Fashion Week: Spring 2013 RTW Collections

Well dolls, it's that time again.  Time to wish you a "Happy Fashion Week"!  Now is the time to get the scoop on what the fashion trends will be for Spring.  Sure, we've barely begun to feel the fall chill and haven't even taken our jackets and boots out of storage, but these styles for Spring energize us and give us something to look forward to while we suffer through the cold of Winter.  So, what are the trends?  Well, it looks like we're seeing a great deal of harness type styles that look a little bit bondage-like, but are softened up with loose, flowy fabrics!  We're also seeing lots of feminine, vintage type patterns like brocade in soft colors and metallics, pretty belts and bows, and lace is still very popular for Spring 2013.  Anyway, here are a handful of our favorite collections so far in no particular order:

Badgley Mischka

Marc Jacobs

BCBG

Carmen Marc Valvo

Lela Rose

Vera Wang

Jason Wu

Jason Wu for Target

As we get ready to kick off Fashion Week in NYC, we regret to admit that we may have missed the boat on a lovely and affordable line from one of our favorite designers. Launched this past Sunday, the Jason Wu line for Target has been flying off the shelves.  In fact, in our trip to Target today we found that most of the styles were completely wiped out with just a few less popular sizes left.  Lucky for you you can still get some of the styles online, but you'd better hurry because one item even disappeared from our cart before we had time to check out. The designer's line for Target is all priced at under $60 and is a very chic and feminine collection complete with full dresses, pleated skirts, lace, and bows. The Target by Jen is expecting a shipment anytime from tomorrow to Tuesday so she'll be anxiously waiting to try to snatch up that navy blue poplin dress.  Check out that and some of our other favorites below:
