Summer come soon. Please?

My order from Ruche is finally here!

Pink Studio "Thora" peep toes in olive $57.99


light linen pocket dress $34.99 down from $44.99


fruity pebble flower beaded ring $20.00

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I placed this order sometime during the holidays, waited anxiously for the days to pass and when the parcel notification finally arrived, guess what? I had it lying around for more than a week, unable to find time to collect it from the post office. Bummer, I tell you. Good thing for me, sister came to the rescue and offered to help...

I know all the stuff I got are way too summery, but I couldn't risk missing out on them.

Especially the Pink Studio shoes...

This was love at first sight people!

It was also my first time ordering shoes from a brand I've never tried on before. Sure, I have ordered Chie Mihara and Camper shoes online before, but I already knew what size I take there, so there was no nail-biting involved. But in this case, I was actually too scared to try them on when I first opened the box. Turns out, I shouldn't be. They fit like a glove, and on top of that, they are super comfy too! I usually wear european size 38 or 39, and for those I ordered an american size 8, which couldn't be more perfect.

Shipping from the USA to Greece was $25, which is almost double the $13 shipping fee I paid on my order from Nasty Gal, but again remember this parcel contained shoes - definitely bulkier and heavier - so I consider it fair enough. Overall, I am very pleased by the quality (the shoes are real leather), the selection of styles and the prices over at Ruche and I totally recommend it.

The only bummer is that it's still January... No sandal-and-sun-dress-wearing for me just yet.

Oh summer, please come sooner this year!

PS: I thought it would be useful to mention that Ruche is offering a 10% discount through The Clothes Horse till the end of January. Read Rebecca's post to take advantage of it. Who knows, it might come in handy!
