The weekend is so close I can smell it. I wanted to share some news before I got into the collection and reviews. As you all know, I recently one my MBMJ Classic Q Groovee and received it on Monday and am sooo in love with it! This bag is so classic and well made. The leather is pebbled and soft. It is a heavy bag on it's own and with my kitchen sink, it can be a bit heavy to carry on my arm but bearable and the double handles do fit on my shoulder as well. Another bit of good news, is that I won another fabulous bag on ebay, the beloved Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Clutch in Harewood. It's my Spring must have and I chose this over the MBMJ Hillier simply for the color and butter soft leather. It's an amazing looking bag and I can't wait until it's in my arms. IT can be worn 5 different ways which makes it super versatile and the color is neutral and will go with anything. I think this WILL be my IT bag for Spring.
Now, onto the reviews. As you all may know, Forever 21 launched a new line, Boutique 21 a couple of months ago that was geared more towards a more vintage inspired feel. (Click my title for more details)
The initial collection didn't consist of many pieces and to be quite honest, I wasn't in love with most of it. There were a few embellished tees and sweaters but some were awkwardly cute and cropped which made them less appealing to some. They have now launched the Boutique 1 Resort Collection which debuted today and available online. I definitely did see several tops that are super cute but still find the weird cropped cardigans and it's missing more skirts and dresses. I will try and go to a forever 21 this weekend that carries this line and see IRL what things are looking like, but here's some of the items I found super cute and pretty:
Silk Flower Tunic- $32.80
Diamond Shapes Top Tunic- $17.80
Pintuck Cami- $22.80
Dancing Tulip Top-$15.80
Barely There Zip Up Cami-$17.80
Zipper Accent Canvas Jacket- $32.80
I love these patterned tunics and subtle details that make these tops cute and flirty. I also love these camis and almost bustier style tops that will work perfectly with pencil skirts, denim skirts or a flirty full skirt. I really wish the cardigans they did have in this collection, were of a normal length. All were cropped and hit at a weird place on the body. I also wish there were more skirts in this collection. There were only 2 that I saw on line and neither jumped at me. I think as time progresses and F21 sees what works for this new Boutique 21 line and what doesn't, they will modify as needed. I think it's a great addition to F21 and was happy with the addition of the Love 21 line last year. That line has come a long way to. We must remember, F21 obviously isn't somewhere we're going to buy classic pieces that last for years, but it's a nice place to find some trendy pieces for the seasons without investing a whole lot. I would love to hear if anyone visits a F21 this weekend and checks out or buys anything form this new collection. If so, please let me know.
I don't have an OOTD to post because I woke up late today and basically threw on the first thing I could grab in my closet to not be super late to work. I'll be sure to post tomorrow. Just a heads up, tomorrow, Old Navy is having 30% off the entire store! It may definitely be a sale worth checking out. I may try and pick up a few of the items on my list as well. I have to take advantage right? Have a great Friday and Happy Shopping!
