i’ve found that boutiques intimidate me only when the staff tries to make contact with me. i suppose pretty woman forever tainted the image of boutique workers as haughty!
the pictures are wonderful, i’m happy you decided to go in ;)

SHINI. you are suppppppppppppppper pretty in that dress! love it paired with the casual black belt. YAY GO SHINI!!!

love these pieces. so intricately gorgeous.

wow.. that dress is superb on you! Lovely pics :)

their pieces look amazing!

Hi there! Your pictures are amazing, bringing all the details to attention. Love your blog! Did u get that pretty dress in the end :)

The gradually shortening layers on that red dress are stunning! They really work with the natural raw edge of the fabric instead of against it…I love the idea. Zien seems to do an amazing job layering and draping such light and delicate fabrics…I guess Polish celebs have better taste than American ones, hah.

I stopped by the Chanel boutique in Paris last summer. There were three girls outside who were proudly photographing themselves with their shopping bags. I was so envious! The store was quite congested inside, but nobody was snobby to me there. I only had a bad experience at Miu Miu, where a) the employees stared at me upon entrance but refused to greet me verbally and b) one saleslady started making fun of me with my aunt for being a ‘tourist’ when actually, the intent of my trip was never to tour Paris, but to take fashion design classes in another city. I think I’m fine with going into boutiques because I don’t care enough what the workers think about me, but it was really rude and unprofessional for that saleslady to throw her perception of me into my face.

It’s very nice to hear you’re not a haughty boutique-frequenter, in any case. This is why I love your blog!

Hah, absolutely not, that dress I tried on, which was one of the more simpler, day-time ones, was £1200! I really didn’t understand because the brand has almost no experience abroad and it’s just within Poland that it’s huge… so I didn’t understand the pricing ;)

I’m just confuzzled more the fact that the brand has almost no experience outside Poland (almost no recognition yet in world market, London NY, Hollywood…etc ) and the prices are that high. But I guess it’s a publicity price, a celebrity designer thing!

Shini…that is just absolutely STUNNING!!!! The dress is beautiful, you look so lovely wearing it and the pictures are fantastic!

These are so amazing! I was about to say ‘especially THESE pieces’ then realised you might not appreciate a run down of every piece you took a photo of…

Expensive though :/ I guess a girl can dream.

You look exceptional in the dress you’ve tried on, I also really like it with the black belt.

I love the dress you’re wearing.and the blue+tule dress too.

I’ve been looking for a graduation dress and these look so perfect… And even though I don’t pay any rent where I’m living right now (mwahaha) I still couldn’t justify spending that amount on a dress. I guess its off to Dorothy Perkins or somewhere equally high-street with my behind!

Any tips for making something very very cheap and badly made look expensive and classy?

ah..those dresses are beautiful..and i especially love the one on you….
haha..and its not exactly a surprise to know about the haute pricing..though…!!

I’m in love. The dresses are so elegant and so beautiful. Wow, I am kind of in a shock right here.
If I ever get maried I am getting married in that red dress. Ah fantastique, fantastisk.

wow, the dresses are beautiful (so delicate) – and your pictures of the dresses are even better! you look so pretty in that white/beige/nude nothingness!

i know exactly what you mean: i often also don’t feel comfortable entering one of those boutiques. especially when the store is empty and all the bored sales assistants look out of the window and at you with that “omg – this creature is not really planning to enter in here, is she???” look. but what i also discovered is, that especially those high-end designer stores (especially prada and chanel) often have such a well trained staff, they really make you feel welcome.

Lovely photos, as always! And I echo everyone who’s commented before me — you look amazing in that dress! Love that you paired it with a simple black belt.

I feel the same way toward boutiques. (Well, high-end boutiques, anyway.) There’s something about the way they’re set up inside — the clean, white lighting; the gleaming floors; the sparsely-stocked racks of beautiful clothes — that intimidates me like crazy.

seriously like an art gallery! such beautiful detail, prints, silhouettes, sigh…

Boutiques are intimidating… especially when you KNOW that you can’t even afford the hangers the clothes hang on. The dress looks lovely on you, though.

absolutely gorgeous!! and you look like pure perfection in that dress!

I love how you pair up that dress with the black belt! All the clothes looks wonderful, must check it out. You have a lovely blog.

I just couldn’t agree more with you about the haute price for such a young brand. It happens in my country as well. But I think we should consider with the worker’s cost, etc etc. In the end, who am I to judge?

Totally swooning over these dresses! They are all so intricately detailed and unique.

looks great; really liking that red simple frock in red.

I love this one about draping and choice of fabrics. Bear in mind Zien IS the one in Poland. And common, is Poland anywhere on the fashion global map?
