Sale: 10% Off Graphic Tees

26, Aug 2009

I seriously never knew how many graphic tees Forever 21 had until I saw their latest 10% off promo. There are a zillion to choose from! My fave is the WWF Sketched Panda Logo Tee ($15.80) because a portion of proceeds go to the World Wildlife Fund (yes, I’m a huge animal person). But there [...]

Review: Splotch Satin Dress

26, Aug 2009

Splotch Satin Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Wear It Forever
Fit: The empire waist is very flattering.  And unlike the Scribble dress, the pleated bust is roomy enough for an actual chest to fit into it. While I’m not usually a fan of elastic trims, the one that lined the back wasn’t noticalbe.
Versatility: Thanks to the color palette, this [...]

F21 It! Juicy Couture Blooming Couture Rings

26, Aug 2009

Juicy Couture’s way: Blooming Couture Rings ($88)
Forever 21’s way: Pretty Posies Ring ($3.80)

Review: Fringed Belted Top

26, Aug 2009

Fringed Belted Top ($32)
Rating: Buy it Never
Fit: It’s too short to be a dress but too long to be a flattering top. The fringe feels fine but that belt was probably the cheapest looking thing in the store.
Versatility: It’s the same price as many flapper costumes on the web. And the eggplant color is really [...]

Review: Mesh Hem Polka Dot Dress

25, Aug 2009

Mesh Hem Polka Dot Dress ($24.80)

Rating: Buy It Never
Quality: This dress has been around forever—the black and white polka dots with the exposed tulle. And this iteration isn’t any worse or any better than I’ve see. So that’s good I guess?  What I’m trying to say is this is a pretty tired, unoriginal dress. But [...]

Review: Romantic Flower Dress

25, Aug 2009

Romantic Flower Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: The dress is super short so you better have some booty shorts to wear underneath—especially since the ruffled layers make you feel like doing a flirty twirl. They did a pretty good job at lightly padding the bust but the dress does run a little bit small.
Versatility: I’ve [...]

Review: Petal Waist Sheath Dress

25, Aug 2009

Petal Waist Sheath Dress ($42)
Rating: Buy It Never
Quality: This dress is $42! In F21 dollars that’s like eight hundred dollars.  So if I’m going to pay that much at Forever 21, I kinda  start expecting to get a little more for my money.  While the material doesn’t look too cheap IRL, the fit is [...]

Review: Colorful Chiffon Plaid Dress

25, Aug 2009

Colorful Chiffon Plaid Dress (24.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Quality: I really wanted to buy this dress. The plaid print is cute, the length is perfect and its airy. Unfortunately, it has that weird padded bust F21 likes to throw on all their dresses, which made me look too bulky up top and weirdly  proportioned. Maybe on [...]
