Nicole Miller For JCPenney Complete Lookbook

I have a thing for Nicole Miller, and the lady behind it all. However, her spring ’12 collection for JCPenney is now giving me even more to love and much less to pay. The New York designer delivers the chic wearability we’ve come to expect from her line, as well as some styling inspiration, all priced under $100. With looks that might as well be part of a textbook entry on “How to Mix Prints,” the newest lookbook also brings the return of chunky platforms, asymmetrical necklines, and bright boho prints. Love It All!!

The collection reads like a sartorial mix tape for whatever mood we’re in, with beyond enough options — flirty animal-print dresses, off-the-shoulder blouses, and tailored black bottoms, to name a few. Celebrity-in-hiding sunnies, cool printed and solid handbags, and color-blocked heels finish off the looks and add a certain edginess to the easy collection.

Last week I’ve posted the lookbook images of the Versace for H&M Cruise 2012 collection featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw and River Viiperi, now here’s a look at the ad campaign. The poolside set looks pretty cool against the fruit prints and I swear Abbey makes everything look so good! Does this make you like the collection more? The collection is slated to release exclusively in markets where H&M online is available on January 19th.

The Entire Jason Wu For Target Collection

Here’s a look at the complete Jason Wu for Target collection, which hits stores February 5th. Inspired by French New Wave films and the actress Jean Seberg, the 53-piece capsule features a selection of seriously covetable separates — blouses with Peter Pan collars, pleated skirts, and nautical-tinged dresses — as well as a hefty assortment of luxe-looking handbags and accessories. “My goal was not to duplicate anything from my main collection,” Wu explains. “Instead I designed completely new clothes and accessories that reflect my taste and have a voice of their own.” With everything in the collection priced under $60, it seems that soon everyone will be able to afford a little piece of Wu to call their own as well. Look below for entire collection, now.

NARS Spring 2012 Collection + Makeup Removing Water

NARS Spring 2012 Collection + Makeup Removing Water

 

Love this new Nars collection! I can’t wait to try the eyeshadows and of course the blush, which is the perfect shade of pink of spring /summer. The Makeup remover is also a definite must have on my list 😉

The Spring 2012 Collection, created by Founder and Creative Director François Nars, stars a mix of bright and playful colors balanced with rich, saturated hues. Nars chose to photograph model Ginta Lapina for the spring campaign, explaining, “Her delicate features and classic beauty made her an ideal fit for a collection that’s at once fresh and fierce.” The collection is a study in contrasts: Bold color underscored by sophisticated shimmer. Eyes glisten in muted tones of lavender and pink, or shimmer in bronze shades accented with rich navy. Cheeks are flushed with candy pink. Lips gleam in topaz or pop with berry. Metallic violet nails add the finishing touch to a collection that’s bright, strong and iconic.

The collection launches on http://www.narscosmetics.com on January 13th.

Wear each alone or use one as a base, another to highlight and the third as a liner or contour.

Jason Wu for Target – Sneak Peek 3

Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2012

Alexander Wang’s playful sportiness and menswear-inspired tailoring are back for Pre-Fall 2012. “We started with the idea of tromp l’oeil, something quite classic but less in a whimsical way and more the idea of deceptive textures and patterns,” Wang explains. Thus, the season’s pencil skirts, structured jackets, and cropped trousers are punctuated with clever tactile details: peek-a-boo pleats, mesh knits “printed” with geometric burnouts, and fine wools coated with a suede-like metallic. Accessories include a clutch in the form of a jumbo eyeglass case and a miniature version of the Rocco bag called the “Rocky”.

The women’s collection is light and feminine, with a berries and butterflies print on dresses, tops, negligées, dressing gowns and a silk cashmere cardigan. There are also white jeans, bikinis, and accessories such as charm bracelets, print bags, ballet flats and high heels. For men, the focus is on fashion classics like a leather detail wool blazer, jeans and denim shirts, alongside pleat-front shorts in cotton or denim.

What do you guys think of the collection? Do you like?

I’m so excited for the Marni at H&M collaboration! Can’t wait to see the  Sofia Coppola’s campaign film for the collection. For the collaboration with Marni, H&M has also announced a special T-shirt to raise funds for the Red Cross in Japan to help with its continuing earthquake relief work. 25% of sales from the special unisex T-shirt will be donated to the Red Cross in Japan. The T-shirt is part of the Marni at H&M collection and will be available in 260 H&M stores worldwide from March 8, 2012, nearly a year after the earthquake struck.

The design of the T-shirt is pure Marni and features a child hand-drawn image full of charm and optimism. The t-shirt will be displayed with its own hangtag to let customers know of the charitable donation.

SUPPORT!

nOir Jewelry for L.A.M.B Collection

nOir Jewelry for L.A.M.B Collection

Back in October, I’ve posted about the nOir Jewelry x L.A.M.B. collaboration here are more photos from the collection. nOir Jewelry designer Leeora Catalan and Gwen Stefani came together to collaborate on an entire jewelry collection which will be available beginning February 2012. The collection will be available at department stores, high end specialty boutiques, and online at noirjewelry.com.

The collection features four groups with inspiration drawing from very different areas, but all coming together in a cohesive way that also represents both of the brands. India was a huge inspiration in the entire collection, as well as punk references that both Stefani and Catalan are known for. Enamel, studs, and cords are all components in the collection, used in various ways with geometric shapes and prints. Bangles and rings are stacked to add drama to the looks on the runway, but can be worn individually for a more everyday look.

LOVE IT!! Can’t wait to buy it all !! 😉

adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott – Spring/Summer 2012 Collection Lookbook

adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott   Spring/Summer 2012 Collection Lookbook

Taking a peek at the lookbook for his Spring/Summer 2012 collection reveals all over sequined shirts, a gold-winged jacket, and a purple leopard print kimono with the image of a surfing gorilla printed on it.  Scott’s apparel range previewed here very much builds on the themes from his sneaker lineup, with a lot of the familiar imagery crossing over; some of the shirts straight up spot photos of said shoes. I am in love with the sequined dress and the gold leather jacket! I know the looks are a little over the top but for my “take a risk” followers= what’s your fav piece?
