And for those DARING fashionistas like myself...this Deena & Ozzy Faux Fur Hood ($48) from URBAN OUTFITTERS. Admit it, its MAJOR!


SOME GREAT GIFTS FOR UNDER $30



I love these...Deena & Ozzy Wool Lady Gloves ($24) from URBAN OUTFITTERS. These are not only super stylish but very warm! I'm sure they're much warmer than the leather ones I have. Great price too!!!

Embellished headbands are really in right now. This Metal Leaf Headband ($18) by URBAN OUTFITTERS is super fucking cute! It's very "Elvish/Lord of the Rings", I love it!!!Unfortunately I have a huge head and can't wear headbands. I envy those of you that can.


For that fancy flash girlfriend you have! This is the Cocktail Hair Clip ($28) by URBAN OUTFITTERS. I think this is fantastic and would totally wear it myself. These little clips and hats and fascinators are popping up everywhere! You should try one!


Super cute Mirrored Chains Necklace ($14.80) from FOREVER 21. This is a new spin on a regular chain necklace. I like it because it's femme and can sweeten up a plain tank super easy!

This Flower Pearl Drape Necklace ($12.80) from FOREVER 21 is very Chanel, very vintage. It can be layered with other chains or worn on it's own. The gold and the pearls are a big trend right now. The price is right too!

Lastly...a Rose Rhinestone Hinge Bracelet ($13.80) by FOREVER 21. I think this is so classy and can totally be worn alone without any other accessories.
*It also comes in silver.

ALSO... SOME GREAT GIFTS FOR UNDER $10

Cute little stocking stuffers or Secret Santa gifts.



A Heart Quilted Coin Purse ($4.80) from FOREVER 21. I like the yellow a lot, it would be easy to see in all of my black purses. I think I'll put it on my Christmas list!


Floral Comb ($9.80) by FOREVER 21


Jeweled Floral Comb ($9.80) by FOREVER 21


These look soooo adorable on the top of a messy bun. They can be worn dressy or to just give a little flash to a messy do.





Rhinestone Shield Ring & Tiered Jeweled Flower Ring (both $4.80) both by FOREVER 21. I love wearing big rings. They're especially great when you aren't big into wearing tons of accessories at once. I like them because worn alone, they stand out that much more.
*The Tiered Flower Ring also comes in gold.


Rosette Hair Clip ($5.80) & Rose Hair Clip ($3.80) both by FOREVER 21


A great little gift for someone that loves just a little fancy. I have a bunch of clips that I wear to hold my bangs back or at the base of my ponytail. One can NEVER have too many of these, in my opinion!




Great bracelets (that don't look cheap) all by FOREVER 21
1. Satin Chain Bangle Set ($6.80) - Choose this for a girlie girl with an edge!
2. Pretty Rocker Bracelet Set ($5.80) - Perfect for a girlie girl.
3. Pyramid Bangle Set ($9.80) - A scene girl would love these.
4. Studded Cuff ($6.80) - Kind of a Bohemian option.
5. Molded Linked Cuff ($5.80) - Everyone will love this one!
6. Raised Flower Bangle ($5.80) - the BEST choice for your retro friend.

OKAY...I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT! IT BETTER, IT WAS WAAAAY TIME CONSUMING!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!!!!

  1. Forever 21 is my favorite and when I found out that they have come out with a gift card, as their promo/ gift idea. I got all excited. That was a great offer that they can ever offer because they get to let their customers choose the gifts for themselves.
