I searched high and low for this dress at Forever 21 when I was home, but never found it. By the time I tried to order it online, it was out of stock- buyer’s regret :( I mean seriously, this dress is so perfect for me! At least through polyvore I can dream about how I would wear it… Do you guys have any stories about something you wished you purchased when you had the chance?
P.S. Oh, and I changed the layout a bit! The link to my archive is now located at the top and is viewable as a separate page. What do you think about the changes?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Would it be possible to call the store and ask if they can track one down? If you're really nice, and it's at another store, they'll sometimes ship it to you or to the store. Although, perhaps with Forever 21's quick restock policy maybe not. :(
Thank you Ellen!
Oh, I am so jealous of your friend! Maybe it will come back in stock…but you're so right, I really don't neeed this dress- I just have to keep reminding myself of that!
nice dress and nice new layout. It's okay :)
Oh dear, am sorry to hear that. I did order this dress for a friend and she looks very pretty in it. I do think that it will go very nicely against your skin tone and be totally lovely on you. I have a lot of buyer's regret (or so i called it) but truthfully i don't need another top, dress or skirt for ages and everything that just slips through my fingers, I'll just comfort myself with that knowledge.
I know how it feels, The same happened to me a long time ago with a dress in Forever21 but it was in the store, i went there I saw it, was so perfect for my friend's wedding but I decided to see other options and come back next week. Next week was sold out and my friend's wedding was the next day =( I had to buy another dress in Forever 21, more expensive and not my style. I learn my lesson and that will never happen again.
XOXO
I know! :/
That dress is really pretty, it's a shame you couldn't get it!
