Outfit of the day & Matryoshka Dolls

Outfit of the day (Forever21 Animal Print shirt w/belt, $22.80), like my MESSY room? LOL.


I got these shoes at DSW for only $11! I love the chunky heel and I love CLEARANCE items! The brand is Zigi Soho...


Another unknown fact- I collect figurines and Matryoshka dolls (the porcelain, real-life looking dolls scare me), but I love these "nesting" dolls. My grandma brought one back from Russia a few years ago and ever since I have had a fascination with them. My co-worker, who is Russian got me these and they sit on my desk at work. I am in search for a 15 or 30 piece one but they are quite expensive online, so if any of you Russian beauties know where I can get one at a good price let me know!

I think my next FOTD is gonna be a Matryoshka look! :)

  2. I love those types of dolls! My grandmother gave me one when I was a child, and I thought it was so pretty. Too bad it's missing since I moved...

  6. My parents went on a cruise recently and one of their ports was St. Petersburg. They brought back Matroyoshka dolls for us and said that they were still expensive, even in Russia.

    Don't know if you're interested in some japanese inspired Matroyoshka dolls but there are some I took pictures of:
