Forever 21 Items on my Mind

And in response to those who felt that in the previous post the Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch was stylish and perfect for the Spring but a little on the pricey side, fate has stepped in and introduced me to this number from Forever 21. Moments after publishing the post on the Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch, I ran across this Forever 21 purse on the BonBon Rose Girls blog. At $20.80 and a resemblance to a certain CÉLINE bag, what more could you ask for.

All Things Nail Polish

Love this Chanel Nail Polish Illustration by Samantha Hahn

My Essie Collection which continues to grow...

         What is your favorite nail polish color? Do you have a particular nail polish that you are looking forward to wearing for Spring? Grays and dark metallics have been dominating my nails this Winter and I'm looking to switch it up and try something completely opposite for Spring. I recently saw a picture of a lime/yellow neon shade, and think that Funky Limelight (from Essie's Neon Collection in 2009) and a light orange inspired by the Proenza Schouler campaign, as seen here, need to be added to my collection.

Screen Shots: Christian Siriano Fall 2011 Collection

Sheer skirts and tops started off Siriano's Fall 2011 Collection. The 'sheer' trend will definitely continue on through Fall.

Love these trousers.

Shoes are chic, but caused a lot of trouble on the runway. A few models stumbled and one poor thing fell straight down.

Intricate details.

Love the billowy bottom of this dress.

A touch of color

Olive dresses start coming down the runway and peak my interest.

Award Show dresses coming down the runway, and I'm loving them. 

Love at first sight!
