Guys…. I am all about the little blue boxes, j.crew chunky pearl bracelets and David Yurman prettiness… but I also know that we’re in a recession right now, so when I came across some of these lovelies at Forever 21 a few weeks back, I couldn’t help but think about how pretty they would be for accessorizing the bridal party (or even the bride)! Blog on the brain? You bet. Pearls, sparkles, ruffles and tulle - eat your heart out! And at less than $10 each? I don’t really think you can go wrong, my friends.

Here are a few of my faves (matched with the online image vs. my iPhone pictures):


{1, 2, 3, 4}

I think my favorite find of all, though, was this sparkly braided necklace - at only $8.80, I am seriously buying a backup in case it breaks - it is one of my favorite accessories now (and it comes in black, too)! Wouldn’t this be a perfect accent for your bridesmaids strapless gowns?

And don’t forget about the decoy ring for your honeymoon! At $3.80, this is a much less devastating loss when you go snorkeling!

And because I couldn’t stop myself once I started looking online, here are a few more lovelies I couldn’t resist…


{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

So what do you think? Are you loving them as much as I am, or are you still judging me for shopping at Forever 21? ;)

    These are really great prices…I love that necklace you’re wearing and all of the pearls and ribbons!! I bought my wedding headband at Claires for $10 and my bridesmaids pearl necklaces and earrings at Kohls for $18! Its great to find pretty things at cheap prices but without the cheap look!

    I love F21 costume jewelry. I have so many pieces from there & always get compliments & they’re all like 6bucks. LOL Of course you know I love the decoy ring, but I’m seriously digging that necklace!! Had to take the day off for an appointment… might just venture over to F21 & grab one while I’m out, right? LOL :)

    I so don’t know how you find things in that store. I walk in to the ones around here and feel completely overwhelmed. I don’t know if all F21 stores are the same but the ones around here, so much is crammed in to a small space and I swear you could spend 3 hours looking and still find things you didn’t see the first time.

    Great finds though!!!

    Love it all!!!!

    You found such great stuff. I love F21. I am looking for inexpensive accesories to add to my girl’s gift bags. I’ve been scoping out their braclets and earrings. I really love the first 2 sets of braclets. Super cute and sooooo cheap!

    I was trying to find an excuse to shop at Forever21! Great finds!

  • Lisa says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    These are amazing finds! You look beautiful in that braided necklace, and I love the “rose gold” bangles…so pretty!

    haha i love it! i actually have about half of those images saved too! forever 21 has the BEST costume jewelry! using for bridesmaids is such a great idea!!

  • Sarah {A Paper Proposal} says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    I’m always surprised by what I can find at Forever21! It’s especially great for those pieces that you plan to wear for an even, and don’t necessarily plan on keeping/using forever.

  • Nicole {Niche White} says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    One of my favorite places to shop for costume jewelry, hands down! It’s so inexpensive. I MUST have that $8.80 rope necklace you’re wearing! I hope that’s a current find!!

  • birdie to be says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    GREAT finds! I love this post… so cute! I love #4 on the last board & first board!

    Such fantastic finds! You know I love Forever 21 and I love this post!

  • Miriam Corona says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    Love, love, love the format of this i-board and the goodies you found. My bridesmaids all wore F21 jewelry for my wedding! :)

  • Lena says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    How can you RESIST the jewelry at F21? It’s divine! I have a pearl cuff I bought for pennies that I saw just a few weeks later…on a Style Me Pretty bride! All shame was gone.

  • Julie says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    Definitely not judging! I just had a post about the inexpensive pieces I’m looking to pick up for the upcoming season! You can’t beat the price for things that you don’t plan on using for more than one season!

  • alicia@Charitywedding says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    I love it all! I actually got the bracelet I wore on my wedding day at Kohls for less than $10. I could have spent WAY more on a pearl bracelet but that seemed silly when I most likely would never wear it again. I am all about cheap jewelry.

  • Faith says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    gorgeous gorgeous finds! i love forever21, no matter what anyone says … so no judging over here! :)

  • Melina says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    Forever 21 is seriously one of my favorite places! I love these finds!

  • Michelle @ Ten June says on August 23, 2011 Reply

    What a great post! Even for those of us not planning a wedding, these are some seriously good finds : ) Those stud earrings might need to fall in my bag with me next time I hit up F21! : ) Great post! xo

    I so agree, I mix expensive with inexpensive clothes/accessories all the time, and get lots of compliments, people never know!
