There are definitely some looks I am interested in, including the red bag on page 17.</p> <p> FYI, I went into my local Talbots this afternoon and was inquiring about if they had received the Look Book yet. They haven't gotten it in the store yet, but one of the sales associates went into the back and came out with a little cardboard version of it with 8 of the looks. There is a coupon for $50.00 off a $150.00 merchandise purchase on the last page, valid Feb. 1st through the 15th. I'm not sure if they are planning on mailing these out, but if you are planning on buying any of the spring looks, it would be worthwhile to ask if they have these booklets at your store.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116873 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:02:23 +0000 Dusty 116873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE some of that. Specifically pages 5 (except not cropped), 20, 59 and 63. I have a feeling it's all out of my league price-wise, but I think I can copy the "looks" rather easily and stay within budget. I may have to pop in there sometime and try some of that on and see what I need to copy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116819 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:04:37 +0000 stylemama 116819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't been in Talbot's in over a year - even though it's across the parking lot from my store. Based on the lookbook, I'll have to check it out. Cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116613 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:57:40 +0000 April 116613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often find all the problems cited above with Talbots, but since I am not adept at putting together outfits, I love all these examples of complete "looks." </p> <p>I am more petite in the hip area than in the shoulders, so I can definitely wear their jackets if I get the waist nipped in a bit. And when you find something there that does fit, it tends to be beautifully made. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116523 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:41:45 +0000 rae 116523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the cropped pants are too short. I don't like scrunch, but I don't like the calf-slappers, either. </p> <p>Still, I need some white pants, stat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116514 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:19:19 +0000 Angie 116514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Divine! (Bar the cropped cigarette pants). You're sized out if you wear a very small size, though. But excellent inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116407 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:18:50 +0000 Karianne 116407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I live in Norway I have never visited a Talbot's store, but I do find several of the looks in the lookbook really inspiring! I would personally use a shorter length, narrow capri pant instead of the ancle-length pants, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116396 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:21:35 +0000 Laura 116396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, you're right, it really is a 1985 time warp in that store! Now I love preppy pink and green as much as the next girl, but that store is matronly preppy to the max (to coin a preppy phrase). I just keep wondering if Talbots management ever visits that store, and if so, do the employees freak out and put out the lookbook outfits, then rearrange everything into matronly preppydom when management leaves??</p> <p>April, thanks for posting the lookbook. It makes me long for spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116375 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:40:21 +0000 RoseandJoan 116375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks April, although not in the US and therefore unable to shop at talbots I loved some of the styling ideas. My favourite look is on page 49 (aside from the cropped jeans) I loved the nautical navy and white striped tee, with the bottle green jacket and contrasting (both in colour and style) scarf.</p> <p>I'm loving the printed pencil skirts and the leather jacket on page 2 is calling my name. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116347 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:50:33 +0000 shana 116347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks gorgeous in the catalog but I was not too impressed with many of the fall pieces in real life. I found many of them were boxy &amp; unflattering (in a typical Talbots way). The lookbook is awesome though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116321 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 02:16:02 +0000 Queen Mum 116321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the pink jacket on page ? 40something I think... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116264 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:55:49 +0000 Kristen 116264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, OMG that Talbots is like preppy Teflon, isn't it? It doesn't matter what new styles Talbots is trying to put out, that particular store still manages to display everything as if we were frozen in 1985. </p> <p>I have to confess, I am currently obsessed with mustard yellow and girly pink together, and there were a couple of outfits in this lookbook that made my obsession perk up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116262 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:32:52 +0000 Laura 116262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are those narrow, ankle-length pants what everyone is calling cigarette pants? I hope not!! I had envisioned cigarette pants as full-length and was hoping that cigarette pants, woven shirts and scarves with flats could be my Audrey Hepburn-inspired spring look. Ankle length will pretty much kill that dream ...</p> <p>Unfortunately, our local Talbots always manages to take the beautiful, inspiring lookbook and turn it into something unrecognizable. It's almost like someone's trying to sabotage the new Talbots -- it's quite uncanny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116254 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:10:43 +0000 medusa 116254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! My favorites are on pages: 1, 10, 11, 29, 48 - really like this one.</p> <p>But what's the deal with the ankle-length pants? I'm not loving that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116250 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:49:14 +0000 taylor 116250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks April...visuals are always helpful and inspiring:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-spring-lookbook#post-116215 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:28:57 +0000 April 116215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this almost as inspiring as the one from last fall:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.talbots.com/online/ecatalog/catalog.jsp?sku=2010SprLookBook&#038;catheader=Look%20Book" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/online.....ook%20Book</a> </p>
