Lanvin for H&M in Stores Today!

History will be made today as H&M stores across the U.S. open their doors to reveal the Lanvin for H&M collection, making the luxury fashion label accessible to all for the first time ever.

The buzz about Lanvin for H&M has been building for months, and today savvy shoppers will finally be able to get their hands on the flirty frocks, colorful accessories, and stylish menswear for a fraction of what they'd pay for a Lanvin original.

Score jackets and dresses from $100, or plunk down your credit card and invest in the wildly chic coat pictured for $350. And if those prices are still too rich for your blood, pick up a colorful T-shirt for $40 or a Lanvin for H&M lipstick for just $10. Menswear prices start at $20 for a T-shirt and go up to $300 for a tux. May I suggest this cardigan from the men's line. At $70 it's perfect for layering over skinny jeans and boots. Just belt the thing, roll the sleeves up a taste, add a few bangles and you're good to go.

5 Springtime Flats Under $50

Right now I'm craving anything quick and easy -- from pre-packaged salad to wash 'n' wear hair. Nothing could be quicker, easier, or more stylish than adorable, affordable flats.

Such a fresh color for the season, this flat pairs well with all of spring's essential styles for work and play.




The little girl in me loves these shoes for the bright, candy-like colors; the recessionista in me adores the price!



These shoes have an appealingly preppy look that works well for the office or running around on the weekend.

American Eagle Coco Ruffle Moc, $24.99



I love a shoe that looks sweet but isn't too precious. This flat smartens up denim and knit sundresses.

BC Footwear 'Babycakes' $39.99


Metallic patchwork is surprisingly versatile. These will be cute with spring's safari-inspired looks. Steve Madden 'Kobraa' $49.99

I Heart Ronson at JCPenney

If you haven't been to a JCPenney lately, now's the time to head to the mall, because you don't want to miss out on the seriously cool collection designed by Charlotte Ronson. Available in stores or online at JCPenney.com, the I Heart Ronson™ collection is exclusive to Penney's and comes just in time for spring, with recession-friendly price points you'll love almost as much as the clothes themselves.

Of course, I Heart Ronson™ is just as girly and fun as the designer's eponymous line (which we so adore), especially the vintage-looking denim trouser which retails for $36, or the perfect-for-the-season Spring Dress which goes for $58. Shop now at JCPenney.com!

What I Want: Wooden Accessories

From buttons to bangles, I'm feeling all things wooden for this season and beyond!



A gorgeous clutch from Newport News that works for both day and night.





I'm a huge fan of clogs and a wooden heel and sole makes them even more appealing.






This the perfect piece for any season -- layer it in the winter, then wear it with shorts in the summer!





Don't wait until spring or summer to wear these safari-inspired bangles -- they'll look amazing with winter greys and blacks.



It's a major splurge but this leather and wood from shopbop.com is so worth it!

Shop the Sale at Lulu's

The holiday season may be over, but as far as most retailers are concerned, the shopping season won't be finished until they've cleared out their winter selections to make room for spring's hottest styles, which means deep discounts on cute cold weather essentials. One of the best sales I've found is at Lulus.com -- they've got everything from booties to bags on sale now! Here are a few Style Goodies faves:



Wowza that's a sexy boot!







This sweater is essential for layering in the cold months, but short sleeves make it work for spring too.






This ruffled bag takes girly to another level -- love it!

The color is so elegant and ladylike, but it's the bow that gets all the attention!

MM Couture Bernice Sweater Dress, $71.50 (orig. $95)




These shoes were affordable even before the sale! Perfect with trouser socks and jeans.







I'm wild about the printed winter coats from Soïa & Kyo! This one is equally adorable but much more affordable.
