One Dress, Two Outfits for Two Seasons (BOTH for Under $135)

Now that it's February we're embarking on transitional fashion territory. It's still too chilly for open-toed shoes and mini skirts, but with a bit of strategic layering you can start to bring  a little spring into your wardrobe.

Here's one Forever21 coral dress two ways - one layered look to wear now and a hot summer ensemble for later. The best part? You're not over spending for anything, and you can incorporate pieces you already have to create even more outfits!

If You Don't Already Love Forever21, You Will Now

Every chance I get I shout from the rooftops how much I love Forever21. They always stay trendy, their stock's ever-changing, and they always manage to keep me on budget (which is sometimes hard to do). Well I'm about to give all you non-believers one BIG reason to fall in love with Forever21.

One of my favorite blogs from Glamour alerted me that Alex & Chloe is collaborating with Forever 21 on a jewelry line that's all under $20. Exciting, right?!

Alex & Chloe can retail for as much as $2,500 and gets celebrity praise from the iconic Kate Moss. The line draws inspiration from punk and goth influences (spikes, crosses, studs...that sort of thing). The best part is that the Alex & Chloe pieces will be a bit heavier than normal Forever21 jewelry, so it could pass for something much more expensive than just $20.

Mark your calendars, Alex & Chloe hits Forever21 stores and online on Dec. 2!

Here are a few pieces from the Alex & Chloe winter collection:

Target's Big Missoni Miss

There's no shortage of buzz on the premier of Missoni for Target this week. But some of the latest buzz has anxiously waiting people going from excited to enraged.

For those fortunate enough to have ravaged Target's website before the early morning crash on Tuesday, their orders may be delayed another month or cancelled altogether.

According to the New York Daily News, thousands of Target consumers were sent an alarming message on Friday regarding their purchases. Not only would their shipments be delayed by at least a month, but they were also met with possible cancellation, so says the line buried at the end of the email, "If we can't deliver your item(s) by this new estimated delivery date, we will automatically cancel your order."

There is a process for customers to go into their accounts to approve a later delivey date for their orders.

On top of this problem, there's also word on the street that Target won't be re-stocking the Missoni line at all. All of us eagerly waiting people who had other things to do on Tuesday may just be missing out, period! According to Target, we were supposed to be able to purchase the line for another month, however they were met with, "unprecedented demand, both in stores and online."

There hasn't been official word from Target on whether the line will be re-stocked.

You could still grab some Missoni, but it'll cost you! Auctions have been on eBay all week with starting prices at double or triple the original. You could also venture on CraigsList, but the price gouging is the same. 

Those Forever21 Missoni look-alikes aren't looking so bad now, huh?

Did you have a chance to grab Missoni in stores or online? What do you think of Missoni's misfire?

Look Twice It's NOT Missoni (But It IS Under $25)

I know thousands of women across the country are waiting impatiently (like me)  for the Missoni for Target stock to be refilled. I don't have a date for when the marvelous zigzag patterns will be replenished, but I DO have an alternative for you.

While perusing Forever21 for my Celeb Steals I noticed a similar pattern...a colorful zigzag pattern at that. I didn't think anything of it until this morning when I noticed more than half a dozen different pieces with this same pattern.

Compare these pieces to Missoni, and try telling me you don't see a similarity.

NOT Missoni





I'm cooling my heels waiting on the re-stock for Missoni, but these Forever21 pieces may be just the thing to tide me over until it happens.

What do you think of Forever21's Missoni-esque items? Would you buy any of these just for the Missoni look?
