In today's installment of The Zoe Report, super stylist Rachel Zoe highlighted these Chanel 5'O'Clog Mules as seen on the Spring 2010 runways, which you can purchase for $1,795 by calling 800.550.0005 or by visiting Chanel.com for more info.




The look for less, also adeptly spotted by Zoe, can be yours for $178 with the Jeffrey Campbell Charli Platform Clog, available at Free People.com. Oh yes, clogs are coming! Expect more knock offs as the season soldiers on…

Forever 21 has a preview of their swimwear collection called Beauty and the Beach, showcasing bikinis and one-piece bathing suits in colorful prints like florals, stripes, leopard print, tribal and tropical. Something for everyone! The styling is adorable, as are the illustrations of fish, waves and fruity drinks accompanying the photographs. Can't say my pasty winter-self is looking forward to bathing suit season just yet but what the heck, bring it on. More pics after the jump…

The Macy's Spring 2010 Look Book is out, showcasing some of top trends we can expect to see in their ready-to-wear collection. Sequins are back, as are oversized pieces paired with skinny elements. Stripes, florals and what they're calling Afrique-Chic prints all make appearances on tops, skirts and dresses. I'm loving Rachel Rachel Roy's khaki coat paired with a bright blue top as well as that delicious embellished abstract-floral dress from DKNY. The return of canary yellow is also a welcome sign that spring is in the air (somewhere). I'm also impressed by the sophisticated styling, looks more Neiman Marcus than Macy's to me! But of course, with Macy's comes the affordable pricing we prefer. What say you?

What's the perfect complement to Rebecca Minkoff's impossibly chic handbags?* Her fabulous clothing, of course. In her spring 2010 collection, an explosion of colorful pink and red rose prints looked fresh on dresses, skirts and a jacket in unfussy modern silhouettes that offset the girly vibe of the florals. Get your own affordable rose buds on everything from scarves to skirts at stores like H&M, Topshop, Forever 21 and more. You must admit, this would be the perfect trend to rock for Valentine's Day.
