentions of buying any of these when I left the house, but ended up with all this stuff! Shame on me.

Alexis Bittar Crystal Encrusted Rhodium Horse Shoe Necklace.
(wearing above)

Theory 'Shaylee - Regional' Dress
Size 0
This dress looks totally different on me than it does on the model. It's short and fitted on the model, but on me it's totally loose everywhere. I had the following taken in by Nordstrom: arm holes, sides of the torso, hips and also the length. The dress hits right at the knee, so I had them take about an inch off. Btw, Nordstrom only charged me $25 for alterations! What a deal compared to my tailor that I go to.
(will show pics after alterations)

Chanel Precision Ultra Correction Line Repair Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream
I was looking for a good eye cream to prevent and get rid of fine lines around the eyes. The SA was raving about this, so I said fine I'll buy it. It better work!

I also got a cute cardigan from BR, but can't find it anywhere online. It must be really new or old. I got a size PXS and it fits surprisingly well. I will post pictures soon.

  1. Ping, you look so hot in these pictures! Please tell me you are not wearing the Theory Shaylee -regional dress in the pictures, because for the life of me I can't see any similarity from the dress that the model is wearing and the dress you are wearing. :)

  8. I remember this white cardi. I liked it in an old old outfit post of yours!

    DId you take before pics of the THeory dress? I can't wait to see the after! If it was so ill fitting, how did you decide to keep it? Was it on sale?

    The $25 price is awesome for everything you're getting done. Gotta love Nordies' customer service!

  11. ok I am officially jealous of the good weather in CA and you look so springy. I love it!

    Can't wait to see your Theory dress! That looks like such a versatile LBD!

    My mom keeps yelling at me to take better care of my skin and she even got me these Shiseido eye creams but I don't use it often. Let us know how your new cream works out!

  12. Ping! You look so angelic in these photos and in that pretty white cardigan! (with the horse-shoe pendant necklace you're like a Texan angel! YAY Texas hehe)

    I really like that little Speedy (I actually have it in the LV check) it fits petite bodies better...

    Also, are you sure it never gets cold in SF? I visited once in March and I almost froze!!! I love it though, so very beautiful, good food, always lots to do - California is really where it's all at!

  13. You look so beautiful! I think the dress fits you well, and you accessorize nicely too. Happy Valentine's Day!

  14. I'm so jealous of your teeny waist! Lol... like Jean, I was wondering why you decided to get the Theory dress when it sounds like it's such a poor fit. And I hadn't realized that Nordstrom does such complicated alterations, I was under the impression that department/clothing stores only do basic alterations like taking up a hem or something. $25 sounds like a steal for all that work. Can't wait to see the after pics! :)

  15. I love that fit on your jean dress but where did you get those nude pumps? They are so cutee! Like all the others are saying, can't wait to see how that Theory dress looks. =0D

  16. you look awesome, $25 for dress alteration is very good, usually I pay like $40 to get it done that I think there's no point in getting a dress that it doesn't fit anymore cuz it will just cost me more ha. have a great valentines day!
