The Look for Less: Burberry-Inspired Jeweled Sweatshirt

On the spring 2012 runway, Burberry showcased lots of geometric patterns and tribal-inspired prints including this top with a multi-colored embellished neckline.

Here's another close-up shot:

I could be wrong about the inspiration for this jeweled sweatshirt, but when I spotted it at lordandtaylor.com, I was instantly reminded of the Burberry runway. It's by a label called I Madeline and it's $64 - and with Lord & Taylor's Friends & Family event which started today, you can save an extra 25% off all regular and sale price items.

And here's another derivative look - a jeweled tee available for just $20.90 at wetseal.com.



Finally, you could always DIY this trend yourself! Check out I Spy DIY's jeweled sweatshirt here.

H&M Spring 2014 Video Lookbook


I'm so not ready to think about spring fashion right now but H&M just released their spring 2014 video lookbook for women (and men). There are 13 looks modeled by Andreea Diaconu, featuring a contrast of short and long hemlines, white and black, fluid and structured pieces - but the overall effect is overwhelmingly light and airy. Think urban bohemian. A few mint green pieces punctuate the otherwise neutral palette. I find the tassel embellishments most interesting (they're big, like curtain tie-backs). Take a look and store these images in the back of your mind until March 6 when the collection will be available for purchase. Follow on social with hashtag #HMSS14.
