Sport chic, '60s pop, and colorblocking dominated the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 show, giving us a look at what we’ll really be wearing next season. We’re slightly obsessed with the colorblocked wedges and bold color that dominated sporty shapes, and we’re totally investing in the navy blue jumpsuit. With MMJ muse Elle Fanning in the front row, it's clear what the line is about: youthful, fun clothes to wear from gym class at school to the disco by night. We can already see the ad campaign.

Check Out the Awesome New Minx For Marc Jacobs Nails

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 06:00:00 PDT

Perhaps, you didn't know that Minx and Marc Jacobs were acquainted, but now they've gone and had a One Night Stand. The nail applique innovator and the fashion savant have teamed up on a limited-edition series of stick-ons named after the most heated and transient kind of tryst. Using prints from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 collection, Minx made five cool patterns with everything from metallic panthers to big, colorful flowers.

Unfortunately, quantities are very limited; you'll only be able to get them (as a gift with purchase) at Saks Fifth Avenue during Fashion's Night Out. Let's just hope there are more fun designer collaborations like this in the pipeline - and that they'll be available to fashion lovers everywhere.

Loafers Are Fall's Perfect Transitional Shoe

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:35:28 PDT

Loafers have experienced a major resurgence thanks to designers like Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, and Nicholas Kirkwood, who showed them on their Fall runways - and the trend is only getting stronger. Whether you prefer them stacked or flat, we think they're the perfect transition shoe leading up to chillier weather. For the ultimate nerdy-chic look, pair loafers with cuffed jeans and a blazer for a casual off-duty vibe, or go for extra throwback drama and don them with a tweedy pencil skirt and a flowy tucked-in blouse. Flip through to see our top loafer picks right now from Topshop, Tory Burch, ASOS, and more.
