Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:03:19 PDT

What happens when a purveyor of all things eclectic joins forces with one of the most whimsical kids' clothing companies? A capsule collection that bohemian mamas will be gathering up faster than you can say Missoni For Target! Since leaving the high-end Ports1961 women's line that she launched and led for six years, Tia Cibani has been focusing her attention on her KicoKids collection of fun, fashionable clothing for kids. Now the designer is introducing a capsule collection for Anthropologie that epitomizes the clothing store's wide-ranging styles. Made for tots ages 2-6, the KicoKids for Antrhopologie pieces - including full skirts, a padded pea coat, and stunning sweater coat - aren't inexpensive, but they'll certainly make a statement every time they're worn. Check out the collection when you click through.

Anthropologie's newly released October catalog shows us covetable Fall must haves and the styling tips to go with them. The selection of colorful wool dresses, chic plaid coats, sweaters, and sweet booties are all perfect options for cold-weather dressing.

We love how the brand manages to twist such classic staples into refreshingly new ways, so before you check out the rest, read our quick Fall styling tips gleaned from the mixmasters themselves.

Add color and warmth to your wardrobe with fun printed knits. We love the idea of a cozy patterned maxi dress for Fall.
Do experiment with Winter white hues via wool trousers or a luxurious sweater.
Green and red can look great together when done right. For the latter, opt for darker shades like wine or persimmon to avoid looking like a Christmas card.

Papier-Mache Animals Heads: Ga Ga or Gag?

LilSugar — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:06:39 PDT

Go safari chic! We've recently spotted so many animal heads in kids' rooms that we think it's safe to call it a trend. Several retailers - like Anthropologie - offer their customers cruelty-free animal head collections as wall decor. Most recently, DwellStudio launched their papier-mache animal head collection - including pastel colored zebras, a gazelle, and a giraffe - as an addition to their wall decor selection for baby! What do you think of the faux taxidermy trend, ga ga or gag?

Trendspotting: The Penny Loafer Pump

OnSugar Blog — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 02:45:53 PDT

Today, OnSugar blogger The Artful Shopper shares her love for one of Fall's hottest shoe trends - the loafer pump. Listen up to what she has to say, then shop her favorite picks!

“In fashion, either you’re in, or you’re out.” In the 6^th grade, I wanted “in” and that meant joining the so-called “Preps” so, I assembled a wardrobe of V-necks, cableknits and Palazzo pants. And one of my most coveted items of them all? Wait for it . . . penny loafers.

Who can forget the novelty of buying their first must-have pair of shoes that all the other kids are wearing? Maybe yours were some pretty heels, or a cushy pair of UGG's, or a stylin’ set of Nike Airs, but penny loafers? Sure, there was the novelty of having big sis help me make them look all shiny, and adding the little charm of a penny, but who can forget the thick, awkward block heel, the unflattering height and the typically dowdy association with straight-laced school marms and perhaps, those least interested in fashion, “Gulp,” nuns?

Here are the Fall tips we've gleaned from this lovely catalog:

Mixing prints always looks eclectic, but totally chic when the color palette is complementary.

Try a chunky necklace to jazz up subtle outfits.

Invest in a tie-neck blouse, fedora, and printed tights to add vintage charm to an outfit.
