Here's the Simply Vera Vera Wang Spring 2012 lookbook, highlighting the latest apparel, shoes and accessories from designer Vera Wang's budget-friendly line. A mix of lightweight cardigans, printed tops, cropped pants and day-to-night dresses are rendered in a soft palette of pastels like lilac and yellow mixed with neutrals like black and gray. Embellished peep-toes platforms, wedge sandals and chunky necklaces add interest and drama. I love how you can mix and match everything in this line. Once again, the shoes are my favorite part and once again, the bags are my least favorite. And it looks like Kohl's has no plans to mix up the models to showcase how these clothes will actually look in real life, but I suppose we're used to that. Look for these items as well as Simply Vera lingerie and linens, now in stores and online at www.kohls.com.

Juicy Couture's striped navy, white and pink cotton-jersey shirt is $98 at www.netaporter.com. This is the perfect spring update on the ever-popular striped top.

J.Crew has a similar style that's surprisingly less expensive at just $45. I almost bought this tee in person but I was in a hurry, so I'll probably go back for it. Love.

Colorblock stripe boatneck tee

Forever 21 has yet another option featuring pink and orange stripes with a solid black back, and it's just $10.99.

I'd happily take all three of these tops. Which do you prefer?

I had a déjà vu moment the other day when Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere posted an image of a colorful necklace that she had picked up at H&M. I had seen that necklace before...back in November at the H&M showroom! Somehow, I completely forgot to post all my photos from that magical trip to scout out H&M's glorious spring styles. Luckily, these are the breezy tops, bright blazers, colorful frocks and crisp trousers hitting stores right about now. You'll see a lot of coral, kelly green, neon yellow, hot pink, floral prints, fun stripes, cobalt blue and lovely lavender on the H&M racks. In other words: Color! I'm going to get at least one colorful blazer (some of you already have) and some printed pants (if my local store has them). Enjoy lots of fashion eye candy after the jump. See anything you love? Already bought?
