A few months ago, I was given the opportunity to review Fabletics workout apparel (HERE) and I loved it. Now that spring is here, this stylish and affordable fitness line has some new things to offer and I was excited to review these as well!

I had never been certain about the romper look in the past. I loved the idea of their uniqueness and playful vibe. But I was never sure if I could actually pull one off, and it didn’t help when people (males in particular) would express openly that they were not a fan of the trend. So, I would hang it back up on the store rack with remorse and feel sad that I couldn’t take the risk. Rompers have been one of those fashion trends that women either love or hate, embrace or cringe at the sight of them.

However, on a recent trip to Forever21, I found a romper with a pattern I fell in love with. I took it into the dressing room, put it on and was surprised at how much I adored it. So then I thought, “Who cares what other people think?” What matters is that I like it. Any Budget Babe and fashionista knows that this is true about any piece that might be slightly “out there,” whether it be clothing, a bag, or jewelry. It’s all about how you wear it! So if you have yet to brave a romper, I challenge you to give it another try with one of these cute options I’ve rounded up for you!

Big news dropped this weekend: H&M announced that their next designer collaboration will be with New York designer Alexander Wang!! The collection will feature apparel and accessories for both men and women, and will hit around 250 stores worldwide and online November 6th, 2014. I hope there's a bag in the H&M collection that pays homage to the iconic "Rocco" bag - and if there is, it will go lightning fast and be incredibly hard to resist. I often see things at H&M that feel inspired by Alexander Wang already, which leads me to believe that some of Wang's signature elements - edgy jackets, drapey jersey tees and rounded shoulders - will translate well to this budget-fashion line. No doubt about it, the fashion world will go wild for this collab. Will you?
