Haul: My New Bag & a Few Other Goodies From F21!

YAYYY! I got a mini imitation of the coveted Alexa Mulberry bag =). It also looks like the Proenza Schouler P1. It's from Forever21 and is a steal for $30, compared to its counterpart that totals over $1000. I love it so much. I wish it was as big as the Alexa, but it's good for the price.The material itself is also very impressive. It's nice and sturdy. The nice thing is that it also fits my notebooks and such for class :).

I've been really into silky/flowy materials lately. They look great layered under a cardigan or a blazer. I'm imagining it with a pair of boots for the upcoming cooler season.

Knee high socks are definitely in this fall. I got a gray and cream pair since I already own a good amount of black ones. I'm not so sure why I bought the girly headband... we'll see if I find a way to wear it without looking like I'm 10.

Overall, a small haul, but I got really good staples for the season =)!

NOTD: Minty On a Budget

I'm really lazy when it comes to nails. I love nail polish and all, but honestly, I probably paint my nails two times a month. I don't do base coats or top coats either. I just slap on the color and call it good. Well, on my lunch break at work today I went to the Forever21 at the mall nearby. Whilst standing in line to buy some rings, I noticed their Love & Beauty line had a seafoam green nail polish in Mint ($3). Hey, at three dollars, it's a steal.

So I brought it back to work, where I painted my nails.

The quality is a LOT better than I expected. The color is not only pastel but it's ultra pigmented! No sheer streaky color for me. The color itself reminds me a lot of the color that Essie came out with during the holiday. Mint could be it's cousin from the wrong side of the tracks, you know. The cousin that takes way too many napkins from McDonalds.

Have you guys tried Forever21's nailpolishes? Which cheap brands do you like?
