Boutique Review | White House Black Market SoHo

I used to associate White House Black Market with the older crowd but after a trip to the new SoHo location my perceptions have changed. This boutique is a must for us New York fashionistas who love to wear black. They have a great selection of little black dresses, camis and sweet accessories. The staff is absolutely amazing as well the girls are very accommodating and gracious. An overall fabulous shopping experience. Just a word of caution, although I love everything about this store I don't recommend the shoes. They look great and are super cheap at an average of 88.00 but they will bring hell to your feet.

How To Shop At Forever21

I can't stand shopping in store at Forever21. too many clothes, too many colors, and way too many shoppers. There is no room to breathe nor think. But, I love the clothes none the less and adore the online store. Always up to the minute, Forever21 is where I go to stock up on things I know won't last but just have to have. There are several things to keep in mind while shopping at Forever21 or any high street store.

Things To Keep In Mind:

• When in doubt, buy black. Any other color will look cheap, believe me.


• Don't buy a garment that already has any lose threads or any type of damage. If it can't hold up on the rack it definitely will not hold up after a wild night out.


• With that in mind remember that these garments won't last for more than two seasons.


• Look for the right fabrics, try to find cottons, silks and merino wools. They're the most comfortable fabrics and look much better than their artificial counterparts.


• Stock up on costume jewelry. They have a great selection.
