Forever 21 strikes again!

Since the "Sex and the City" movie came out in May, I have been simply lusting for Carrie's black studded belt which she wears for about a fourth of the movie. The actual belt is from SATC stylist Patricia Field's collection, but I refuse to spend $120 on a belt no matter how fab.

Now, a good studded belt is hard to find, and 99% of the time I would recommend staying clear. You can't just throw on any ole crap that your 15-year-old wannabe emo sister got at Pacific Sunwear and call it fierce.

Since Forever 21 has no shame when it comes to making exact copies of other people's designs, they just came out with this beauty, the Pyramid Stud Waist Belt (retail $9.80). The only difference is that the Forever version has elastic in the back where I believe the Patricia Field version is leather all the way around. Get this while you can, it's so close to Carrie's belt I'll be surprised if it lasts 2 days in the stores (already gonzo on the web). Wear it over a simple dress with a full skirt (H&M has a great deep purple one right now) or a light trench.

Btw Forever 21, I so smell a lawsuit. Luv ya!
