Forever 21 & WWF

Panda Sublimation Tee

Earlier this year, I posted about symbolically adopting a panda through the World Wildlife Fund. Now, Forever 21 has joined with the WWF and has created a line of t-shirts to help raise money and awareness about protecting nature. Through May 31, 2012, a dollar from each tee sold will go to the WWF, with a minimum contribution of $20,000. I haven't yet gone to Forever 21 to check the tees out, but I like the designs that I've seen online. I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy at least the panda tee. While Forever 21 has been getting a lot of bad press lately over copyright infringement, it is nice to see the company trying to improve their image by working for a good cause.

Forever 21 Eiffel Tower Earring Set

While I would love to take a trip to see the Eiffel Tower this summer, I am going to have to settle for the Eiffel Tower Earring Set from Forever 21. At $3.80, I can buy the set without breaking into my travel piggy bank. Pair these cute earrings with the Merrie Gossamer Slip and the Charli Platform Clog from Free People and spend the afternoon watching Paris - When It Sizzles.

Two-Finger Rings at Forever 21

If you've been wanting to try a two-finger ring, now is the time to buy one, and Forever 21 is offering several inexpensive versions. I bought the Bengal Connector Ring this weekend and want to go back and pick up some other styles.

Prom, Wedding, Graduation Oh My!

I'm finding it hard to believe that it is already April. Suddenly it's time to shop for the perfect dress to wear to prom, graduation, best friend's wedding, etc. Cocktail dresses are popping up all over the place for prom with blues and other soothing colors leading the way. While I think a short prom dress is a bit anti-climatic, a cocktail dress does make it easier to dance and you can wear it again instead of stuffing it in the back of your closet...

Wearing glasses can be a pain, but things are about to change. Over the last couple of years, glasses have been appearing on hipster faces and are becoming a key fashion accessory whether you need them to see or not. (Visit Pandora for inspiration!) Both Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 offer cute affordable styles for instant geek chic without the eye exam. If you don't mind splurging, Prism is the place to go to for handmade, unisex glasses that come in a very cool case. Should you be in the market for prescription glasses, check out Warby Parker which is not only affordable but, also, gives away a pair of glasses for every pair they sell. For those passionate about glasses, Eye Heart Glasses is an amazing blog about all sorts of eyewear. Don't know how to find the right pair? DailyCandy shows you how.

Fabulous Find at Forever 21

One of my favorite things to pick up at Forever 21 is the Basic Knit Cami for $2.50. Perfect for layering and so cheap, I feel compelled to stock up. The other day I picked up a new cami with shelf bra for only $3.50 and am totally loving it. However, I can't find that one online, so look for it in stores.

Tie Dye For

I am tired of the dull, grey winter and am eagerly looking forward to spring clothes. Proenza Schouler showcased bright colors and several tie dye looks which have me itching to try this trend.

Tie Dye by Icedivastar featuring Billabong

While not everyone has the mega bucks to drop on designer clothing, stores like Forever 21 and Free People are producing garments that pay homage to this spring look. Forever 21's Studded Dyed Tee ($19.80) and Tie Die Print Skirt ($15.80) are inexpensive ways to introduce tie dye into your wardrobe before spring arrives. Free People's We The Free Romper Dress ($29.95) is another cute addition while We Love Colors Splash Color Tights ($11) will kick up an outfit you already own.

Of course, I can't forget to mention the obvious way to introduce this trend into your wardrobe and that is to do it yourself. Grab a tee and some Rit® dye and make like it's summer camp. Paula Burch's How to Tie Dye is a good place to start.

The Look: $100 or Less

I get tired of reading magazine articles that claim to put together a look for under $100 when what they really mean is that each piece costs less than $100. Today I made it my mission to create an entire look for $100 or less, and thanks to Forever 21, my mission is accomplished.

Marilyn Contrast Plaid Coat, $34.80

Sequin Striped Dress, $24.80

Crackled Metallic Flats, $18.80

Droplet Jewel Earrings, $7.80

Sequin Sparkle Clutch, $13.80

Grand Total = $100

Get the Look of Etro

For Fall 2009, Veronica Etro showcased looks inspired by the Byzantium and Ottoman Empires. I call it 1940's tribal wear for the woman on the go.

To get this look, layer a a cardigan over a blouse and cinch in the waist with a belt. Pull on a strait or A-line skirt and a cute pair of booties or peep-toe shoes and finish the look with a wool jacket. This look is easy to pull together and the layering makes it perfect for the changing of the seasons.
