JCPenney

Starting today, Joe Fresh clothing is available in JCPenney stores around the country — and on jcp.com — making the affordable Canadian retailer's wares that much easier to access. Prior to this two-part launch, Joe Fresh was only shoppable in the New York and New Jersey areas, but with the start of this partnership, it's slated to be sold in up to 683 JCPenney locations nationwide. The contemporary, on-point pieces range from $4 to $249, and from the look of this Spring '13 lineup, there's something for the preppier girl, the breezy dress-wearing style-setter, and the more polished 9-to-5 sophisticate. Click on for our favorites, and then shop the collection straight from the source.

In case you missed it, JCPenney's first designer collaboration with Nigerian-born talent Duro Olowu is on shelves all over the country. And while the pieces in it range in price from $10 to $90, the designer says he created it the same way he designs the clothing for his eponymous brand.

"I treated it like a collection," Olowu says of the offering, which features his signature mashup of riotous prints, wild colors, and fresh shapes applied to clothing, shoes, and accessories, as well as home goods, notebooks, and luggage. "All the details you normally find on my clothing, you have here," the designer explains, and, indeed, buttons and closures come emblazoned with the designer's logo, and bags and accessories were designed with the help of the designer's friends Iris Apfel and Bella Foster.

Our Spring shopping itch has taken a turn for the worse thanks to Duro Olowu's newly debuted collection for JCPenney. With bright statement prints and bold colors aplenty, the designer — whose wares have been worn by First Lady Michelle Obama — created a collection filled with covetable (and affordable!) pieces to add to your Spring arsenal. "I wanted to create looks that were based on my ideas of American classics, all with a global flair," Olowu told us. "I think America already has a tradition of classics — the perfect pants, the perfect trench coat — and I wanted to give it that extra oomph." The extensive lineup features clothes, shoes, accessories, and housewares all priced under $100. It doesn't get any better than that, folks. Peruse the lookbook in the slideshow, then click over to jcp and get shopping.

Prom-dress shopping just got a little easier, thanks to the debut of Pearl by Georgina Chapman of Marchesa. The lower-priced eveningwear line — sold exclusively at JCPenney — features floor-length gowns (some adorned with fishtail hems, thigh-high slits, and sequined detailing); party dresses that prove fun, flirty, and, for the most part, very ruffled; and to balance it all out, there are a few casual pieces, too. The best part? Every item is priced below $250. The line, which certainly borrows from the Marchesa mantra of feminine glamour, offers up a more youthful take on cocktail fare. Let's not waste a moment more — take a sneak peek at the Pearl by Georgina Chapman of Marchesa collection here, then shop it all here!
