My Recent Obsession: F21 Bats & Cats Collection

Studded Batman™ Sweater, $27.80 & F6054 Round Wings Sunglasses, $5.80, both Forever21. 

I was surfing through Forever21's website when I stumbled upon their new Bats & Cats Collection, a fun assortment of edgy Batman and Catwoman inspired clothing and accessories. 

There are so many things I love about this collection. 

1. Alright, don't even get me started on the hair and makeup. It is perfection. I am completely and utterly obsessed with this model's bright blonde hair and deep burgundy lips. Her flicked out eyeliner fits the Catwoman inspiration to a T. I think I'm going to have to give this look a try for fall.

2. The abundance of studs and graphic prints - I don't know what it is but I am loving the prints and patterns in this collection. They're bold and edgy and the studs just amplify the rocker vibe.

3. The accessories are great statement pieces on their own. If you don't want a full on batty or catty look this collection has interesting pieces of jewelry, cool headpieces, and hats that will add a tiny touch of superhero or villain kapow! to your look.

My Recent Obsession: Alex and Ani Wrap Bracelets

I have briefly talked about my love for Alex and Ani bangles and now I am obsessed with a new product of theirs. Lately, I have been obsessed with these lovely wrap bracelets. 

Alex and Ani Wrap Bracelet 

These gorgeous wrap bracelets come in two different styles, the "Heart Wrap" and the "Love Wrap". Both versions come in Russian Silver and Russian Gold. What I love most about these bracelets is the spectacular detail. Both are unique and like nothing I've ever seen. For only $48 these bracelets would be a perfect gift for your valentine (or yourself!). Purchase the "Love Wrap" right here and the "Heart Wrap" here.

My Recent Obsession: Karmin, Rachel Zoe, and Coach

I was scrolling through Twitter the other day when I saw a tweet from Rachel Zoe saying how awesome it was to style Karmin for Coach. "Wait, what?" I asked myself (if you follow me then you know how much I love Karmin). I read further and found out that my favorite stylist was styling one of my favorite bands for a music video recorded exclusively for Coach. I knew that the outcome of this amazing mixture had to be as Rachel Zoe would say, "maj"! Soon enough I found myself watching Karmin's "Sleigh Ride" music video on repeat. As you've probably guessed the styling was awesome. So, I've decided to help you guys achieve a few of Amy and Nick's looks from the video for less.

How to get Amy's look:




 

Forever 21  beanie $4, Target watch $15, Nordstrom scarf $39, Kohl's turtleneck on sale for $40.60, Forever21 sunglasses $5.80, Charlotte Russe boots $45.50



In the "Sleigh Ride" video Amy was styled in a series of winter-ready outfits by the fabulous stylist, Rachel Zoe. My favorite piece she wears in the video is an orange knit hat which sells on Coach's website for $128. I found a much cheaper alternative for only $4 on forever21.com which looks pretty similar to the Coach version. Throughout the video Amy also rocks a pair of awesome knee-high black boots. I thought that these ones from Charlotte Russe were just as cool for only $45.50. I also thought that the houndstooth cape that Amy wore was very chic.

How to get Nick's look:

 

 

Target sweater $69.99, Express scarf $49.90, H&M hat $17.95, Forever21 trapper hat $9.90

 

 

In the "Sleigh Ride" video Nick's outfits are just as fashion-forward as Amy's. He absolutely rocks a furry trapper hat (I found an inexpensive look alike on forever21.com). My favorite look of his in the video was when he wore a navy blue cardigan with a striped scarf and felt fedora. I found a similar sweater from the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection by rag & bone for $69.99. The brown leather jacket Nick wore was also very nice.

 

Needless to say, all of the outfits styled by Rachel Zoe in this music video were both chic and perfect for the winter. Amy and Nick both looked wonderful dressed all in Coach. What a great collaboration!

My Recent Obsession: Dollhouse Denim Jacket

In the fall of last year I made an impulse buy. I purchased a distressed studded denim jacket from Macy's by the brand Dollhouse. The reason for this impulse buy? It was on clearance. For $10. So of course being the person I am, I bought the jacket for back-to-school. I never wore it. Then this month I rediscovered it in the back of my closet and that is when my love for this jacket began. Ever since then I have been wearing it all the time with just about anything from floral scarves and flowy tops to v-necks with brown combat boots. I am obsessed. It has become totally worth the $10 I spent.

The lovely jacket in all its glory.

My Recent Obsession: Pink for Covergirl

Covergirl has always been one of my favorite makeup brands. The prices are great and the quality is even better. Their foundation never breaks me out and their lipsticks always add a stylish pop of color to my everyday makeup look. When Taylor Swift first became a Covergirl I was very excited. I thought it was awesome how the famous makeup brand had chosen a young popular starlet to be the face of their new line, Nature Luxe. But then, when I found out that the super talented Pink was going to be a Covergirl I could not wait to see the ads in my magazines! Now they are out and I have fallen in love with the makeup look she is wearing and cannot wait to try it out. I am happy to see that the edgy songstress is going to represent the brand. The new photos are edgy, modern, and girly at the same time. I hope that this brand continues to keep their Covergirls as cool and down to earth as Pink. Nice choice Covergirl! Rock it out Pink!

My Recent Obsession: Coco Rocha in Diesel Fall 2012 Campaign

Diesel isn't a brand that I usually follow but recently while reading the August issue of InStyle magazine I came across the Diesel Fall 2012 ad campaign. This campaign features the lovely Coco Rocha whom I happen to be a huge fan of. I loved everything about the campaign images by Steven Meisel. The edgy styling was amazing. Everything was perfect from the cuffed distressed jeans to the menswear inspiration. The shoes are to die for and the studded belt and fabulous blazer are pieces I wish were in my closet right now. I am also in love with the hair, makeup (that red lip completes the whole look), and nails. Overall best campaign images I've seen in a while. They will certainly serve as inspiration as I shop for back-to-school. I may have just found a new brand to watch out for every time I open up a magazine.

Tell me what you think about the styling in a comment.
