DIANE is Just Soooo DVF

Diane von Furstenberg, I’ve always been a huge fan! The first dress I ever bought from you was one of your quintessential signatures, a three-quarter length sleeve wrap dress in the splotchy ink-print, you know, the same one you wore while posing in front of your Warhol portrait. I thought I was trés chic, and still do, when I wear it. It was a stroke of luck that I found that dress in that very special print, but now, finding a vintage print in your collection will be easier than ever: introducing DIANE, a new collection of twenty archived prints re-released in newly tailored silhouettes The collection launches February 28th, and will include (of course) the iconic wrap dress styles, ready-to-wear accessories, shoes and swimwear. Can’t wait? Me neither!

Check out the new video preview of the collection!

8 Under $20: Tribal Jewelry (CollegeCandy Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

Along with bold, bright bags and loose-fitting tops, tribal-themed accessories and clothing, particularly Aztec-inspired items, are going to be everywhere this spring. Personally, I’m a big fan of this trend in jewelry – the bright colors and interesting patterns and shapes create bold statement pieces that are as fun to wear as they are to look at.

These styles look particularly great with the bright hues and breezy shapes of summer clothing, but you might want to think about starting to incorporate some pieces now. Many stores are already carrying great tribal-themed jewelry, and it’s just the pick-me-up our wardrobes need as we suffer through another 6 weeks of the dull grays and blacks of winter-wear. Even more, you can get a lot of it for less than $20, like all the pieces shown here!
