Here are some photos I snapped a couple months ago at the Princess Vera Wang for Kohl's Fall 2012 press preview in NYC, which showcased designer Vera Wang's new juniors line of apparel, shoes and accessories in stores now. The collection was grouped into a couple categories for the modern day "princess," be she preppy, punk or boho. I spied all the latest "trends," from neon and polka dots to print pants, statement necklaces and loafer flats. Many of the items you'll see in my photos are now available online and in stores and they're already on sale. Oh, Kohl's.

Here are some photos I snapped of the LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's collection during a recent Kohl's trip, which some of you may have followed on Twitter and Instagram. (It's like we're shopping together!) On this visit, I saw dozens of summer dresses in charming prints like vintage bicycles, pink flamingos, palm trees, colorful stripes and pretty florals. Many of these dresses could be dressed up with heels and a white blazer or dressed down with flat sandals and a denim jacket - love that. Other highlights included denim cut-offs in mint green, white, coral or peach and casual cotton skirts.

So what did I buy? I scooped up some green crop jeans on sale for $45 (down from $60) from the LC line, 'So' neon yellow skinny jeans for $15, ELLE colorblock flat sandals for $22.99 and Sonoma life+ style striped espadrille sandals for $20.99, PLUS everything was marked down an additional 30% at the register and I earned some Kohl's cash good thru July 15. All in all, it was a productive shopping trip!

J.Crew's 'Sardinia' striped espadrille wedge sandals were $118, but are currently sold out.



The look for less is also sold out online but I still had to feature them because you might find them in store. I picked up a pair of these Sonoma life + style espadrilles from Kohl's on Friday for $20.99 and I'm in love. They look as good if not better than the J.Crew sandals. I wore them today to brunch followed by a lengthy Home Depot run and my feet felt great, these are so comfy. If you like this style, head to Kohl's as soon as possible, sell out risk is high.
