    March 2008: Juicy Couture Style

    Juicy Couture is one of my favorite fashion brands.  I don't know if its the name "Juicy" or the feminine inspired clothing with ruffles and hearts that I just adore!  Here are some new arrivals for March 2008.  A must have for me is the Vintage Inspired sunglasses with gradient lenses in PINK!.  I remember way back in High School when these were popular and now are making a Huge comeback!  Ray Ban was one of the first retailers that brought back this "inspired vintage look."  The two-piece is so adorable along with the tube dress.  Just in time for beach season!

    Hi Tessi,
    Isn't it the best? So unique. I've only found one close dupe which is an discontinued Hot Topic color called Comrad Green. Not exact dupe, but pretty darn close :)

    Hi LR,
    Of course! I've included the picture in my orginial post. Hmm...That's a hard question because both have different qualities, but I'll have to go with Django. It's a great shade all around and not as pink. However, I do like the chunkiness in Dior's too. :)

    I just love these unique colors, No More War is the prettiest shade I have ever seen!
