London Spring 2012: Margaret Howell

Margaret Howell’s spring collection had a decidedly nautical bent, which doesn’t work for me as I feel like I’m wearing a costume. Not to worry, though: there were enough classic Margaret Howell looks to ensure I’ll be eagerly anticipating spring’s arrival. I’m especially taken with her deftly paired khaki ensembles: I think it’s the smidgen of black that makes it work. See the full collection at VogueUK. (And good news: looks like La Garçonne will soon be carrying the line. Hooray for us Yanks.)
