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?
These patent flats are just darling and come in two other colors as well, however these are the one's I'd choose. At $158.00, I think Blair Waldorf would approve.
These I just LOVE! Can you visualize this brightening up a pair of skinny jeans or a cute solid dress? For $138.00, I can. These also come in three other slightly less cool prints/colors.
Like I said, bag's fail to seduce me unlike the ill fate of so many others, however this bag is so bumblebee-summer-cute, I had to spotlight it. This one goes for $298.00, so if it speaks to you, it's not an entirely gasp-worthy bank breaker, but I'm not THAT into it.
I usually adore trash-tastic from afar, but I love my metallics. This bag, from it's shape to the sequins to the purple lining, is too beautiful to just look. It's everything the Hannah Montana inside of me wants to be, and I'm willing to embrace it. But buy it? For $398.00, probably not.
Last, but most certainly not least, this gorgeous jacket is what drew me to the Poppy line to begin with. Hiding within the pages of Instyle, it was one of the spotlights of their article featuring Poppy, and I fell in love. I have always sought after Coach jackets, nearly swindling my parents into getting me one of my own; a feat for which I reluctantly accepted defeat. However this one is just so divine I will for sure purchase this. But at another $398.00, it will probably be for my fall wardrobe.
On a side note and speaking of extension collections, Juicy Couture's "Bird" collection, which is an edgier version of their candy colored confections that I love, will finally be hitting stores at a specified date.
Elle.com claims that at a number of mentioned retailers, expect to empty your pockets mid July. The line is rarely pictured other than the infamous feathered cape thing in the article, but I found a PDF from JuicyCouture.com herself of a Harper's Bazzar article featuring the new-ish brand.
For your viewing pleasure, and the lovely military jacket on the left is mine if I ever lay my eyes on it.

UGH that jacket is adorable. I've become obsessed with jackets lately, it's terrible. Mainly because it's summer and jackets should be the last thing on my mind, and also because I don't get paid for an ungodly amount of time.
The other day Hanna and I were walking around Beacon Hill and we saw this ADORABLE red jacket with frills and a double breast etc., etc., it was amazing and I wanted it so badly.
