Review: Tall Gladiator Heels

12, Nov 2009

Tall Gladiator Heels ($39.80)

Rating: Buy it never
Fit: Forever 21 says these shoes feature “multiple elastic straps that zip all the way up and fit super snug.” The first part is true. They do feature elastic straps, which look like stirrups lining your calves. Not so hot. At first, it was so hard to [...]

Review: Pleated Satin Mini Skirt

9, Nov 2009

Pleated Satin Mini Skirt ($15.80)

Rating: Buy it never
Fit: The satin is even crinkled in the picture shown on the website. That’s never a good sign. It means the garment is going to look cheap… which this one most certainly does.
Versatility: Don’t even bother. Get the Satin Jacquard Skirt instead for the same price [...]

Review: Belted Halter Dress

6, Nov 2009

Belted Halter Dress ($44)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: I appreciate Twelve by Twelve’s effort. I really do. From afar, and I’m talking all the way across the store, this dress looks uber chic. Then you get closer and the disappointment kicks in. But still, you want to try it on because a belted, bustier dress like [...]

Review: Boyfriend Straight Jean

27, Oct 2009

Boyfriend Straight Jean ($29.80)
Fit: Usually we don’t review jeans–there are just too many and they really fit everyone so differently. However, I hold this particular pair of jean largely responsible for all the frump that was going on when I tried on Love 21 Contemporary’s tops. I should have ran out and grabbed another pair [...]

Review: Printed Ruffled Top

15, Oct 2009

Printed Ruffled Top ($29.00)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: So this great if you really want to look like a bird of paradise. It’s probably not slutty enough for Halloween so it can be used just on normal costumey days should you have such days. The weirdest part about this dress might be the back that [...]

Review: Ruffle Front Shirt Dress

14, Oct 2009

Ruffle Front Shirt Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: This dress looks so nice and reserved on that lifeless mannequin but on an actual person such as myself, it looks more like a hot mess. At first I tired to tell myself, it must just be the awful placement of that security magnet thing (why [...]

Review: Dimensional Belted Skirt

14, Oct 2009

Dimensional Belted Skirt ($28.00)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: Never mind that the skirt was overly poofy and the belt reminded me of Avril Lavigne, who certainly isn’t my fashion icon. But my biggest issue with this skirt is why on earth would anyone want a horizontal stripe running across their butt? It’s as if [...]

Review: Side Swept Pleat Skirt

13, Oct 2009

Side Swept Pleat Skirt ($17.80)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: The word disappointed doesn’t even cut it. Jen and I have been trying to go to Pasadena so we can review Forever 21’s contemporary line, Love 21 for months now. Tired of waiting I ordered this skirt when I bought my two new pairs of booties online [...]

Review: Chiffon Pleat Wool Dress

7, Oct 2009

Chiffon Pleat Wool Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: This dress is part of Forever’s Twist collection, which has the most adorable bull dog label. I wanted to like this dress just because of the label—and because you can never have enough LBDs. But when I tried it on, something was off. It was another waist [...]

Review: Soldierette Button Vest

5, Oct 2009

Soldierette Button Vest ($22.80)
Rating: Buy it Never
Fit: Military inspired pieces can either look retro, stylish or like a costume. This vest is unfortunately the latter. The frog loop buttons make it feel cheap and if you try to wear the vest open you won’t look cool like Nina Garcia—it will look like this.
Versatility: Halloween is [...]
