Catherine Malandrino for Kohl's DesigNation Review

Out of curiosity, I stopped into Kohl's for a look at the Catherine Malandrino for DesigNation collection. Despite the lack of fanfare surrounding this collection, I still wanted to see the Parisian-themed pieces, especially after browsing the collection online a few days before the September 27th release.  Warning! If you love like color, then this collection may not appeal to you. If you can

Target Trendspotting - The Crop Top

Crop tops are having their moment in the fashion spotlight. If baring your midriff isn't something you've considered, try pairing one with a high-waisted pencil skirt for a more demure effect.
