Are you ready to welcome the avant-garde into your wardrobe? H&M just recently announced a Spring design collaboration with the  ultra-chic, print-and-texture-happy Italian brand Marni. Available starting March 8th, 2012 in stores and online, the collection will feature both clothing and accessories for men and women.


Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni founder and creative director, mixes print and color in new ways, crafting playful combinations of modern, graphic, and tribal fabrications, and finishes it all off with sporty elements.  This African-inspired line will be rife with classic Marni silhouettes: cropped pants, full pleated skirts and dresses, jacquard knits and more!

Cropped Tweed Pants Make For a Casual-Cool Office Look (thefind.com Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

While it’s a total bummer to say goodbye to summer, there’s still plenty of reason to celebrate the start of fall… when it comes to trends, that is! Now that the weather is starting to cool down, it’s time to embrace previously taboo textiles like wool – specifically tweed! Cropped tweed trousers may have been totally unwearable during the hotter summer months, but they could easily be your autumn go-to staple for making a chic statement at work that’s still comfortable and effortlessly cool. Pair with some chunky wedge booties for fall or your favorite printed flats, or elongate legs with some pointed toe pumps. These fresh-for-fall styles put a new spin on the traditionally “stuffy” material (so long to stiff jackets and suits!), but when wearing slouchier styles be sure to stay mindful of proportions by pairing with a more tailored or streamlined top to avoid looking sloppy!

3.1 Phillip Lim’s F/W 2011 collection was a strong mix of both sporty and functional elements with examplary items including cropped pants and well-cut coats. The best pieces of the collection were mostly outerwear, a change for Lim whose complicated dressed and cuts reined supreme in the past.

8 Under $20: Key Pieces You Will Love All Season (CollegeCandy Guest Post)

by

Besides all the glitz, glamour and fancy trends those 100-pound fashion magazines are pushing on you this season, there are eight things you must have in your closet (not counting undies, bras and socks, of course – you still need to wear those).  Things that will always work, no matter what. Things that you can mix and match and dress up or down for any occasion. Things that are just plain cute.

Lucky for all of us, all 8 of those things can be nabbed for under 20 buckaroos!  And what’s more, these key pieces will barely ever putter out of style.  If they do, tuck them back in a dark corner for the season and bring them back out with next season’s Vogue.

The Floral Dress: This cute number is no longer delegated to only spring or summer.  A wispy floral dress looks edgy with a leather jacket or super cozy with a thick knit sweater.  Side Note: Avoid bulky.  Keep it light and classy!

Cargo Skinnies: These great, neutral pants are your new blue jean replacement. You can often see Victoria Beckam making them look totally hot with a black blazer and simple tee. With platform pumps, these cargo pants can look chic!

Cozy Knit: This warm knit makes me want to curl up in front of a fire with some Baileys and hot chocolate. Or in the library with a Stats book and a Five Hour Energy. But it’s not just for snuggle-time. You can drape it over a pair of skinny jeans and boots for the day, or add a belt to cinch the waist for a fancier event.

Cropped Leather Jacket: OK, so maybe this isn’t real, deliciously smelling leather.  BUT, it looks pretty damn close and I’ve never been disappointed by pleather faux leather.  Not to mention, it’s super cheap and would look great with a floral dress, tights and booties. Oh, and it would look even better as you rip it off and swing it over your head on the dance floor.
