LOFT Spring 2014 Preview


LOFT Spring 2014 press preview

At the end of 2013, Loft hosted a preview of their Spring 2014 collection. True to form, Loft is offering a variety of separates and accessories that can be eased into any wardrobe. The palette, while muted, was airy, clean and crisp. The silhouettes are flattering and easily transitioned from work to casual, or vice versa. A desaturated coral anorak and lace pencil skirt in off-white were among my favorite pieces. Spring, we're waiting for you!

Lands' End Spring/Summer 2014 Preview


Lands' End Spring 2014 Preview

Great graphic designs and bold prints shine on everything from classic sportswear to swimsuits, plus lots of essential accessories. Lands' End stays consistent with their canvas bag offerings and personalization of items like preppy polos and button-ups, but have added "fun" as an overall accent to each piece! Among my favorites were the flamingo and stripes sweater and the chic ballet flats. Keep reading to see more pics - and tell me you aren't smiling by the end!

Held at the Lincoln Center in New York City, the theme this season was "hot," and the wild-child designer went all-out through the use of satin, fur, sequin, and print. Makeup by Stila Cosmetics featured smoldering eyes, hot pink lips and a little sparkle for Betsey's rocker-chic girl. Accessories like animal print bags, chunky gold chains and knee-high socks felt fun and rebellious. This eye-catching collection went above and beyond my expectations. Here are some highlights:

I'm bracing for a big snowstorm tonight but dreaming of lush, sun-drenched gardens as I browse through these ridiculously pretty photos from the LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's Spring 2014 lookbook.

Highlights for me include a unique inset Peter Pan collar top ($40), essential circle-cut black skirt ($40) and vintage floral fit-and-flare dress ($60) - a last minute Valentine's Day outfit, perhaps?
