The pieces from the Wren Spring 2012 collection are exactly the type of casual separates I'd want for my own wardrobe. Easy and breezy with a retro twist, the collection's styles were actually inspired by singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey, whose casual hipster and boho look is making fashion mavens take notice.
The Wren Spring 2012 collection, available Feb. 15, features a slew of laid-back and stylish pieces perfect for casual spring and summer activities like outdoor shopping trips, walks down the boardwalk and drinks on the patio. The palette rests on a vibrant royal blue, which makes an appearance on everything from a pair of wide leg jeans to a sporty hooded jacket. Punchy tropical-hued prints and scarf-inspired patterns also make their mark. Prices range from $63 for the line's simple tees and tanks to $372 for silk dresses, says Racked.
