Forever 21 Holiday '13 Collection Preview

Tuesday night I had the opportunity to check out the Forever 21 Holiday 2013 preview in Soho and I am happy to report I was not disappointed. Consisting of fearless trendy must-haves and gorgeous accessories, the collection has a global vibe fused with your polished, contemporary girl. Overall the new holiday collection is exceptional, and I can’t wait to head back to my local Forever 21 store to do more shopping. With the array of options – dark fall colors, knits, cut-outs, accessories, make-up and more – you can find something for everyone. You can check out the whole collection available online HERE and in Forever 21 stores.

Runway to Real Way: Peter Pilotto Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear

Designing duo Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos' new spring collection is bold, eccentric and fashionable. Unveiled during London Fashion Week, Pilotto constructed unusual shapes and artsy details in a chic, innovative way. These next three looks exemplify the diversity of this collection and how I would alter them into Budget Babe steals. (Hopefully these will tide you over until the Peter Pilotto for Target collection comes out in February 2014!)
