Madewell's Spring '12 collection quickly made its way to the top of our must-have list as soon as we laid eyes on it. But to add some serious lust into the mix, the brand just revealed a mini lookbook with its most colorfully jazzed-up stylings. Of course, we're enamored with the vibrant suggestions, but to keep our impending wardrobe refresh streamlined and manageable, we've culled our top six punched-up looks to copy as soon as the weather allows it. Click through now to see which Madewell looks are too bold and bright to pass up.

Simply labeled Collection, it's touted as J.Crew's most "to-die-for designs." Every season, the brand whips up a limited-edition lineup of luxe pieces that embody J.Crew's casual, cool ethos in a plethora of plush fabrics and high-end materials. While the rainbow-hued Spring '12 styles are totally covetable, the three-digit price tags aren't always ideal. A satin-faced silk sweatshirt and nautical-inspired tea-length skirt are certainly worth the investment, but a sequined cami and pencil skirt combo? Not so much. Click through to peruse J.Crew's newest Collection pieces and see which items are must-haves and which are better left on the rack.

Alice + Olivia's Spring '12 collection is an ultra-feminine mix of flowy separates and expertly draped dresses — and we can't help but think we've happened upon a whimsical Alice in Wonderland garden tea party. We're particularly taken with the shimmery metallic minis, long pastel-hued frocks, and wide leg printed pants for all our future warm weather outings. The line sticks to Spring's go-to light color palette: silvers, whites, minty greens, pale blues, canary yellows, and girlie pink tones. And it presents our favorite ladylike silhouettes, including the peplum pop, drop-waist details, and super-sexy sheer cutouts. Read below for our must-have items, then click through to see the Spring collection in full.

• Every girl should have a LWD like this one. Its flirty mashup of sheer, lace, and fringe combines sweet dressing elements into one subtly sexy look.
• We're loving the overflow of pastels and this sweet spearmint maxi is no exception. Let these Spring-specific shades speak for themselves — a simple cinch, nude wedges, and a romantic updo are all you need to complement Alice + Olivia's designs.
• You can never go wrong with a gorgeous print. Whether it's animal-inspired or floral-heavy, these seasonless patterns can easily translate into fun layering pieces for those outfit drama days.

>> In H&M's Summer 2012 collection — modeled by Frida Gustavsson — '50s sporty gets a hint of modern pinup appeal. There's even a nice dose of colorblock and a pretty pink peplum thrown in for good measure. But our favorite pieces? The high-shine track jackets that just scream Greased Lightning-cool.

Upping the cool factor of a label we already love, Tibi tapped Wonderland Magazine editor and street-style pro Julia Sarr-Jamois to star in the label's Spring '12 campaign.

The color-injected pieces — even ones with hints of leather — are just the thing you expect the editor to sport in her own day to day. And she's not the only style-setter with a thing for Tibi — the brand's celebrity clientele includes favorites like Olivia Palermo. Step inside to get a glimpse of the latest campaign and see just why we're gushing over Tibi and its Spring It girl.
