Isabel Marant + H&M Ruffled Silk Skirt

Remember the Isabel Marant + H&M FW13 collaboration? Remember the madness trying to get your hands on a piece, any piece? Remember that feeling of disappointment from coming out empty-handed? All those thoughts came to mind when I came across this smocked skirt from Forever 21. The similar Isabel Marant + H&M skirt, as seen on Blake Lively and Freida Pinta, retailed for $69.95. Missing out on that was a loss considering the Isabel Marant Etoile Derek silk chiffon skirt sells for $425. For only $12.80, the Forever 21 version is a total steal.

Crave or Save: Anthropologie Slouchy Bow Belt

Around this time last year, I spotted this bow belt from Anthropolgie. Although I loved it, I couldn't justify the $38 price tag so I let it go. When putting together outfits, I still find myself saying, "If only I had that belt..." Today as I was browsing online, my heart jumped when I saw a similar belt from Forever 21.  Although their version is cream not nude, I know I can still put it to good use.

Get the Look: Current/Elliott Infantry Jacket

The Current/Elliott Infantry Jacket has been seen on celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, Minka Kelly, and Hilary Duff. This is the perfect jacket to throw on when on the go. Forever 21 also makes a jacket with a similar look.

Crave or Save: Madewell Sweatshirt Dress

As a teen, I had a favorite grey heather sweatshirt that had to be peeled off me.  It's no wonder I'm lusting over Madewell's sweatshirt dresses.  I think even as a grown woman, I can possibly live in one of these.  Forever 21 has it's versions without the grown up prices.
