You Can Get with This or...

So while doing some routine online shopping, I noticed something...

Topshop skirt: $70

Forever 21 Skirt: $17.80

Similar look, very different price.  Now, there are obviously some differences between the two skirts.  The color of the Topshop skirt is a punchier, pinky-peach color while the Forever 21 skirt is a dusty pink color.  Forever 21's quality can be a bit questionable, but does that justify the vast difference in price??  I don't know.

Black is Beautiful

Vogue Italia's beauty supplement recently featured Black models Sedene Blake and Ayan Elmi.

Two things I love: 1) Vogue Italia has been making a conscious effort to diversify the world of high fashion by using models who are women of color (remember the famous "All Black" issue?) and 2) They passed on It models like Chanel and Sessilee and opted for lesser known models.

Gorgeous.  And I love that the models have dark nail polish on.  Spring/Summer tends to be filled with bright and pastel polishes.  But I simply can't abandon my darker shades just because the season has changed!

Mulberry for Target??!

So according to Louise Roe (you may recognize the name from The City) via Twitter and other sources, the British accessories brand Mulberry will be doing a handbag line for Target. This news was seriously music to my ears! I have been obsessing over their Alexa bag. This Alexa...

...was inspired by that Alexa::

I have really high hopes for this line, so I hope it's great. I missed Zac Posen for Target. I missed Jean Paul Gaultier for Target.  I missed Rodarte for Target. I will NOT be missing this one.

PS: It must be nice to have a lxury handbag named after you. Sigh...
