finds from forever.

Came across this stunning necklace at Forever 21 this afternoon.

I have an affinity for crystal necklaces and this one is fantastic! 

It looks like it's much more expensive then it actually is.

Now I have like 17 sparkly necklaces.

Sparkling Chain Fringe Necklace 

$12.80

armored collar.

Decided to post this shirt & necklace combo 

because people are always curious about where the pieces are from!

Metallic collar top from H&M - about 2 weeks ago for under $30.

Can't find it online for the life of me but it should still be available in stores.

Bib Necklace available at Forever 21. 

The shirt itself is very sheer, so you you'll need a black camisole, 

unless you don't mind a little see-through action. :)

$9.80 Spiked Bib Necklace from Forever 21

This necklace really looks much more expensive, 

people are always in disbelief when I tell them it's from Forever 21.

pink/champagne. $2.80 love & beauty from forever21 with white stripes.

southwest jacket

LOVING this coat right now. 

not super heavy though, so an under layer is probably likely when the temp drops.

wool-blend southwest jacket

forever 21: $37.80 (steal)

Aztec.

Embroidered Aztec Duffle Bag

Whilst perusing the forever 21 website I came across this adorable bag. I'm on a shopping time out so I'm not allowed to buy it, but I wanted to share. It reminds me the classic friendship bracelets. Not sure what it looks like in person, but I dig from the website.

times square xxi.

Accidentally found myself at 45th & Broadway last week and happened to walk into the new flagship forever 21. It's enormous. Over 90,000 square feet. I must say I was very impressed and it wasn't scary or claustrophobic, it was actually very well organized. I was in a hurry so I didn't spend a ton of time, but I fully intend to return. The best part is that they are open until 2am daily. awesome. Here's what I bought.

casual sweater. wintery snowflake open cardigan. $27.80

great comfy sweater for the holidays & then some. also available in cream.

Metallic skirt. I found it in silver though.

foiled leopard skirt. $10.80

cold weather colors.

I've decided to end my obsession with crazy nail art. Plus, now that it's colder out I prefer to wear really dark shades. These are my top pics for the season... Also, Refinery29 has some really great color trends to check out.

Really liking to purples...

fall sweaters.

Just picked up some great fall sweaters from Forever21... good stuff.

forever 21 sweaters: tribal boucle sweater $28.90

forever 21 sweaters: beautiful knit sweater $24.80

Also, found a really great pair of jeggings (for lack of a better term), at american eagle for $49.50. So far I love them.

clinton street nails.

A fairly recent discovery of mine in the LES are any & all nail salons on Clinton Street btw Delancey & Rivington. I've tried 3 of them out so far & I think I like Clinton Nail the best but they are closed on Sundays. fyi. Now to warn you... they are all kind of shit holes, however they are super mega cheap, they do a better job than many of the nicer places & they do those fancy ghetto nail designs (which is really the only reason for my affinity). For example, a mani/pedi runs you about $17. (bring your own polish though) Extra if you want them to use a razor on your feet and extra for designs but you can get the works for like $25. Screw the nail wraps they sell at Sephora... Here are some samples of my fancy nails.

Also, Forever 21 nailpolish is pretty legit. If you've never given it a shot I highly recommend it. It's only $2.80 & I think it's superior to OPI & Essie. Check it. www.forever21.com
