Uniqlo’s been featuring a lot of new collaborations lately–many of which are with Japanese and Korean brands I’ve never heard of and all of which are super cute. One example is a Japanese brand called Beautiful People.

The first official day of “spring” is tomorrow. Apparently. (With another snow day yesterday we’re starting to doubt spring will ever come.) Even though the weather is still kind of miserable, we’ve already started our spring shopping lists. Here’s what we’re all craving if warmer weather ever happens. Fingers crossed.
Things are looking groovy–real groovy–at Uniqlo this spring.
The high-street retailer is collaborating with seminal ’60s designer Celia Birtwell on a capsule clothing collection to hit stores in the UK March 21, WWD is reporting.
For those of you who don’t know, Birtwell is one of London’s most iconic textile designers, forever associated with the city’s heady days in the ’60s and ’70s when she, along with her then-husband Ossie Clark, dressed the likes of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful, Jimi Hendrix and more.

Confession: I recently became obsessed with Felicity and just finished all four seasons. In addition to suddenly feeling like Lost make so much more sense now (are Lost and Felicity essentially the same show???) and totally falling for Scott Speedman and the way he says “anything,” I’ve gained some fashion inspo.
When it comes to affordable outerwear options Uniqlo always has my back. So, naturally, when temperatures took a turn for the chilly, I made my way over to the brand’s flagship store in SoHo to scope out the season’s options.
