Wear/Where: The Lips Trend in Fashion and Home Decor

Today, it's all about paying some lip service to lips. There's something so feminine and sexy about a big ol pair of lips - Angelina Jolie knows what I'm talking about - and I'm loving this fun playful trend popping up in fashion and decor lately. I've been all over this. As long as I have my bachelorette pad, I'm taking advantage of as many girly things as possible...but let's be honest, even when I'm living with a man, the lips are going to stay.

This is  a great example of how fashion and decor are major influences on eachother. I am in love with my watercolor lips from The Aestate. I've posted about them more times than I probably should, but they are that good. Apparently Forever 21 was loving those lips too because they made a sweater looking suspiciously similar..... which I of course bought and can't wait to wear all fall.

Are you loving the lips trend? Big fat kisses to all of you xoxoxox.

My Wild Side: Leopard Pants

Took my new leopard pants out for a spin this weekend and they are my new favourite clothing item.
They are so comfortable and stylish, I may never take them off!

 I also got my lucite clutch, and am LOVING it. You can see I've already gotten some wear and tear out of it. I'm still trying to get the hang of this outfit post thing, but they are so much fun!
How do you show YOUR wild side? We've all got one...

Look For Less - Lucite Clutch

Honestly, I haven't been this excited about a fashion find in a long time. I've been covetting a lucite clutch for many months now, but the price tag of the ones I've seen made me think it was never going to happen. I even considered DIYing my own, a la Stripes and Sequins, but never got around to it.

But loves, Forever 21 has come through again with the ultimate save:

Now that's what I call a deal! (Am I the only one who things it's crazy to spend a grand on a small plastic box?...no matter how gorgeous it may be?). 
And now, some lucite clutch inspiration - because I can't get enough!

Skirt Alert

via Bittersweet Colours

I did a post in July about trying to save money for school while being tempted by the gorgeousness of the blush maxi skirt.  Thankfully, Forever21 exists and I finally got my skirt at a great price. I seriously thought about keeping this gem all to myself, but I like you all too much....

Get it while you can. Here.

French Phrase - Forever 21

J'adore all of the sweaters I've been seeing with French phrases this season, but have been holding off because the price tags have been a little on the high side.

I love this 'Bonjour' number:

 And this 'Creme de la Creme':

via Atlantic - Pacific

The price range on these sweaters were 60-120...not completely outrageous but still out of my budget, and now all sold out (except in size 8! Hurry & you can still get the 'bonjour' sweater here, and it's on sale!).
Luckily for me, Forever 21 came through once again and I just ordered this adorable sweater for less than $30!

Love the nautical feel. Get yours here.
