A Colored Denim Fairy Tale




Once upon a time (read: back in the '80s), rainbow-hued denim reigned supreme in the closets of all fashion princesses. But then the styles changed, and colored denim was cruelly cast-out of the fashion kingdom, never to be seen or heard from again. Until, that is, some time last year when colored denim made its glorious comeback and galloped back into our hearts on the proverbial white horse - cuter and edgier and better than ever! Live happily ever after (cuz this trend is here to stay) with one of the three cheap, chic colored jean picks featured above from Forever 21. THE END

From left to right: Francine Jean, $29.80; Joy Straight Leg Denim, $29.80; Yellow Elena Denim pant, $27.80

TIP: Avoid over-accessorizing and let your colored jeans be the focal point of an outfit. If you're wearing colored skinnies, don't forget to keep it loose or voluminous on top.

Whale Tales


We looove whales (they're so cute!) and now, the world's largest mammal is showing its fashionable face (does a whale have a face?) on everything from T-shirts and belts to rings and pendants for Spring. These adorable sea creatures are in step (or stroke) with both the nature and nautical trends that are so popular right now. Think Green Peace feel-good friendly whales, not so much the foreboding great white whale of Moby Dick, and wear a whale to add a whimsical, lighthearted element to any look.
