Topshop Pick of the Week: Large Heart Tights

As far as the fashion industry is concerned, the ’80s are here to stay – and have been in a big way these past few years. Some of the ’80s-inspired styles have been great, and some not-so-great, but one revival I hope will be sticking around are patterned tights. While black opaque tights are a wardrobe staple and appropriate for all occasions, funky patterned tights are a great way to spice up any otherwise dull, casual outfit.

Luckily, patterned tights have been all the rage this season and thus can be found nearly anywhere; however, I can’t think of any pair I’ve seen cuter than these Topshop Large Heart Opaque Tights! For just $20, you can immediately kick any outfit up a notch with these fun, flirty tights. The best part? They’ll go with nearly anything, and will look particularly fabulous paired with this season’s trendy ankle or thigh-high boots.

To purchase, visit Topshop.com (make sure you’re viewing the US site!), click tights & socks -> tights. Or, if you’re in the NYC area, simply visit their US location on the corner of Broadway & Broome!

Cozy Up in a Fur Collar Cardigan

by fashionpulse

Via our friends at thefind.com:

Fall 2009 is all wrapped up in cozy luxe dressing. Fur is a major trend this season. Add just a touch of vintage appeal to your look with a fur collared cardigan. These cozy cardis can be dressed up or down. You can create a look that is sweet and demure or infused with a downtown urban edge. Fur collared cardigans are available in long and belted to short and cropped styles. Many of the collars are detachable, but be sure to remove the fur before washing or dry cleaning.

Distinctly vintage and feminine, Bryan Bradley’s Cropped Cardigan, (upper left, $178 at NeimanMarcus.com) is pretty in pink with a brown natural rabbit collar. The pink cardigan is knit of a silk/cashmere blend and three-quarter sleeves. Juicy Couture’s Faux-fur Trimmed Wool Cardigan, (right, $280 at Net-a-Porter) is a long belted cardigan. I especially love the puff shoulders which adds a modern twist to this self-belted style. Knit of 100% grey lambswool the sweater fastens with a concealed press-stud fastener at the front. Perfect for stylish recessionistas is a fantastic buy from Target. The Merona Fur-Collar Cardigan (middle left, $18.74) is a cotton/rayon blend with a faux fur collar. This button down style has a tie waist and the collar can be removed. Lastly, from Urban Outfitters is a cropped style featuring a curved single button front and a v-neck faux fur collar. The “Ecote” Cardigan (bottom left, $68 at Urban Outfitters) is a cotton acrylic blend and would pair nicely with a pair of your favorite jeans for a weekend casual look.

The Limited has really stepped up their game lately; with a strong fall/winter showing that re-launched the famous Forenza sweater, The Limited seems poised to reclaim its fashion territory. Spring 2010 was a great mix of business attire separates as well as casual pieces such as boyfriend jeans and nautical-inspired blazers and tops. What am I most looking forward to? I have to admit that I think the more formal looks were my favorites. Spot-on with a definite contemporary feel, these looks were styled just right and in the perfect color palette, will definitely be a hit for spring:

As you can see, it was a total accessory-fest at the Charlotte Russe Holiday 2009 and early Spring 2010 press preview yesterday! I completely gushed over the re-fashioned vintage jewelry and statement pieces, as well as the price points: 2 for $8, with the most expensive piece landing at $20. This season you will be certain to find your sparkle and sequins at Charlotte Russe; my favorites included the fitted sequined jacket and adorned dress (below, left) that housed hardware and sequins. For early spring delivery, expect more fitted, yet still deconstructed boyfriend jeans and fitted blazers. When does these items come out in stores, you may wonder? Soon, very very soon….
