fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: same as below! =)

I'm inlove with neutrals, aren't you?! lol.

Loves it...so fresh looking, so spring, so now!~*

In case you weren't able to spend your hard earned cash into the pricier labels, (not all of us can afford BCBG or BEBE even Marciano!) Forever 21 offers a wide selection of pretty in pink neutrals that will complete your wardrobe essentials for spring and summer!

For the most part, neutrals are a great way to brighten up a dark, chilly wardrobe of winter.  It's like someone cracked a window open and all the sunlight has come in, a ray of light (a la madonna lol).

If you notice that I always recommend alot of clothes from Forever 21, it's affordable and good quality for the price you pay.  If labels aren't your thing but you'd still like to look nice, this store is for you.  Of course there are other stores such as Sirens, and Urban Behavior even Costa Blanca, but quality-wise, they don't beat Forever 21.

So here are some of my fave Forever 21 neutral picks for spring/summer 2010:

Beaded Crepe Chiffon Dress

Notice the intricate beading and the lovely chiffon pink fabric used for the dress.  It's a beautiful alternative to a LBD standard for receptions and garden parties for spring and summer.  This dress reminds me of a flapper dress from way back, when dresses were more intricate, with the fringes and beading, you'll certainly be the belle of the party!

Blissful Woven Top $33.80(CDN)

Peasant tops are so cute during summer.  They are so light and airy looking and the lace adds that extra feminine touch to it.  This top, in my opinion can go from day to night and can be dressed up either way, depending on your occasion!

It can be paired with a pair of white shorts, or jeans to make a casual chic daytime look or a pair of white skinny pants or cropped pants to give that casual date night chic elegance.

Crochet Embodied Skirt.

It's kinda like a doily at first glance, but it's such a cute boho-chic skirt! I love how it's got the intricate patterned weave to it (a trend for spring, hint hint!)  If you are one of those ladies that just adore the boho chic styles of summer, I'd say this is a must for your new wardrobe!

Lace Brocade Tunic $29.80(CDN)

I absolutely adore this tunic. If you've seen 'Georgia Rule', you'll see in the beginning episode that Lindsay Lohan's character is wearing this adorable summer frock while walking along the side of a deserted road lol.  As memorable as that movie was, the dress itself caught my eye.  In the spring and summer months when everyone is trying to bring out their true colours, and wear the summer brights, i always gravitate to the whites.  I love the crisp clean look of it.  Much like the character's dress in the movie, this tunic looks uber adorable as a summertime outfit.  If you'd like to transition this into a night time look, a simple wedge in an earthy tone and a shawl will do!

Patent Peeptoe - Aren't these just the cutest? It reminds me of the 80s movie I loved as a young teen, 'Pretty in Pink'.  Molly Ringwald was such a rebel in pink! These were more from Forever 21's Prom collection.  It only came in sizes 6-11 i believe, so I'm pretty much out of luck lol.  For those of you looking to accent your summer whites and neutrals, pink is a hot contrast without the dark tones of yester-season lol.  It's almost like the red of summer, a nice punch of pastel with neutrals.  I've got a similar pair of pink patents, though mine came from Nine West =) luv'em!
Okay, so 'these are just a few of my favourite things'...lol joking! If you've watched 'Sound of Music' you'd understand! haha. In all seriousness, these are just a few things i've perused online at Forever 21.  I chose Forever 21 as a key place to shop because they offer pretty good prices for what you'd sometimes find for more than $100 at other stores.

If you're in Canada (or certain parts of US) you can always check out Sirens, Costa Blanca or Urban Behavior for comparison shopping...I always find lots of goodies there too! =)
