Thank you, Kathy!!

I arrived home from practice yesterday afternoon to find a yellow Forever 21 package on my kitchen table. I was kind of scared at first, as I hadn't ordered anything from them, and my thoughts immediately jumped to the article I read yesterday morning about identity theft.

Never fear, though, as soon as I ripped into the parcel, I was delighted to find a Love 21 Windowpane Sheen Skirt inside. Considering the not-so-great day I had, this was just the thing to restore the smile to my face. YOU'RE THE BEST, KATHY! I'm planning to wear it tomorrow for a project presentation and I can't wait to show it off to all my friends.  

It's so pretty! I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

On another note, though, I have some exciting news:

My friend Chan-Chan, who is a headband conessoir, has agreed to let me write about her and her FABULOUS collection. It should be ready for press sometime in the next week or so, so definitely keep an eye out for that. 

Tommorow's Friday!

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit!

Happy December!!

When I was in 6th grade, my history teacher, who was a bit of a freak to begin with, wore head-to-toe sparkles on December 1st. Actually, that's a lie. She wore sequin leggings with a Christmas sweater. No joke. And sparkly shoes with a sequin headband with a bow. I kid you not.

In honor of Ms. Hite, today's post is all about Christmas sparkle... The right way.

My friend Les has a pair of pink sparkly TOMS, and I think they're so cute. I love the gold ones, too, though... Perfect for holiday parties!

These are Kate Spade... Ooh, aah.

These Forever 21 headbands are simple, but still sparkly!

I can't say I'm crazy about the color of this F21 bag, but I love the zig-zag sequins!

These flats from Charlotte Russe would be perfect with an LBD.

This J. Crew glitter belt would look really great with a red skirt and simple white blouse for a holiday party!

J. Crew's sequin skirt would be equally sparkly and festive with a black turtleneck.

Happy Wednesday!

Falling in love with Love 21

Hello there! I apologize profusely for my recent absence from the blogging circuit... It's just been a crazy couple of days! 

This weekend was nice, I got a lot of work done (not as much as I should've, but a lot all the same) and spent some quality time with my family.

Today, I just wanted to share with you a little gem that I found while searching for tights on Forever21.com the other day... You ready?

Well, it's called Love 21,and it's practically my own personal Mecca. You know those times when you go into Forever 21 hoping to find, oh I don't know, a cute sweater dress or a nice skirt to wear to a party and all you can seem to find is clubwear, leather pants and stripper heels? Not anymore.

Ladies, here's what Forever 21 has to say about Love: 

"Love 21 offers a more sophisticated, modest fit than Forever 21."

HALLELUJAH! Preppy girls everywhere, I'm sure, are rejoicing with me as I look through page after page of appropriate, yet still youthful clothing. I LOVE IT!

Here are a several pieces that I may just have to add to my closet ASAP:

 

Adorable, right? Okay, so the colors are a little drab on a lot of their stuff, but that's nothing that a bright top and a great pair of shoes can't fix.

Some of the tops even looked a bit J. Crew-ish to me... You think?

The tops didn't catch my eye as much as the skirts and dresses did, but some of them are definitely cute. I think I might have to head over to Forever 21 and check it out... Or, just order online. That second skirt would be perfect for a holiday party! 

So, ladies, let's review: appropriate, [borderline] school-dress-code-compliant, adorable clothing at the oh-so-low prices that Forever 21 has become famous for. What's not to love??

Happy shopping!

xoxo,

Bee
