Look For Less: Forever 21 Mesh Pearl Strand Necklace

This mesh pearl strand necklace from Forever 21 is the perfect accessory for the stylish young woman that still remembers when the Material Girl was a lace tutu-wearing pop sensation, yet works just as perfectly for the trendy teen that refers to Madonna as "that buff singer that, like, invented yoga, right?" The pearls and mesh flower give the necklace a feminine feel, while the ruffled, intertwining mesh give it texture and edge. Worn over a cotton tee and cardi with a pencil skirt, it's just right for a lunch meeting, or would look totally cool layered over long tanks and tattered leggings for a "rich girl gone bad" vibe. It doesn't matter how many outfits you pair it with, though, because nothing beats the amazing price and the uncanny (but not copycat) resemblance it bears to one of Lanvin's ultra-coveted, ultra-pricey mesh and pearl confections!
Price: $10.80
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the mesh pearl strand necklace to the Hive.
Madonna Cleans Up In The New D&G Ad!

She may have been dismissed from Louis Vuitton, but Madonna didn't waste any time getting another high-fashion gig. This time she's playing a sexy Italian housewife in a Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign. I have a feeling Madonna doesn't generally participate in any of the activities she's seen doing in her new ads. For instance, washing dishes? Peeling onions? Even eating pasta. Something tells me Madonna just doesn't do a whole lot of household chores. Nor does she eat a lot of carbs. But she sure looks good doing all these things in the ads! In fact, I would say the 51-year-old looks younger and prettier than ever! And she certainly has the perfect cleavage! The ads are for the Spring/Summer 2010 campaign and were photographed by Steven Klein. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have said, "to have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true." Do you think she'll help the brand sell? Check back with our friends at LimeLife for a slideshow of Madonna through the years!
