Forever 21 Pick Of The Day: Faded Skinny Jeans, $19.90

A staple in most women’s wardrobes these days is a good solid pair of skinny jeans. They look super cute with a pair of tall boots, chic flats, or even the age old converse. With spring right around the bend, what better way to spice up your casual wardrobe than with a new twist on the now classic skinny jean from Forever 21? The Faded Skinny Jeans, a mere $19.90, come in dark and black denim, and are made of cotton with a bit of spandex for a super comfy fit. Pair these with men’s inspired oxfords and a cross shoulder structured bag to complete the look.

Fall into Spring with a Faux Fur Vest (thefind.com Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

Post via thefind.com:

The best designers made faux fur vests one of the main staple outerwear pieces for their Fall 2010 collections and the world of fashionistas quickly followed suit. Fall is over but that doesn’t mean that you can’t rock the plush accessory well into those more than chilly days towards spring and beyond. Now is the best time to invest in a faux furry friend for your wardrobe! Faux fur vests are on sale as stores gear up for spring merchandise, guaranteeing that you will be getting the most bang for your buck as you snag them from Clearance racks everywhere. For those of us that live in places where the weather is absolutely unpredictable, and even for those of us those don’t, just grab some inspiration from celebrity designer Nicole Richie who lives in sunny Southern California! Exude the ultimate rocker glaml vibe by pairing your vest with dark tights, vintage t-shirts, bohemian dresses, off-shoulder tops, and more! Whether you wear it at night in place of your favorite coat or store it away for next winter, the fur trend will no doubt be making a comeback at the end of this year and with the picks below, you’ll be able to rock it right on time for only a fraction of the price others will be paying.

Fantastically faux fur finds: (From left to right) Steve Madden Faux Fur Vest available at Modcloth, Michael Kors Fur Vest, Almost Famous Faux Fur Vest available at Tilly’s , and Juicy Couture Faux Fur tie-front Vest.

La Bella Isola

by Julia DiNardo

Gosh these shoes are gorgeous! Have you ever gravitated toward something in a store that was just so intrinsically you? Like it was made specifically for you, and you alone? Well, that is how I feel about the Isola Odema Colorblocked Peep-Toe Heels, $169 , although I encourage you to get a pair as well! The color blocking is done perfectly, and although it is hard to tell from the photos, the bluish purple heel is actually inlaid, so it goes in a bit to create a very unique shape and structure that gives it a dash of avant guarde appeal. I’ve paired them with a few different lbds as they really pop against all black, but can also envision them looking sharp with skinny jeans, metallic, or a bodycon dress that matches the pink or blue exactly, like this one by Forever21.
