4 Spring Trends To Try

Smith Button-Front Denim Bustier

1. Bustier Top

Bustier tops have notoriously been known for being a little risque, but when paired with complimentary pieces, they have the ability to make an outfit ultra chic. Pair them with a high skirt for a spring day or shorts for an indie music festival. Denim is a classic piece that goes with just about everything and the same holds true for this denim bustier top.

Ring In The New Year With These Dresses

Anytime alcohol is combined with evening wear, there is a chance of something going wrong. Your biggest concern should not be what you will be wearing the night of New Year’s Eve, but it should be to make sure that the dress is intact and shines throughout the entire night. We all know my personal stance on how alcohol can ruin a decent dress by making you look like a mess so I hope all of you will keep that in mind when you go out this holiday. And remember, the best accessory to wear with your dress is your confidence. A classy lady who knows how to have a good time without being too schwasted is a girl that will turn heads.

Mistaken for Missoni

Today, my advisor had mistaken my Forever 21 shift dress for a piece from the Missoni for Target collection. Compliment.

First, let us commend him for even making that assumption because most people would definitely not be able to tell.

Secondly, I am proud to own a $20 some dress that looks like it could be worth hundreds of dollars. Who wouldn’t?

Forever 21 has always had a little bit of an issue for ripping off other designers and while that doesn’t always sit well with me, there’s no denying that they are good at it.

Earlier this month, retailer Forever 21 tried to take down blogger Rachel Kane of WTForever 21 by hitting her with a bunch of nonsense that includes dilution and infringement on various levels. Turns out, Forever 21 didn’t really have much of a case anyways and failed to respond to Rachel meaning she’s basically off the hook. How did she celebrate her return to the blog? By writing a new post and not holding anything back of course.

You go Rachel!

100% for Japan

It is not too late to contribute to the Japan Relief. This past week I was able to donate to the Red Cross, and while I understand that not everyone is able to contribute the same way, there are many opportunities to give back. If shopping is your thing, take advantage of this great promo by Forever21. Today, every dollar spent at their online store will go directly towards the earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan. Start shopping!
