Once upon a time, the Spring 2008 collections came out and Rodarte sent tulle dresses floating down the runway. A little while before that there was an epic film starring Faye Dunaway that swept all who watched into a golden world of crime and passion. While the style of the latter could be imitated, clothes of the former were sadly out of reach...and then came Target. An unconventional fairy godmother to be certain, but the type of modern benefactress girls on a budget depend upon.










I love Rodarte! The dress looks beautiful :D
ReplyDeletebeautiful dress, you look like a little princess:)

ReplyDeleteThe dress looks so lovely on you! I wish it were as flattering on me...
ReplyDeleteYou look darling! I've been lusting after that exact dress but my target doesn't have them!! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteThat dress I gorgeous. I first saw Tavi wearing it in an issue of Teen Vogue and I really wanted it. But we don't have Target here. :(
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely though.
Oooh, I've been waiting to see what you would pick up. :) That dress looks lovely on you. Now I wish I bought that one too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen my sister and I went to Target to try out the line, we didn't have such luck in buying something great. But this dress looks great on you! -Nikki

ReplyDeleteThis dress is loevly on you...
ReplyDeleteI want to know the rest of the fairy tale... was there a happily ever after?
I love this dress, so pretty! Why don't we have target here in Belgium?!
ReplyDeleteI just saw the Rodarte for Target collection the other day - I love it! There is one dress in particular - it's similar to yours, but it's light blue. I'm in love with it. I just may have to use my Christmas money, but I do so want a pro-Flickr account as well! Oh the troubles of deciding. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm procrastinating on my writing, which I really do need to start. Before I leave, however, I wanted to thank you for the comment you left on my blog. I always enjoy getting comments!
Have a good day!

ReplyDeleteso beautiful dress. and the pictures so magical
ReplyDeleteSeeing you wear that dress in nude is making me wonder if I should have gotten it in nude instead of black?!
ReplyDeleteOh well, I got a couple of pieces from the Rodarte for Target collection and I'm pretty excited to wear them soon! Just trying to think of ways to wear them and stay warm.. its like 20 degrees in Chicago right now!
Ohh, that dress is beautiful!! I love the ribbon details!

i think calivintage has this dress, too, but in black -- equally stunning as yours.
ReplyDeleteyou look like a princess -- very pretty.
Okay, yes. This is exactly what I was trying to describe to my husband- I love the Rodarte collection for Target, but on someone else. I tried the pieces on myself and I just couldn't get them to jive. But on you? Perfection. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning dress! You look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteyou are a glorious wood nymph in that dress. I too am kind of in a state of bliss that two rodarte pieces are hanging in my closet...
ReplyDelete-indigo
I got the black one. I think I might take off the bows on the shoulders though, they look a bit wonky on me. I'm thinking of putting snaps on them so I can reattach them whenever I want. The nude color looks wonderful on you! Very fairylike indeed!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and lovely dress!! I love your fun headband too! xoxoxo
ReplyDeletegorgeous gorgeous dress, wish we had target in the uk
ReplyDeletethe dress is amazing! and you look gorgeous like a princess in that crown.

ReplyDeleteThe dress is just breath-taking.

I love Rodarte! And you look like such a princess/fairy here. A fairy princess! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i lost my chance with a rodarte dress. by the time i visited target, nothing on my size was left.
ReplyDeleteyou make this dress look so darling! I saw the dresses Thursday while at Target and I just did not have the money to get one. I am hoping, however to sneak back in for one this week with some of the Xmas money I got.
ReplyDeleteOh you look absolutely adorable. I have the black lace halter dress and I just love it! Your headband is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that dress worked on you, because it looked pretty awful on me. I like how you're pairing it with the crown headband. These photos definitely do look out of a fairytale.
ReplyDeletePretty as always dear =)
ReplyDeleteOh, this dress looks so perfect for you and in this color, especially. I went with the black Rodarte slip dress just 'cause it's a safe color for me and although I thought the nude color was great, I didn't think I could pull it off! You, however, look lovely. Hope you had a good holiday!
ReplyDeletethat dress is totally lovely on you !
ReplyDeleteyou remind me of the vera wang princess perfume ads very much . i think u deserve to be the new spokesperson !

ReplyDeleteOh -- what a great reminder. The holiday craziness has left me avoiding stores, but I do want to get into Target and see what's left of the Rodarte pieces. Your photos remind me of the fairy tale theme from Vogue's Sept issue that Grace Coddington art directed.
