The beginnings of spring fashion 2013

Well, its officially spring. I get to come out of my winter hibernation cave, tuck away the heavy trench coats
and look forward to the bright pastels & floral prints this season brings.
...or so I thought till I actually shopped around....

This week H&M unveiled their "Conscious Collection". Bellow are my faves.
(for more visit http://www.hm.com/us/conscious-collection)
All in all, with the commercial and choice in model (Vanessa Paradis : a french singer/ actress. With an unapologetic fierce front teeth gap.) it is a strong and versatile collection.

I love their take on spring this year: A sort of french Alice in wonderland only instead of the original disney wonderland its more of a springtime rainforest/Jungle. Tones of green are sprinkled throughout the collection.

There are some solid quintessential spring colors but, not as pastel as you would think.
The silhouettes are definitely a more casual everyday style which, I could see myself wearing thru the season and into summer. They managed to also mix in some more fashion forward silhouettes and patterns like the green track pants and sort of military style jacket.

The print is a a clever rainforest/Jungle spring floral which is intriguing considering everyone else in fashion tends to lean more towards straight forward floral this season.
Leave it to H&M to stray away from the norms of the season and still pull off a great cohesive collection. :)


I would recommend the maxi and ruffle tops as a spring staple. Whatever you choose you cant go wrong for only $20.00!! or less!!

I ALSO recommend you all head over and pick up your faves asap!
last season I waited too long the maxi dress I wanted was SOLD OUT :(
