Neiman Marcus + Target Haul

This is what happens every Friday evening. I rush the boys off to sleep at about 7.30pm. Mick has poker and he goes about 7.10pm or thereabouts. If the boys are not jumping and yelling at each other. I turn on my work computer .. for some reason I always seem to have one or two deadlines on a Friday. Anyway I send that off and boomtish, I start browsing stuff.

So I came across Aidan Mattox somewhere and I start browsing through eBay, google search... you know the usual. Tonight I ended up on the old faithful - Neiman Marcus. Thank you NM you have delivered again.
I always click "Sale" straight up -> who doesn't? And there was a section called "Target + Neiman Marcus". Ok wait what? It's on sale?

So my enablers on Twitter told me I had to buy them. This is what I got in the sale. I am blogging now because I know how bad/unreliable I am on outfit posts. Here they are!!

NM + Target Robert Rodriguez Dress
 
NM + Target Sequined Cape

NM + Target Watercolor Dress
I realise I have used American spelling in the captions, I am following NM's descriptions. Now don't fall off your chairs. The dresses were $30 each and the cape was $24. I do not know why I bought a cape. I mean.. really.. a cape. But I rationalised it as postage saving. Buying an additional item cost the same for shipping. I also wanted the Marc Jacobs scarf but they will not ship to Australia. There is also a Derek Lam skateboard that D would like. How dare they not ship that to Australia!

There you go.. this is what I do on Friday evenings. Yay or Nay? Also is that Watercolor (sic) dress an ugly mullet dress? For $30 + $7/8 shipping I will endure humiliation of wearing a mullet dress.

  1. Awesome!! You know you can get your stash delivered to your nearest Target for free and then you pick it up the next time you go shopping? :D That saves on shipping too, ehe.

    I love all of the things you bought here and that price is just unbeatable! That last dress is so not a mullet dress, the back isn't long enough. This is just a plain old asymmetrical hem ;)

    1. Hey Demi, I knew that you would appreciate. But these are US Target and US Neiman Marcus. Couldn't get a Marc Jacobs scarf included in the order either and I didn't bother to use parcel fwd. $20 shipping via DHL is ace.

  2. I love them all and the colour of the dress is divine! Well done you on snapping up such a great bargain. I've been wanting a cape for a few years now too!

  3. I like the watercolour dress! It's not mullet...its just...asymmetric haha! Also you're making me really want to go on the NM site now and browse, but no I have to be good. I waste enough time as it is on online shopping sites seeing all the things I could buy, even putting them in my basket then realising no I don't need them. Saves me money, but also in the process wastes me hours of my time.

    Also, I like that they use asian models! :)

    1. I noticed that they used Asian models as well :) I bet the strapless dress would fall off hhahaha I need to put straps in. No boobs = no holding dress up. I always put stuff in my cart then don't checkout. Story of my life!

  5. Gorgeous dresses! Sometimes I can justify the strangest items, often ones I don't need, just to save on postage... but that cape is quite cute!

  8. Agree with everyone else, the hemline of the last dress is fine - I have seen a lot worse mullet-looking dresses haha. Can't wait to see the cape feature in a future post hehe, and the first dress is a classic winner xx

    1. No Capes.. No Capes! Channeling Edna from Incredibles. LOL
      I reckon that dress would need straps put in (boobless).

  9. I want to see these on you when you have them! I heard that the sales weren't so good for the NM/Target collaboration. There were a pair of long gloves (Brian Atwood I believe) which were sold out and I wanted them.
