Forever Frugal Friday

My sweet sister sent me over a gift card to Forever 21 that I can't wait to use.  Below are two items that I will be on the hunt for specifically and I am also looking forward to checking out the Rory Beca Collection.

I love this California Burnout Top and think it would look so cute with my Legging Jeans from the Gap and some flat boots.  I like that it isn't fitted but still has some style to it, and it helps me declare my love of California!

I am still on a quest to update my work wardrobe and I think this Tiered Scallop Edge Skirt would be the perfect addition.  I think this skirt could also be a great piece in coral for Easter!

I am hoping to come back with some great finds this weekend and I will be sure to share the goods!

Forever Frugal Friday

For spring I would like to add a lighter colored bag into my handbag collection and I think this Intrigue Leatherette Tote will do just the trick. Big enough to carry all the essentials, but light enough to wear with just about any spring outfit. Best part, is that if this puppy gets dirty, I won't feel too bad tossing once fall returns. Gotta love that!

Forever Frugal Friday - Spring Basics

This weekend is supposed to get into the 80's here in LA and I couldn't be happier. However, I was browsing my wardrobe and noticed I need to start stocking up on some Spring basics. Here are the three items I am hoping to pick up this weekend.

This Braided Trim Knit Dress is a perfect swimsuit cover up or running errands around town. Throw a cardigan over it, some leggings and flats and you can easily stay warm once the sun goes down.

This Sleeveless Drawstring Top is a fantastic piece to add to wear with any denim bottom. It's a little fancier than a T-Shirt but still casual enough for that dive bar or bonfire party.

I love navy and green together and this Striped Slub Knit Top reminds me of that darling Splendid tank I have been wanting but at a much friendly price. I would pretty much wear this with any and everything!

What spring basic can you not live without?
