It’s probably wrong, but the ending looks French and that’s how I would pronounce that brand in France. Just like the Nordies brand “Entier” is pronounced “Arn- tee- yay”. We need a Scandinavian YLF-er! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-51130 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:53:06 +0000 Chris 51130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the language thing - Iceland is the last Scandinavian country to use the traditional naming style. So yes, it is Leif's daughter (or dottir in Icelandic/Norwegian). But if the company was a man's it would be Leifsson.<br /> Leifsdottir is a brand owned by Urban Outfitters (who also own Anthropoligie) that they must be marketing elsewhere. So sadly, there must not be an actual Leif's daughter doing those beautiful designs! </p> <p>But I love the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-51121 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:12:36 +0000 Laura 51121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Patience, now you can call your friend's daughter "Leifsdottir" and they will think you've magically become fluent in a Scandinavian language </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-51100 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:53:04 +0000 Patience 51100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say Lafe's-daughter. I have a friend named Leif. He has Swedish heritage and pronounces it 'lafe'. Actually he has a daughter too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-51079 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:53:35 +0000 Laura 51079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My guess at pronunciation (maybe Shiny knows better since she's been to Iceland) is Leafs-daughter.</p> <p>The literal translation is "daughter of Leif." Just like Erikkson means "son of Erik."</p> <p>That's about the limit of my Scandinavian language knowledge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-51062 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:15:18 +0000 Sarah 51062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, I just ordered the dress. I think it will be longer on me than on the model. At least that's what I'm hoping. Angie, after seeing pics of my skirts over the past several weeks I'm definitely jumping on the knee-length (or slightly above) bandwagon. There are tons of cute shorter styles, but pictures don't lie, and what's best is best.<br /> One more question...how do you pronounce the name? I'd feel silly wearing a dress and not being able to pronounce the brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50975 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 03:36:07 +0000 Tanya 50975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have noticed their stuff at the beginning of the fall season and they are really cute. That first dress is amazing, I bet it would look awesome on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50951 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:18:23 +0000 Angie 50951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice brand. I've had the last skirt on my body. It was once more TOO SHORT. But you’ll gain length as you size up. Hope you have better luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50915 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:08:33 +0000 Nicole 50915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sarah, those pieces are beautiful and very much your style. I love the last skirt especially, adn the first dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50896 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:32:17 +0000 Rosie 50896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was actually thinking how fantstic that would look with a biker jacket - the juxtaposition would be really cool. It definitely would be a splurge, but it seems like the dress could really transition through seasons well. You migh get your money's worth! Plus, they always say that one nice thing you love and will wear is much better than 3 okay things you won't! Can't wait to see if you get it and love it! - Rosie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50883 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:42:20 +0000 Sarah 50883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to convince myself to do ust that, rosebudrmm. That's more than I've spent on any single one item in my entire life, other than my car and our house I think. My idea was to pair it with a biker type jacket, but I can't seem to find one yet.<br /> I think it's interesting that I like this line so much. I've never been an Anthropologie person at all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50881 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:38:25 +0000 Rosie 50881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous line! The pieces definitely seem to be in sync with your style, Sarah. That first dress is amazing and would look so great on you. Definitely give it a try before it sells out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50879 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:31:38 +0000 Maya 50879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Leifsdottir (way out of my price range though). I believe Angie bought a Leifs skirt that went on sale.</p> <p>Edit: I just realized that skirt is the one in the last picture. Duh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50869 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:22:07 +0000 marianne 50869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look! I've seen their clothes at Nordstrom and Anthropologie, and I saw quite a few of their things on sale at Anthropologie the other day. Sarah, you'd look beautiful in the first dress especially, it's very "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50850 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:19:17 +0000 Sarah 50850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks San! I'm definitely getting there. The first dress I posted is so pretty. I've seen it styled several different ways, and I think it could be worn year round.<br /> I first saw the second dress I linked to on Nordstrom.com and I thought, oh my gosh that's so beautiful. So I was intrigued and checked out the rest of the line. I'm curious if anybody has tried it. I certainly haven't heard of it before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50847 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:07:18 +0000 Anonymous 50847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bloomingdale's did a beautiful job of dressing their models with the Leifsdottir clothes without having them look like they are Hobbits. I've been very intrigued by this brand on the Nordstrom's site but they display the styles in a very different way. I have been tempted to ask Angie about Leifsdottir also because the brand is very expensive and the clothing on the Nordstrom's site is very unusual to me. I have always taken a second look at their things but have not seen them as wearable until I saw Bloomingdale's site here. The choices you have made are beautiful and I could definately see you wearing them. It seems like you are getting to know your personal style well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50833 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:01:57 +0000 Lee Hovey 50833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all gorgeous! And I heard watercolor type prints like that will be big this spring.</p> <p>Unfortunately, all very much out of my price planet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leifsdottir#post-50823 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:21:40 +0000 Sarah 50823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was cruising around Bloomingdales.com and I came across this label (looks like it's at Nordstrom and even Anthropologie as well), and fell in love instantly. Is anyone familiar with Leifsdottir? It's expensive, but the sale prices aren't horrible.<br /> I particularly like these items:<br /> <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=126036&#038;CategoryID=13875&#038;PartnerID=SHP&#038;cm_mmc=PMD-_-Froogle-_-Product_Terms-_-Leifsdottir_Women&#039;s_Cheong_San_Blossom_Silk_Dress&#038;utm_source=GoogleProduct&#038;utm_medium=organic" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....um=organic</a><br /> (I'm tempted to try this dress)</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=161369&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=126031&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=131845&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=130809&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=130810&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p>What do you think? </p>
