Trendy for now
Studded Spike Heels ($28.80) This type of shoe has been around since the Sex and the City movie. The studs make it still trendy but since the style is already kinda played out you’re not going to want these shoes past fall.

Suedette Ankle Boot ($27.80) We’re not into booties but these are cute—in both colors. They’re hard as a rock but a Dr. Scholl’s pad fixes that. They’re no Manolos, they’re not even Guess quality but they’re cute. We (Sydne) even ordered a pair after they didn’t carry a size 7 in the store.

Carlita Lace Up Bootie ($18.80) The black looks a little like a witch shoe but we love the camel, which is incorrectly called brown online. Wear them with knee socks or navy tights. Supercute for fall.

Wear it Forever
Zebra Rain Boots ($29.80) It’s pretty hard to mess up a rain boot.

But it maybe
Lattice Platform Bootie ($22.80) They’re not super comfortable, but neither are the Steve Madden ones that are very similar. They look way better on than they do on the shelf.

Grandee Oxford Pumps ($22.80) They looked okay but the patent leather was so stiff that it hurt to walk across the store.

Buy it never
Suedette Ankle Boot ($32.80) Hideous. There’s no reason to buy these when you have the other Suedette Ankle Boots, which are way cuter and $5 cheaper.

Walking Bootie Heel ($22.80) Neither one of us could get our feet in this thing. It’s so stiff you can’t even loosen the laces. Plus, it’s just another witch shoe and anything too pointy is an instant turnoff for guys—if you care.

Erin Sequin Pump ($19.80) We didn’t even both trying these on because the sequins looked like something Paris Hilton threw up.

Sydne already narrowed down her top three statement necklaces, now it’s my turn.

1. Mixed Flower Pearl Necklace ($15.80)
This one is just so much fun and I’m always into anything that looks like some crazy old lady might wear it, so total win. Unfortunately, the bright springy colors won’t take you very far into fall, as that gets started pretty soon, so grab it now.

2. Bar Scale Necklace ($14.80)
Inspired by Nicole Richie’s line of jewelry, this necklace is so versatile (it can be worn day or night, with something super dressy or something super bohemian), really good F21 quality and trendy in a good way. How could I not recommend it?

3. Flattened Floral Necklace ($5.80)
Mostly I love how well this necklace can be worn with just a plain old shirt and make it look like you thought about it more.

After trying on jewelry with Jennifer for nearly an hour in ForLove21 (Forever 21’s accessories-only store), I finally narrowed down all the statement necklaces into my three faves:

Most Versatile
Stone Drape Necklace ($13.80)
Already own it, love it and wear it all the time.

Most Classic
Jeweled Net Necklace ($8.80)
It better be there when we go back to the store next week!

Most Original
Crystal Mesh Necklace ($5.80)
It might not be so unique to me in a month or two but at that price, who cares?
