Forever 21 has decided to design for their own brand, the Exclusive Design collection, and I’m pretty excited about what I see so far. The pieces, now available exclusively at Forever 21 stores and Forever21.com, include spring inspired bold brights anchored by black, white and blue basics. Check out Forever 21′s Exclusive Design collection and let me know what you think of their introductory pieces.
The JewelMint Mumbai bracelet sold out before I became a member, but wow did it’s memory live on. The petition to bring back the oxidized silver disc bracelet by JewelMint fans couldn’t be ignored, so “it’s back” for a limited time and it’s almost sold out already! I got one quickly and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail (yes, I have been known to stalk my mailbox for JewelMint pieces lol)! New to JewelMint? Click here for an invitation or check out my JewelMint review.
From Kate Bosworth, “This bracelet has such a cool tribal feel and is a great stand alone piece. I love wearing it with denim and a chunky grey sweater or in the summer with floral prints.”
Update:JewelMint just launched their much anticipated “Bring It Back” mid-month selections. “Bring It Back” pieces are popular sold out items from past month collections that fans voted to be re-released. The pieces, shown above, are in addition to the amazing June selection.

The Breakdown
I love the collaborations Kmart is bringing to their new Spring / Summer 2011 collections including Audrina Patridge for BONGO and Selena Gomez for Dream Out Loud. Kmart has totally stepped up their affordable fashion in the past couple of years in terms of on-trend apparel, accessories, and footwear. I actually have a wishlist full of Kmart fashion!
Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez demonstrates how easy, affordable and fun it is to express your personality through feminine fashion. The collection of affordable mix-and-match fashions are ideal for Spring and beyond.

Kmart launches LYS, their “Love You Style, Love Your Size” fashion line, and this effortlessly chic collection does not disappoint. It includes a huge selection of modern apparel and all items are under $30! Skimp on price, but not on style, in this amazing LYS Spring 2011 collection!
From WorkChic.com, “Wearing conservative attire can be daunting and boring day after day. Thus, there is Casual Friday to enjoy a day of dressing in more casual and comfortable styles. It’s perhaps the best day to let your personal style shine through even more. Keep in mind though, casual attire does NOT mean donning a sloppy outfit (unless you are working in a completely relaxed environment where your appearance is of no concern).”
Check out Work Chic’s blog for outfits from several of their favorite bloggers that can easily work as casual Friday outfits. They also take requests, or if you have a favorite work look you would like to share, they’d love to hear from you.
Those of you that have followed my blog for a while now probably already know that Nicole Miller is one of my FAVORITE high-end fashion designers. Relatively speaking, her designs are much more affordable and approachable than most designs you see on the runway. I love her work so much that I wore a Nicole Miller wedding dress on my big day (as seen here and here and here lol).
