This gorgeous pearl and ribbon necklace crafted by feminine fashion genius Alber Elbaz of Lanvin for his Spring 2009 collection. Per usual, the Lanvin piece, which comes in a bevy of beautiful colors, will run you around $2k - just a teensy bit impossible for those of us struggling to pay our rent for that same price. 

Though pretentious fashionistas all around are hating on Forever21 for creating this piece, I think it's a) the nature of the industry for fast fashion retailers to knock off expensive pieces for us poor people to buy and b) a great look for less! Forever21 has replaced the details in Elbaz's piece with rhinestones, but it's still a close enough replica.
