zarna's runway

an east meets west fashion blog. full of all things fabulous.

Saturday, April 23, 2011

windy days.

dress: lilla p, belt: anthropologie, shoes: bakers: rings: house of harlow, earrings: unknown, nail polish: essie's bermuda shorts

the wonderful ladies at lilla p sent me some fun items to review and my favorite piece was this ruffle v-neck dress. i am obsessed with wearing bright-colored, girly dresses all summer long so this piece is right up my alley! you can check out all of their fabulous pieces online HERE and if you live in NYC you can stop by their new store in the meatpacking district.

the lilla p team was lovely enough to offer one of my lucky readers an origami wrap (all you have to do is leave a comment with your email address) AND all of my readers a 20% discount code from now until may 6th - all you have to do is enter "zarna" during checkout! happy shopping :)

Become a true Goddess said...: So nice blue colour dress. etno belt is great too.The I love nude pumps; April 23, 2011 at 2:05 AM
Absolutely Mrs. K said...: oohh the blue, another fabulous color for you to wear. and oh the background, the background is sublime. again perfectly styled. the blue dress is so simple but the belt is like made for it. it does not only turn up the volume, it gives your look a little bit of an ethnical touch. again your earrings are magnificent. but the best part are the shoes because they are nude, it looks sophisticated but all the attention goes to the dress.; April 23, 2011 at 2:05 AM

The colour blue loves you.
I have fallen in love with your belt. To me, the real statement piece of the outfit, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I want it!!!!!

the nyanzi report said...: It look fantastic on you. I like the style and colour, but, and it's a big BUT, I'm not so sure of the fabric.

Here's why - it looks as though this fabric will behave in a way that requires alot of steaming and ironing.

I've dealt with it before. If not, it will look as if you have not paid your electricity bill... That's just how it comes across to me. How did you find it? Maybe I'm wrong. I'm I?; April 23, 2011 at 4:39 AM
Amrita said...: I am coveting your belt! Love the design of the beading, very unique.

The way you styled it, makes it look like its the waistband of the dress!
