Shop Kmart's Spring Looks Under $100 from Facebook

Shop the four looks you see here from head to toe for under $100 on Kmart's Facebook page.

Did you know you can shop Kmart fashion and home decor items right from their Facebook page? I learned this exciting tidbit by following Kmart Design on Twitter. I gotta say, the Facebook app is very cool and easy to use. I'd love to see a Kmart microsite dedicated to all their latest fashion and home stuff along the same lines. Are you a fan of Kmart on Facebook? What do you think of their spring styles so far?

LOFT Spring 2010 Lookbook

The LOFT Spring 2010 Lookbook has been out a little while now and it's garnering mixed reviews from Facebook fans. As LOFT sheds its former "stuffy" self and the Ann Taylor Loft name, the company is trying to move in a more fashion forward direction and the lookbook is a prime example. I personally love it (very Anthropologie meets J. Crew) but I can see how LOFT's loyal customers might be annoyed. The socks with sandals, shorts with heels, mad layering—it's all a bit tough to pull off and geared to more adventurous dressers. But as far as being a great source of beauty and inspiration, I think they've succeeded. Definitely makes me want to shop there more often! How about you, do you like the direction LOFT is heading? Keep reading to see the complete collection, most pieces are under $100 and you can shop it online now at www.LOFTonline.com.

Simply Vera Vera Wang for Kohl's Spring 2010 Lookbook

The Simply Vera Vera Wang for Kohl's Spring 2010 collection lookbook is out, showcasing designer Vera Wang's affordable collection of contemporary apparel, jewelry, handbags and shoes with an artful edge. Happy colors like coral, purple, teal and yellow play on dresses, tunics and tops, along with floral and brushstroke prints, which contrast nicely with basic blacks. Leggings are always a big part of Vera's collections but there are some cropped pants, jeans and denim trousers to choose from, too. Most of these pieces are already available in stores and at kohls.com, so you may have seen or shopped them already (hopefully on sale!). I love the sequin tank tunic, thought it looked really luxe in person. I'm also a big fan of all the chunk chain jewelry (not loving the cheesy flower jewelry so much). I just wish they'd step up the quality of the bags, considering the steep prices. Which pieces do you love? Keep reading to see the whole collection!

Yesterday I went trigger happy with my camera to capture all the latest spring shoe styles at Target. Trends run the gamut: Floral details, pink, metallics, cork wedges, wood heels, gladiator flats, and yes, clog-inspired styles! There are also colorful flip-flops for spring break, Birkenstock knock-offs and funky rain boots for battling spring showers in style. Which styles are you loving? Have you bought anything yet or are you holding out for something else? Keep reading for a ton more photos!

JCPenney Discover Spring Style Event

Last Tuesday I attended the JCPenney Discover Spring Style event at the Lincoln Center in New York City to see highlights from the upcoming spring fashion collections. Celebrity designers in attendance included Cindy Crawford (Cindy Crawford Style), Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (Olsenboye), Michele Bohbot (Bisou Bisou), Charlotte Ronson (I Heart Ronson) and Nicole Miller (Nicole by Nicole Miller). You could tell that the crowd (myself included) was thrilled to see Cindy and the Olsens briefly introduce their collections before models took to the runway to showcase the latest trends: Modern safari, brights, florals, lots of denim and bold accessories. Celebrity hoopla aside, I think JCP offers a lot of affordable, stylish pieces to get excited about this season. My favorite piece was a pink dress with a giant side ruffle, hands down! What do you think about the latest spring offerings? Have you shopped JCP yet? Keep reading to see all the looks!
