Shop The Trend: Saturated Sorbets

Rebecca Minkoff MAC Clutch

This light pink Rebecca Minkoff bag offers a fresh take on the original by adding hammered silver studs. The leather handbag features a spring-lock flap at the front pocket with metal feet, silver hardware and a zip main compartment closure.

Damen + Division Rosette Necklace

This double-strand, statement necklace features pink rosettes that lend a feminine feel to the piece, coupled with a single gold bead and other vintage accents. Inspired by Prada's Spring 2012 runway, it looks great with lots of this seasons dresses as well as our blood orange J Brands, McQ Lace top and Rag and Bone Newbury booties.

Rebecca Minkoff Moonstruck Bag

This slouchy pebbled-leather bag features cone studs on the body and handle and a magnetic-snap closure at the front flat with metal logo plate and zip pocket at back. The baby blue color is contrasted by antiqued gold hardware, and the lined interior features zip pockets and two patch pockets.

Equipment Femme Capri Henley

This washed-silk blouse features a fold-over collar and a 6-button closure with a patch pocket at bust and knife pleating at adjustable 3-button cuff. This Henley is a fun departure from your classic button-down blouse, and its dusty turquoise hue flatters any skin tone.

According to Elle Magazine, the Flower Girl trend consists of "bold blossoms in vibrant hues and conspicuous patterns sprung up on the runways, worn head to toe and everywhere else in between."

Designer Showcase: We Are Owls

Contemporary scarf line, We Are Owls, was designed to go beyond accessorizing and practicality, and becomes a reflection of emotions. Emulating the birds of prey, We Are Owls brings us a sense of mystery and make their presence as alluring as it is chilling – as enchanted as it is haunting. The collection carries us into a fantastical world where the lines of distress and desire are blurred. Like its nearly silent counterpart, We Are Owls has caught us off-guard with a stunning collection of carefully developed printed scarves constructed with the finest of cashmere yarns.

Launching in Fall of 2010, We Are Owls was dreamt up by three friends who always put fashion and art in the same sentence. Like the nocturnal owl, the founders find themselves awake at all hours of the night and embrace the beauty within dark obscurities.

When you look at the scarves, its almost as if the patterns express emotions or tell a story. If that sounds crazy, come see for yourself. Check out the We Are Owls now at GAVIN...

The True Love scarf features a combination of red, black, pastel blue, and ivory brush strokes.

The Owl Cage Scarf is a soft, cashmere-gauze scarf with frayed ends, features the image of an owl in a cage.

We Are Owls was featured in Elle.com this summer in their Ultimate Accessories shopping story. The We Are Owls scarf was chosen as one of the 17 best accessories for travel, sport, and more!

We Are Owls was also mentioned in Lucky Magazine as part of the "Lucky Breaks"

Even celebrities are catching on to We Are Owls. Blake Lively and the Kardashian sisters have been seen wearing these incomparable scarves.
