Forever 21 Finds

Forever 21 is known for making cheaper versions of very expensive styles. For example, look at the top below. Doesn't it look like the imfamous Britney lace dress? Though her's was worn as a dress, we can see why common people (aka non-celebs) see this as a top. The top below is the same as Britney's dress... from the length, to the neckline, the material, sleeves, etc. 

But, that's not the point of this post. The point is that every once in a while Forever 21 creates designer copies on the cheap.  

Britney dress for $22.80

Cute Little Safari dress for $22.80

Capelet Sleeve Top or Jacket for $ 37.80

I just love the capelet jacket and the safari dress!

Shopping TIP: these TWO numbers

Have these two numbers in your cell phone, and you'll save a lot of time, money and hassle while you're out there shopping for the latest fashions. 

1. The Google number- Get FREE google right on your cell phone. 

Are you looking for a particular store or a type of store, etc and don't know the area well enough?Here's the number you need--- Dial 800-GOOG-411

2. Price Check number- Have you ever been out shopping and find something that you don't necessarily know if it's a good deal? I've been in the scenario many times. But now, with this number, 888-DO-FRUCALL, you can compare prices with online retailers by typing the barcode number. 

Clothes in France

So last week, I was in Monaco and France... I must say that people there care a little bit more about fashion. The most popular shoe for women were knee-highs. And, the most popular pant were skinny jeans. 

I took some pictures of the mannequins there. 

Americans just don't care as much, it seems. We see a lot of regular t-shirts with ill fitting jeans. Some people in Monaco have a lot of $$$, and fashion was the MOST obvious there. It was hard to find a store that did NOT have Gucci.
