Olsenboye for JCP Spring 2014 Lookbook


Olsenboye Spring 2014 Lookbook

It's not a line we think about a lot, yet the Olsenboye for JCPenney collection always has cute and trendy pieces at affordable prices, and this spring's line-up is no different. Check it out if you're in the market for a demure crop top, loose-fit print pants, or flirty floral sundress. And don't forget to check out the accessories: I actually just picked up this polka-dot backpack ($39) from this collection on my last trip to the mall and it's so fun! I was on the fence just because it's from the "juniors" department but your positive comments on Instagram sealed the deal for me. Shop the spring collection in stores and online at JCPENNEY.COM.

Joe Fresh for JCP Spring 2014 Lookbook

JCPenney has been in the news lately for good reasons for a change: The company's shares are up 70% since Feb. 4 and there are other signs that the big box retailer is finally making a slow recovery. They've got a new campaign "When it fits, you feel it" which you may have seen debut during the Oscars - and it seems to be resonating with customers. All this made me remember that I had yet to post the Joe Fresh spring 2014 lookbook showcasing some of the latest spring trend pieces available now. This is one of my favorite lines to be picked up by JCP because the pieces are modern yet classic and super affordable. Highlights include a nautical striped sheath dress ($29), print slim-fit pants ($39), and coral trench ($49), to name a few. Click on over to JCPENNEY.COM to see the entire collection, plus plenty of winter pieces on clearance and other spring items already on sale.

Peter Som for Kohl's Lookbook

The Peter Som for DesigNation collection is coming soon to Kohl's - April 10th, to be exact - and that means it's time to pour over the lookbook and start making your wishlist! Inspired by St. Barths, the beautiful line features relaxed separates, effortless dresses, and chic rompers with Som's signature cool-yet-ladylike vibe. The more I look at this collection, the more I love it. I can envision myself wearing pieces like the wide-leg charmeuse pants ($54), white moto jacket ($78), diagonal striped maxi dress ($78), black jumpsuit ($88) and floral romper ($64). Don't let the prices scare you - Kohl's always has great sales and discounts so you won't be paying full price. In fact, the previous designer collab with Catherine Malandrino is on clearance (just search "Catherine Malandrino" on kohls.com to see what's left.)

What do you think? Is this the best DesigNation collab to date?
