So, again, this is just an extension of an already widely successful designer, but it's fresh enough that it deserves its own "discovery." Poppy is the new collection by the middle school target brand Coach, however it's caught my attention due to it's cutesy and bright aesthetic, with just enough immaturity to keep it from going stale. When I first saw it, I thought back to my middle school days and how I fawned over coach shoes and scarves (I never was and still am not a bag person). Back then, circa five years ago, those items cost almost a hundred dollars! *Gasp* Granted, now I only walk into one in search of some form of nostalgia, I was pleasantly surprised when this attractive new line, Poppy, graced Coach's umbrella name. So, fear the juvenility tied with Coach no longer, because Poppy, outfited with stunning shoes, bags, and this jacket to DIE for, will pull you from your monotonous, grown-up blacks and draw you into a wonderful coexistence of color and class. Let's check it out.

Before we begin, all of the Poppy items are available at the Coach website. The website is quite impressive, although mildly annoying with all the rollover pop ups. However, it's a happy place to shop and much like it's mother label, the prices rarely break four hundred, which in this current state, is a welcomed attribute.

Let's begin with the shoes, shall we?

"I wanted to do shoes which are really just shoes for seduction, for pleasure, for sex. That's it. A shoe, you cannot run, you can't even walk. You want to run in the shoe? Buy sneakers!"

-The Divine Christain Louboutin

"Regardless, we see our changing life mirrored in Lauren Conrad’s exit from The Hills. She’s moving on and distancing herself from the follies of her overexposed youth. She’s all grown-up, which makes us happy for her and, dare we say, just a touch misty."
