Forever 21 Pick of the Day: Trunks Up Ring & Resting Elephant Ring, $3.80 each
As a kid, I loved elephants: I loved riding them whenever I visited Thailand, I loved watching them munch bananas, and I loved the gray elephant stuffed toy I had bought as a souvenir in Thailand.Now slightly past the age of stuffed animals, I think I need a replacement. This Trunks Up Ring, $3.80, maybe? Adorned with rhinestones, this polished metal ring is both posh and exotic. But if it isn’t your cup of tea, Forever 21 offers an alternative to all elephant lovers out there: the Resting Elephant Ring, also $3.80. Embellished with rhinestones like the former ring, this second option is by no means the lesser of the two; featuring a gold resting elephant, this ring certainly has a touch of foreign royalty mixed with whimsy. You may not love elephants as much as I do, but these elephant rings can be our common, chic ground.

Where the Wild Things Are: Unique by Topshop
[Images via Style.com]
If the knitwear, fuzzy fur, and animal prints aren’t enough of a hint, a runway enveloped with fall leaves and adorned with tree branches, along with head ornaments along the lines of antlers, should be screaming Unique‘s vision to you: amidst the wilderness emerges a female hunter, raised amongst the deer, befriended by the wolves. Well, perhaps that was the work of my imagination, but this timely fall collection is indeed somewhat a call to the wild, with knits, bulky jackets, long sweaters, fur-trimmed leather jackets and white shirts printed with pictures of foxes and such. But Unique’s isn’t just a woman of the wild; she is also a hunter, it seems, or a scout, a soldier. Also present this season were military suits, badges and blazers. She isn’t entirely masculine or feral either – returning to her femininity as she throws on sheer dresses beneath her long jackets and fur. It will be interesting to see how the fans translate such savageness into high street-appropriate chic come this next winter.
