The Look for Less: J.Crew Jeweled Sweater

Remember J.Crew's jeweled sweatshirt? I featured a few looks for less earlier in this post, and today I spotted two more lookalikes at Kohl's that are worth sharing. Here's the J.Crew style once again (they've done a couple versions, this one's $98):



And here's a jeweled sweatshirt by Apt. 9, just $19.80 (down from $44, also available in blush pink):



Here's a photo I snapped in the store to show you what it looks like in real life:

And here's a jeweled sweatshirt by ELLE, just $27 (down from $54) available in black, white or gray at kohls.com:



I would have scooped these up in a heartbeat but I can't wear anything with little beads and rhinestones all over it because I'm constantly carrying my little one and he'd either get scratched or try to eat it LOL.

But you! You should get one. Or both! Happy Shopping.

Isabel Marant for H&M Lookalikes at Forever 21


Forever 21 gets inspired by Isabel Marant

While browsing Forever 21's Cyber Monday deals (which, surprise, surprise, are still going on today), I noticed a bunch of Southwest-inspired pieces that looked a lot like a certain budget-designer collab that H&M put out not too long ago, namely the Isabel Marant pour H&M collection. A quick Google search confirmed that I was not alone in my suspicions (and actually quite late to the party - back on November 22, SheFinds.com reported that Forever 21 had "ripped off" the Isabel Marant for H&M line, even going so far as to launch a Bohemian-themed collection on the same day). This isn't the first time a budget-friendly collab has been knocked off, and it certainly won't be the last. I can't say I wasn't excited by my Forever 21 finds seeing as how I thought the H&M collection was way too expensive and didn't end up purchasing anything from the line.

In case you forgot, here's what the Isabel Marant for H&M collection looked like:
