Puddingcup. : I like the shoes. They look sporty and cool at the same time. As for the hoodie, I think it depends of your style in general. If you can pull it off, I would say go for it !
Lil_PinkBunnie : This dress would be a good item to add to your closet full of vintage clothes. Even if you're 5'4, I'm pretty sure it won't affect the laid-back bohemian look of it. Personally, I wouldn't put a belt cuz it already has a print and some ruffles at the bottom. I would rather keep it loose. _________________ Dream as if you'll live forever.

Lil_PinkBunnie: That dress is TOO cute. I would wear it for sure with either a belt or without. It will look fine with your height, and if you have a longer torso, you will barely notice a difference. Oh, and where are you getting it from? _________________

| Lil_pinkbunnie: I think that dress is super cute! And if you are worried about it looking too billowy on you, then you can definitely belt it and it will be more form-fitting. I`d love to wear that dress with cowboy boots! Hahaha. |

HELP!!!
So a few months ago I had a paul frank sweater that was light blue (pullover.)
And I LOVED it. So I want to buy a new one but i need help.
I want a zip-up which is more expensive than the pullover. The pullover is $52.00 (on sale) and the zip-up one is $70.00 (not on sale.) I'm not a huge fan of the colours of the pull-overs, but I did find a really nice blue zip-up one.
So. Should I buy the zip-up one? Wait till it goes on sale?
(BTW, Im really stuck because I work, so $52.00 is ALOT, on one sweater, and yet i could spend $70.00 without tax.) _________________ In Europe, without any computers. See you when I come back!<33-Serb- |

serb : Since you don't want to spend too much money on a top, you should wait until the zip-up one goes on sale. In this way, you would buy a zip-up in a color that you like at a price that you like too. It would be a waste of money to buy the pullover one in a color that you don't even like. _________________ Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow. |

serb: like MAG said, I think you should definitely buy something that you like in the first place, not opt for the cheaper item that you don't like as much, because really both prices are a lot for a sweater. It would be ideal to wait for it to go on sale, but if it doesn't at least get one that you like, if you're sure you'll wear it for a long time and love it to bits : )
I once loved two different sweaters, one Adidas, one Roxy. The Adidas one was the softest thing EVER till I wore it lots, and then it bagged out kinda weird, and then it got paint on it. I still have it though Then the Roxy one, well it still looks brand new of course, I still LOVE it but it shrunk really a LOT in the wash and it's a belly top now, so I gave it to my best friend's 12 year old sister : ).

^^ Both sweaters are great but i'd probably say the first one because usually horizontal stripes make people look wider. But if you don't have have to worry about looking wide like i do, then the second, it appeals to me more.
As for the shoes, not a big fan of them but if it works for you the black would be better. _________________ __________________________________> <_________________

| Lil_pinkbunnie: I loooove the first sweater! The second one looks great too but I think the first one is more my style, and since the stripes aren't as traditional it makes it a little more quirky. I actually don't mind those shoes, although I probably would not be able to wear them myself (not a heels fan unless it's a special occasion), and I think they're better in the black. |

As everyone said, the first sweater is more trendy and would look great with black shoes and accessories. I think that the round neckline and the horizontal lines make the second sweater look casual. I'm not a big fan of the heels, but we can see this picture on Forever21 and they actually look quite good in real. If they fit with your style, you should buy them in black since you could only wear the white ones during summer.

I think I will wait for it to go on sale, but i am leaving to Europe in a few weeks, so if it doesnt than i might buy a different sweater all together!

I like the first sweater because it's more flattering.
And I personally hate the shoes but I would go with the black because as mentioned before, white only works at certain times. _________________

^ Juicy coin purse for the win. The Harajuku one doesn't have anything... really great about it. The Juicy one at least looks more classic. The colour isn't bad either _________________

i forget how much juicy coinpurses are in store here, but there are quite a few floating around at various stores, but i don't think i've seen one in that style in the recent. (or at all)
revolve is kind of hit and miss with the fees, if customs wants to charge you duties then theyll charge you, but sometimes they skip you =) _________________ formerly sugarr

cappucino_cream: To be honest I don't REALLY like either...the Juicy one kinda looks furry which turns me off cause I associate that kind of thing with juvenile (or more juvenile) trends/fashion, plus it gets dirty...and the Harajuku one is just bleh. I would say go for the Harajuku one cause it's cheaper and not furry so it won't get dirty, but as an alternative why don't you get a Coach one? They're pretty cheap (well, they're in the same price range as the Harajuku and Juicy ones you posted), and in my opinion they look better.

| ^^ I say it depends on what you primarily use it for. I love my wristlet because I use it when I don't want to bring a purse around (small purses are not my thing, so all the bags I have are quite large), so I just stick my essentials in it, some cash, some cards, my ID, bus pass, chapstick. It's also great for clubbing cause it's not cumbersome and you don't have to coatcheck it in, just keep it on your wrist. If you want just a change purse, the wristlet will probably be too big (unless you hoard large amounts of change!), so then you should go with the mini skinny. All up to you! |

I guess I'm lucky. I've ordered from Revolve ALOT... and I have yet to ever have been charged customs. _________________

If you can get a chance to go to a Prime Outlets (states anywhere) or Fashion Outlets (niagara- us side) do so. I got my wristlet for on $35 USD.
mine is most similar to this one.

And I think the mini skinnies were like $15? You could get BOTH if you wanted.
But I love my wristlet to death. It saved my life when my purse broke. _________________ [Veni]..

What do you think of these boots?
They're from urban outfitters and I'm a bit worried they don't fit my style. I don't have that kind of indie look, more like basic tee and jeans kind-a girl.

| ^ I think those are super cute. I saw them at UO a few days ago and I was thinking of buying them, but I ended up buying another pair (and besides, I already have kind of similar ones that are the knit Ugg ones). I think they'd look great with skinny jeans or leggings! |

^^^ I love them! I was looking at them on the website the other day! If you're not too sure about them you should go check them out at the store because I saw a pair of booties from UO at Stoneridge and it looked totally different from the picture on the UO site. _________________
