Mailbox Mondays: Forever 21 and Amazon.com Haul

Welcome to another Mailbox Monday! While I hadn’t purchased things in a couple of weeks, I feel like I more than made up for it with this little haul. I was so inspired by some of the Fall 2013 Trends posts I’ve been doing that I had to go out and order a couple lovely things for myself! I knew that I wanted something in leopard print, some gold accessories, a new bag to lug around all of my textbooks, and some aviators. Here’s what I actually ended up with:

I got this pair of cute leopard-print flats from Amazon for under $10. Score! I knew that I wanted to ease my way into the leopard print trend, and these will go nicely with my predominantly-black wardrobe. I just had to have these when I saw them. Available on Amazon for under $12, they are black and tan leather Roman sandals with gold studs and -my favorite part- teeny little gold skulls on the straps. On the left is a silver and gold midi ring with a little heart. On the right is a stacked set with black enamel, gold, and silver rings. The black enamel ring is gorgeous IRL, and I am surprised at how much I love the silver beaded one! Left: dainty silver midi rings. Right: Another stacked set in gold with grey and black stones. This faux-leather bag from Forever 21 is so beautiful and luxurious in person. I ordered it primarily because I wanted to jump on the trend of large leather bags and needed something for my school books, but I can see this becoming a go-to bag. Having never tried on a pair of aviators before (I know, right?) I was lusting for a pair but I didn't want to spend the big bucks on a classic set of Ray Bans right off the bat. These have gunmetal frames and purplish lenses, and are really cute on. Based on these, I think I will definitely spring for some Ray Bans in gold sometime soon. This is a little gold and enamel pendant on a long gold chain, and it's so adorable in person. It's the perfect balance of delicate and statement trends, and can work on its own or layered with other necklaces.

I also purchased a faded sage green button-down shirt with bronze stud detailing, but I could not for the life of me get it to show up properly in any pictures.  Perhaps I’ll do an outfit of the day at some point and try to photograph it in its natural environment. ;)

Did I inspire you to purchase any treats for yourself? If you find any good deals on fall trend items, do let me know. I love a good bargain!
