Hello! Last weekend I did a little window shopping in Yorkville. I love hanging out in Yorkville in the summer, the patios are full and the streets are filled with people shopping and relaxing. It was also THE perfect weather, partially cloudy, hot but not too hot.... just perfect.
Before we go into the stores I know you want to know about this outfit! I am wearing a vintage 1940s dress from Adelines Attic Vintage on Etsy. It's a beige coloured dress with a peplum shape. It also has sequins going along the front creating bows on the chest area, and also sequins on the peplum bit of the dress. I think its such a beautiful detail! I've seen pieces like this in old photographs but I've never seen one in my size until I scrolled past this one on Etsy. I'm so happy I got it because it is a 1940s dream! I of course had to pair it with a big wide rimmed hat! This is the vintage hat I got in St. Jacobs last month (You can check out that blog post here if you missed it!). As for shoes I went with these small black kitten heels with a strap at the ankle.
I went shopping with my friend Mikayla, who you guys have met numerous times! Our styles are completely different but we both love dressing up! I mean who doesn't ;) If you love the colour pink check out her instagram here!
The first store we visited was Gucci! Every time I come in here I am obsessed with the stands they use for the shoes! Its so royal and unnecessarily extra lol I love it. I want some to display my shoes in my closet. I'm tempted to find a way to make some...
The Interior is mostly pink (So you know Mikayla loved that), I personally fell in love with floral hangers and the nautical pieces! If I had the space in my closet I would find floral hangers like this! they look SOO pretty. I was tempted to use those silk lingerie hangers (Those plush one... you know what I'm talking about) I wanted to use those in my closet but they take up a lot of room compared to regular hangers... The minute I have more closet space you know I'll invest in some beautiful statement hangers. It elevates the look of the closet and the clothes inside it.... thats why I have those small busts and hat stands in my closet haha.
In the Louis Vuitton store I saw these beautiful silk scarves! I always gravitate towards silk scarves because they are a great way to add some colour and unexpected patterns to your outfits. It's harder to pull off a dress with an obnoxious pattern but a silk scarf? they all have bold patterns and colours so they are really easy to wear.
I forgot to talk about my accessories ! I paired the look with a vintage black purse, I believe its from the 1950s! And some sheer black gloves that have little hearts on them. I got these gloves from H&M YEARS ago (Probably around 2014?) from the clearance section, I think I paid $2 and I love them... but I've only worn them once. I am making a point to wear all of the items I own and I'm so happy with how these gloves look with this particular outfit. I like that the ruffles along the wrist mimic the peplum on the dress, It's a subtle detail that ties the look together.
We also went into the Chanel store but they are a but more strict about photos, but I did take this when I walked and how beautiful are those shoes! and the feathery skirt! I spend more time taking photos outside the Chanel store as you probably noticed haha.
I love going into the Prada store mainly because of the the black and white checkered floor! I LOVE checkered floors and hope to have an entry way with this exact flooring. My favourite pieces were thee knit sweaters that say Prada on them, I think they are so cute!
After a long day of window shopping we went to dinner ! We wanted to sit on a patio and have a long dinner with drinks but the places we were looking at were mostly Italian and it was a bit too warm for pasta....actually if I'm being truthful we both wanted bar food lol. So we went to Hemingways on Cumberland (Parallel to Yorkville) They have a large patio upstairs so thats where we asked to be seated. This is hands down my favourite crispy chicken sandwich ! I've had it a couple of times and its always delicious... every time I'm craving a crispy chicken sandwich this is exact sandwich I'm talking about. Highly recommend!
I forgot to mention... Yes we did go into the Dior store as well but they were also a bit strict on photographs, so we just took some outside! We also sat outside the store on one of the benches while Mikayla ate a banana bread loaf! lol
And that pretty much wraps up my day of window shopping! I had an amazing time just walking around and looking inside all of the shops! I hope you guys enjoyed this little post ! Let me know if you want to see more posts like this in the future!
