Style Swoon: From Olivia Palermo's lustworthy booties to Forever 21's new line of REALLY cute activewear, FEMAIL reveals the affordable fashions we're loving this week
When it comes to fashion, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a super stylish every-day passerby.
As fashion editors, we're moved by all of the above, and then some. We're exposed to under the radar labels; we get a first hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we're tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop a lot.
To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, an insider's view of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this weekly Friday series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for the clotheshorses and fashion fanatics alike.

Finding the perfect black bootie is like finding the quintessential LBD – it's a game changer! Style icon Olivia Palermo recently donned a swoon-worthy pair by Jimmy Choo.
The 'Harvey 100' ankle boots feature an almond toe, a back zipper, a platform sole and a high stiletto heel, and they're fabulous! As they should be, retailing for $925.
Out of our budgets, we tried and tested several wallet friendly pairs of classic (you'll want to wear them again and again) pairs and found the the below styles by Andrew Marc and Rebecca Minkoff to be our favorites.
