Luck of the Irish

Here in Karmaloop’s hometown Boston, St. Patty’s Day is a HUGE deal. Parades, booze, shamrocks, corned beef and cabbage all call for a perfect opportunity to flaunt your best green get-up. Get in the “Erin Go Bragh!” spirit by creating your own holiday look with our festive picks.

While you might not find the elusive 4-leaf clover, you can pick up Obey’s dainty Clover Flower Ring. Rock the iconic scally cap with Brixton’s Hooligan Cap. Stay warm in the Pot O Gold Hoody from Apliiq or the Easy Rider Rugby from Married to the Mob. Anchor your look with a simple pop of color from Converse’s Chuck Taylor Lo in Kelly Green.

Splurge vs. Save: The Lace Up Peep Toe Boot

Here’s a pretty basic formula: Peep toes + lace up + perforated leather = a fabulous shoe to carry you into spring. Opt for the Syd Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell and save yourself some $$$ to buy a cute dress and complete the look.

Attention McQueen (& Hellz) Lovers!

Nitro:licious introduced us to this limited edition unisex Hellz Long Live McQueen T-shirt honoring fashion’s most recent loss, the extremely influential and awe inspiring Alexander McQueen. Check out the $40 shirt at the Hellz online boutique…not only will you be commemorating McQueen’s legacy but a portion of the T-shirt’s proceeds will go to the WHAT EVER IT TAKES foundation he supported.

Spring Sunglasses

Let’s ignore the fact that for many of us it’s still bleak and gray out. Revolt against Punxsutawney Phil’s bogus prediction for a long winter and get your peepers ready for spring with Karmaloop’s fresh crop of sunglasses.

Check out the Gals in Summer Safari by Super, the Skitch Sunglasses in Black Satin by VonZipper, the Dumb Flip Up Sunglasses in Pink & White by Dumb, the Hagen Sunglasses in Gold/Blue Silver Mirror by Mosley Tribes, and the Lucia in Summer Safari Puma Sunglasses by Super.

Wildfox is Glamour-ous

Posh is rocking a Wildfox tee on the March cover of Glamour. Get the same relaxed colorful look with the rest of Wildfox’s spring collection at Karmaloop.

Walk Like An Egyptian

Like the pyramid stud craze? Flaunt it like a queen and you might snag yourself a Pharaoh hottie. Get the look for less with Han Cholo’s 3 Row Spikes Bracelet in gold.

Future Hair Trend?

Spotted: models at the Cheap Monday Autumn/Winter 2010 show in Stockholm walking the runway with a very strange hairdo complementing their standard black, white and neutral tones. This fad is weird huh? While we don’t recommend running to the nearest salon for a gray pompadour just yet, we highly suggest checking out Cheap Monday’s current spring collection at Karmaloop.

Hot Mess

The distressed denim look is definitely still turning heads, and to prove it Karmaloop has several different ways to rock the intentional “oops!” from flirty styles to edgier ones. Try out the Tight Jean in Splash by Cheap Monday, the Wine Stain Dress by Obey, the Thrasher Cut Off Shorts by Kill City, and the Denim Sweetheart Dress in Bleach Tie Dye by Rojas.

Babes

Just stumbled upon some disturbingly stylish kids from Jean Paul Gaultier’s new childrens’ collection. It’s cute when kids’ clothes are on point with plaid, knits, and animal print…but don’t you agree that these particular looks are a little creepy, no wait, a lot creepy? How are they supposed to play tag in those threads? Hit up Karmaloop to get the little ones in your life decked out in equally sharp but more age-appropriate onesies from Pre.K Apparel. Check out the Kinder Keffiyeh Onesie and the Tux Onesie.

More Spring Trends From the Runway to Your Closet

As you probably know, floral prints are popping up everywhere for spring and animal prints will still be hot this season. Dolce & Gabbana featured both, and lucky for those of us on a budget – so does Joyrich Spring/Summer 2010. Next up we have a great combo of the military and jumpsuit/romper trend in the We The Free Moto Jumpsuit by Free People. Last but not least, clogs made a huge impression at Chanel’s show and fashion bloggers are really hyping up the look. Get your fix with the Charli Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell.

Soft nudes and cheerful colors will also feel right at home this spring…but if there is just one trend you take away from it all, make sure you mix prints. The warmer months up ahead favor the bold and daring!
