My stylish surprise(s)

Hi all, I apologize for not posting yesterday. My room mate and I did a bit of spring cleaning around the apartment and that ate up a lot of my day. Anywho, let's get to the fun stuff. As I told you earlier in the week, I bought two stylish surprises from ModCloth, and guess what! They are here :]

I received a beautiful navy blue lace top by MM Couture. And...

I also received a maxi dress and/or skirt by BB Dakota.

I love both pieces and thankfully both fit just right. I was so excited that the items shipped so fast too (they got here yesterday but I didn't wake up to hear the mailman). Now that I have caught the ModCloth bug I want to go on a major shopping spree but must refrain (someone hire me?). After Japan and scoring my first "big girl" job - it is on.

I will show off my pretty necklace from Grace and Viola in my Wardrobe Wednesday post next week. I am off now to go run some errands. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend.

Did you get a stylish surprise? I would love to see what you got! Also, have you entered my giveaway? CLICK HERE for more details.

  1. i didn't end up getting one because i was scared i wouldn't like it, or more so, it wouldn't fit, since i am really varied in their sizes.

    these are GREAT - i have seen some girls that were so-so, but you got lucky.

    1. I had never bought anything from them before so I didn't know much about their sizing but hoped for the best. Thankfully everything worked out. And thank you! I still haven't seen anyone else's but hope to see some soon.

  4. The top in the first pic is absolutely wonderful! I have never heard of a stylish surprise and I think I wouldn't order one, too risky to be disappointed :)

  21. Hey I got mine on Saturday, too!! I love what you got. That lace top is right up my alley. And that BB Dakota skirt/dress just screams, "Vacation!" I totally envision it being worn on a beach...ahhh :)
    I'll have to post on the little tunic dress I received sometime soon. I've just been sooo not into my blog this weekend. I've slept in incredibly late and chilled out with my neighbor-friends...I haven't had the desire to stop and blog, ya know.
    Well, it looks like your $30 got you two awesome things! I'd say you did well on your first MC purchase.

    1. Yay! I am glad yours got to you quickly too. Thank you :] I have always wanted a lace top like that, and I definitely agree with you on the dress. I can't wait to wear it on adventures this summer.

      I can't wait to see what you go! I feel like a lot of people have not been in the mood to blog this weekend, so you are not alone. It sounds like you had a fun weekend though :]

      & thanks again! I can't wait to shop some more MC.

      Yeah dude I've noticed that 4 of the main blogs I follow have been idle and "cricket-y" as well for about a week now! Must be something in the air. Haha

  27. Gorgeous. That first outfit is divine. I'm trying to patiently wait for bare legs weather this way. I'm excited! Although, I always end up missing tights halfway through the season! <3
