The Spring Update: Designer Fashion for Less

If you read my blog each week, you've probably noticed that I'm a sucker for a great hi-lo collaboration. This spring, we've seen some amazing new partnerships between designers and big name stores. While you can’t expect the same quality as the more expensive versions, the signature prints and designs are worth your time. Here are some of the hottest spring collaborations available online.
 

Duro Olowu for JC Penney offers a beautiful mix of color, texture, and pattern with an international spin. This collaboration is not only full of amazing clothes, but also kitchen sets, household items, and accessories.

















Derek Lam for Designation features amazing outfits for both work and play. Believe it or not, the entire line is available at Kohls!














As I posted on Facebook a few months ago, one of my favorite New York boutiques, Kirna Zabete, is now featured at Nine West! They've released a new line for summer filled with metallic accents and jeweled emellishments, but much of their collection from earlier this year is still available and on sale!












Prabal Gurung for Target is another collection filled with playful prints, colors and silhouettes. I love all of the flirty dresses for summer!











Even your children can look fabulous for less with collaborations such as Diane von Furstenberg & Gap Kids. This is her second collaboration with Gap Kids, and you can still expect adorable wrap dresses and her signature bold prints.

Cheap, Chic and On-Trend: JCP is the New H&M!

This blog post is dedicated to the readers who have been giving me a hard time for only posting $3,000 bags. If those high-price, on-trend items are out of reach, here's some good news: JC Penney has rebranded itself as JCP and its reinvention gives shoppers an in-store experience closer to what they get when shopping for luxury brands. Even the clothes got a make-over! Now, you can even buy designer brands there, such as Betsey Johnson's Betseyville, Nicole Miller's nicole By Nicole Miller, Charlotte Ronson's I 'Heart' Ronson, and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's Olsenboye. This season, JCP has a lot of trendy looks for very friendly prices, so you can get them even if you don't live in a big city with an H&M or Forever21. Here's a taste:

This season is all about embracing patterns and trying new shapes. How about a mod shift in houndstooth, one of the most prevalent patterns this season?


Or if you're feeling daring, try a large-scale pattern in color. This one is so Prada!


This top kills two trends with one stone: a pattern and leather sleeves.


Not enough leather? Rock the head-to-toe leather trend with this tunic.


Pair the tunic with short leather biker boots and leather leggings to complete the look.


The leather moto jacket is a key item for the black leather trend.


This elegant top is simple and sexy. Accessorize it with a jewel-toned brooch and earrings to make it pop, or try another trend, mixing prints, with the animal print skirt below.




Don't you just LOVE this mod orange coat? This is modern minimalism at its best. I'd love it over the Liz Claiborne patterned blouse and metallic snake print skirt!


The Peplum is one of the most important shapes this season. Gotta show off your waist or create one!


This dress is a great example of color blocking. Did you ever think brights mixed with black would be back? I sure didn't!


Fur trim and accessories are everywhere this season. A fur scarf looks luxurious, and with this one, you don't pay a luxurious price. Try it over a sweater or a coat.


Oxblood/burgundy is the color to rock this season. Try this ladylike shoulder bag. This color matches EVERYTHING, so you don't have to change your purse! Love that as a busy mom!


The slipper is the shoe of the season. Comfy, chic, inexpensive... what's not to love?


If you love the equestrian look this season, you'll need a good riding boot.


Any brides out there? Can you believe this dress costs $90???
