Rag and Bone Reveals Pre-Fall Collection

Rag & Bone have released their pre-fall 2012 collection, and first things first: No set theme is present. In fact, Marcus Wainwright gave it a straightforward description, "It's just clothes for how our girl really dresses."

The look book is a series of shots in front of the R & B office elevator shaft, complete with red leather numbers and embellished belts, as well as black and blue accessories.

Lot of skirts and dresses are present, complete with a lot of eccentric accessorizing, making each look all its own and distinguishable among the group. We fancy this idea of steering clear of a specific theme and just focusing on the fashion of real-girl likings.

From head wraps to booties and heels to classy jackets, we feel like everything you could ever need is right here in this collection. How perfect. We know where we'll be shopping come fall 2012.

Showing A Little Bit More

The trend of sheer may not be for everyone, but for the select people that can pull it off, it is a trend that will hit its peak this spring. For the ones that are skeptical of this trend, it can be adapted to suit any style.

There are several aspects to this look. First, the length plays an important role. The length of the skirt should be basically to the floor. The fact that the skirt is sheer makes the legs completely visible, adding length to the silhouette no matter how long the skirt is. The second factor is the slip. It can really be made to cover whatever you would like to cover. It can cover just your abdomen or it can go down even lower. Third is the amount of sheer on top if you choose a dress. This is a good place to start for someone weary of the trend. By having the top a little sheer, you are showing skin while still retaining a sense of modesty. Lastly the most important element is the details. Some dresses feature everything from beading, to fringe, to lace like this BCBG dress. No matter the details, make sure there is something to draw attention to the fabric, just make sure it is the right attention.

Trending: Max Out for Spring

Seventies hippie and nineties grunge collide this spring as a flurry of maxi skirts and dresses will surely pop up on the sunshine-paved streets. You no longer have to pick between sundresses, shorts and mini-skirts to celebrate the season. If you're like me, who doesn't plan on emptying my local drugstore's supply of shaving cream, lightweight ankle-length skirts and dresses are just what you need to add comfortably breezy options to your wardrobe that will last through summer.

Wear maxi dresses with tough accessories, cropped tops and open-toed booties with long skirts. Shorties (because not all of us are supermodels) can opt for sheer alternatives to show glimmers of skin. With these babies added to the game, getting dressed in the morning just got a little more interesting. Oh and don't worry, these picks won't make you look like a pilgrim lost in time.

Flower Power!

Okay...so it may seem floral patterns manage to pop up everywhere once the sun starts to shine. Yes, it's spring, almost summer, and, yet again, those floral patterns are appearing. Although this year it’s bigger than ever!

Our wardrobes are always dominated by what’s big on the catwalk, and this year Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana have floral patterns written all over them. If you haven’t yet topped off that tan enough to wear your favorite new dress, just add a floral print bag or hat for now, at least until your legs are ready to hit the streets.

It is about time to visit the shops and grab some flirty feminine floral print clothes! You may be thinking if it’s everywhere why would I want the same, just to blend into the crowd. If that’s the case, choose bold and bright; you’ll be sure to stand out.

French Connection has a great range of all things floral, and the prices aren't too bad either. With skirts starting from $79.99 and dresses ranging from $98.99 to $248, it's time to grab a floral bargain!
