JCPenney Women's Spring 2014 Lookbook


JCP women's spring 2014 lookbook

As you begin culling spring fashion inspiration from around the web, take a look at the JCPenney women's lookbook; it showcases trends from JCPenney exclusive brands such as Worthington, Cosmopolitan, Bisou Bisou, Liz Claiborne, A.N.A., MNG by Mango, and JCP, plus shoes from Call It Spring. The black and white trend really stands out, as does colorblocking, bold stripes, and bursts of coral. I'm always drawn to the JCP brand (check out the anchor sweater and striped blazer after the jump). And the chic fashion-editor ensemble above? It's a blouse and pleather skirt by (surprise) Worthington! Nothing's over $66, and you can find these pieces online and in stores coming out now through April.

What do you think? Who's ready to give everyone's favorite budget-fashion underdog another look?!

ELLE for Kohl's Spring 2014 Lookbook


ELLE for Kohl's Spring 2014 Look Book

I've been sharing glimpses of the spring offerings coming to Kohl's on my Instagram feed, and now here's the ELLE collection lookbook for more spring inspiration. Key trends to think about include mod black and white, 90s florals and layering, touches of pink and a return to "pretty" with lace, sheers and ladylike silhouettes. I'm loving the striped dresses like this one that have a Kate Spade New York vibe as well as the bright pink accents (like this dress) that feel J.Crew-inspired. Look for these affordable fashions to roll out February through March at Kohl's stores and online at Kohls.com.
