Cheap Wonder: Forever21 H81 Double Stiched Skinny Jean

Alrighty...so many of you may recall that I am a self-confessed jean snob. Not only do I own waaaay too many pairs of jeans, but also about 80% of them are "designer" jeans (i.e. Rock & Republic, Seven for All Mankind, Joe's, James, True Religion etc.)

So, imagine my suprise when I found an incredible pair of skinny black jeans that look and feel amazing...for less than $25. Boo ya!

Let me introduce you to the Forever21 H81 Double Stitched Skinny Jeans. At $24.90 these little wonders are light weight, have plenty of stretch and to my delight, look more like pants than jeans.

I had these hemmed to ankle length, not to show my lack of cankles, but instead to emulate that Audrey Hepburn vibe. I went with a size 27, as Forever21 clothing usually runs on the small side. They fit quite well, as they have a good amount of stretch in them. I probably could have sized down to 26 considering the stretch, but I prefer to breath comfortably while wearing my pants. I'll try to get a real life photo to share in the coming days...until then...

Any cheap wonders to share?

Currently Craving: Tall, Flat, Suede, Gray Boots

Oh boot love...

I'm been searching for that perfect pair of over-the-knee, flat gray suede boots. After searching this weekend I found quite a few! Below is my polyvore set that unearths my craving. I think these boots would look a-mazing with skinny jeans or over leggings with a cute tunic. I'm really diggin' the Chinese Laundry Turbo boots in Gray Suede. We'll see if they soon make their way into my closet!

What do you think? Any current cravings worth sharing?

WTF Friday: AnnaLynne McCord...Again

Oh AnnaLynne...oops you did it again. Although you're not sporting pirate gear this time around, you instead choose the crazed-Barbie look. Now, readers, I like AnnaLynne...I think she's lovely...but her stylist needs to be fired. The Alice and Olivia dress is actually cute, but too short on her, as we don't want a flashing Britney moment circa 2007. The styling screams prom gone wrong...or even one of those "cigar, cigarette" ladies from the 20s.

As for the accessories, I like black and pink. However, I am not diggin' the Little House on the Prairie curls and the menacing choker. WTF AnnaLynne? The dress and the shoes had potential, but with the whole ensemble put together, you look like a hot mess.

Any WTF Fridays to contribute?
