Forever 21 Finds...

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Below is just a little taste of some Forever 21 cuteness. As always, F21 can offer up some adorable, trendy items. Sometimes these items are substantial and sometimes they are just crap.

No promises with the items in this set, but I love the juxtaposition between the lace top and the faux leather jacket, don't you? Plus, the entire outfit rings in around $100. Not bad for a trendy fall outfit!

I'd really like to see this top in person, as it looks really versatile...underneath a leather jacket, boyfriend blazer, cardigan, etc.

Which trendy items for fall do you think have staying power?

Real Life Review: Nordstroms Vigoss Ritz Jeans

The photos below are the Vigoss Ritz Jeans currently on sale at the Nordstroms anniversary sale for $35.90. I reviewed them over the weekend. As you can see they have a nice dark wash and some medium distressing. Although I didn't take any back shots, the pockets are normal and not offensive by any means.

Even though I'm a denim snob, I really love this pair. They have just enough stretch and are pretty comfy for a pair of skinny jeans. I think this pair looks great with both feminine and androgynous pieces.

What do you think? For $35.90, are they a buy for you?

Quick Trip to Nordstroms' Anniversary Sale

So, I did end up taking a quick trip to Nordstroms last night. And, I tried on the Vigoss "Ritz" skinny distressed jeans.

Now, many of you know that I am a jean fiend and I have too many pairs to count. But, these jeans are of great quality, fit very well and have a nice weight to them...so, for $35.90 I had to buy them. Just an fyi, the weight is similar to SFAMK jeans (that's Seven For All Mankind for those who are not jean freaks).

They run true-ish to size, but they are cut a bit slim. I took a 27 and they look very cute with heels. I'm still deciding if I want to have them hemmed or just leave them "bunchy". I also ended up ordering the ECI Ruffle Top shown in my set below. I won't receive the top for a few days, but I'll do my best to take some real-life photos of the jeans this weekend.

Happy Saturday!

Jean Addicts Unite...

If you're a jean fiend like I am then get excited...because both Hautelook.com and Gilt.com have jean sales today!

Hautelook is peddling William Rast (11 a.m. Eastern time) while Gilt is offering J Brand (12 noon Eastern time). These are two of my favorite jean brands...and although I'm on a jean freeze I hope some of you can buy 'em up! I love William Rast's bootcut and J Brand's skinny jeans and Love Story.

If you need an invite to either Hautelook or Gilt just look to the column right of this post, scroll down and click. Just an FYI - William Rast usually runs at least one size large, so size down when you order!

Enjoy!

Shopbop.com: Extra 25% Off ALL Sale Items, Ends Tonight

So, I went to school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and it was a rarity when I didn't pop in to Bop on my way home from class (ShopBop.com is based in Madison, WI). ShopBop.com has an insane jean selection and features an amazing designer portfolio that includes brands from Elizabeth & James to Marc Jacobs to Kooba. But, alas, many of these lovely pieces are pricey.

That's why I was delighted when I saw that ShopBop is offering 25% off all sale items. But hurry, it's only good through tonight, July 2. I perused their sale section online and there are a bunch of great jeans, dresses, shoes, bathing suits, etc. that are affordable with the additional 25% off! Just use the code EXTRA25 at checkout.

Here are just a few items that I think are great deals at ShopBop.com! Don't forget, these prices are BEFORE the additional 25% off. Feel free to click on the polyvore image below to take a look at each item and its according price. Some of the items in the set below may not have registered the sale price from the ShopBop website, so don't rely solely on the prices listed in my set...they are most likely lower online.

Enjoy!

Black or White?

With the passing of the legendary Michael Jackson, I thought it would be appropriate to offer up a little Polyvore love with the classic question, Black or White?

The white jeans you see below are Rich & Skinny, and I bought this specific pair from Bluefly.com last summer and I really like them. They run true to size, if a bit small. I took a 27 and they fit great.

If you're ever ordering items from Bluefly.com make sure you do an internet-wide search for codes. It seems as if they run a new promo code almost every week.

Which ensemble will you rock with a moonwalk, Black or White?

Happy Monday!
