Style News: Mango Releases a Romantic Summer Lookbook

Mango's “Romantic Essence” summer lookbook features super soft palettes and pieces with a relaxed fit. It's definitely a very contemporary collection--perfect for the woman in her 20s or 30s who wants something timeless and classic. Since I'm pretty much obsessed with neutrals (I love a good beige and a soft ivory!), this collection speaks absolute volumes to me. I'm thinking this could be my absolute favorite summer lookbook released so far! Props to Mango! 

Enjoy the full collection below.

Style News: H&M Spring Lookbook

H&M's spring looks are here, but unlike most H&M collections I'm not completely obsessed with the whole thing. Model Frida Gustavsson wears pieces from their latest style book, featuring foulard prints, denim and lace along with fringe-adorned and gold jewelry.

There are several looks that I love from the collection, but overall it is just a bit lackluster to me considering what I've seen from H&M in the past. I'm not crazy about the purple tube top that makes two cameos in the lookbook. I love the location, but I think the styling could've been amped up a bit. 

See the entire collection below.

My favorite look is above. Which look is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

Friday Favorites: Forever 21 Festival 2013 Collection Featuring Sky Ferreira

Forever 21 tapped Sky for their whimsical new Festival 2013 Capsule Collection! The collection includes all of your festival wants and needs like dip-dye denim, lace-up details, studded embellishments, crochet, bold colors and patterns, crop tops, desert ready sheer styles, and bandeaus. 

As a Visual Merchandise at Forever 21, I am pretty excited about the launch and I hope our smaller store gets a good bit of the colleciton, especially since the music festival queen is the face of the campaign! It launches in stores on March 22, just in time for you to begin prepping for Coachella, and the pricepoints range from $4.80 to $39.80. 

What are your thoughts on the collection? Let me know in the comments below!
