This week the links are all about breakups, cover-ups, and the relationships that just take WORK.

+Fashion’s Night Out ended its four-year love affair with NYC because, apparently, it was just all give and no take.

+A blonde Jennifer Lawrence was almost ubiquitous this awards season, but she's returned to a decidedly darker and more eherm Katniss-y 'do because, you know, on to the next one!
{via InStyle}

+An Iranian news agency photoshopped FLOTUS Michelle Obama’s Oscars dress in order to make it appear more modest. But at least they understand the merits of a charming crew neck and cap sleeves!
{via Jezebel}

+Mobile retail trucks (aka stores on wheels) are on the outs with lawmakers in San Francisco because they are, well, illegal.
{Racked San Francisco}

+And finally, does Cara Delevingne have plans to leave modeling for another, truer love? Oh, my body's saying let's go, but my heart is saying...why nawt.

This week’s headlines are all about historical movements. Bill and Ted, eat your heart out.

+Beads and burgundy velvet at Marios Schwab Fall 2013 do not a Renaissance faire make. But they might as well.
{via Refinery 29}

+Did you know that Impressionist painters were the original street-style photographers? I mean, who wouldn't love to see Monet's take on the Man Repeller?
{via Style.com}

+ Wood Wood's "3rd Movement" collection is 1) excellent and 2) inspired by the respective American and British Summers of Love. Indeed, dip-dye jobs and flower prints will have you invariably humming, "If you are going to San Fran..."
{via Hypebeast}

+A new Punk exhibit at the Met showcases how Chanel and Versace incorporated mohawks and bondage straps into their aesthetic vocabulary. And there's a story behind why the exhibit will be extended to roughly 100 days...
{via Women's Wear Daily}

+Happy belated birthday, Cindy Crawford! We salute you and your supermodel comrades from that eponymous (and let's face it, enormously pivotal) era.

Karlie's Kookies

These are the simple bare necessities.

+ Just when we thought Karlie Kloss couldn't outclass her own charm, she made a Karlie's Kookie-baking/80s-inspired workout video and simultaneously proved that, yes, those two things can coexist.
{via Fashionista}

+ On this Feast of St. Valentine, a Dallas chocolatier positively leveled the competition with delectable designer shoe creations. Naturally, her most popular items happen to have red soles.
{via Racked National}

+ Cynthia Rowley debuted a new venture at her Fall 2013 show this week and it's, SURPRISE, a line of delicious sweets that are just as quirky and fanciful as you'd imagine them to be.
{via Refinery 29}

+ Reed Krakoff teamed up with famous French pâtisserie Ladurée (responsible for all the delicious cake that Marie Antoinette "let them eat" in Sofia Coppola's 2006 film) to create some shmancy macarons. They'll be at Krakoff's NYC store until end of Fashion Week (ALERT: TODAY), so giddy up!
{via Styleite}

+ And finally, House of Style alumna Stephanie Seymour sets the record straight on the curious asparagus that appeared alongside her in Jason Wu’s Spring 2013 campaign. Hmm.

Karen Walker for Anthropologie

Ah, the absolute nadir of winter. A time wherein dreams of iced coffee and Vitamin D could NOT be any more tantalizing. The fashion world knows our strife, and knows we're try'na escape!

+ Karen Walker's newest capsule collection for Anthropologie is an ode to anchors, bowlines, and all things nautical. One of our favorite Made In Kind collabs, Walker says this collection is "inspired by Victorian seaside holidays," and isn't the sound of it just magnificent?
{via Anthropologie}

+ Remember how Mary Katrantzou's Spring '13 line was all about travel motifs, passport stamps and continent-hopping? Now her iconic prints come in the form of jeans, shorts and jackets c/o her latest collab with Current/Elliot.
{via Refinery 29}

+ Kendall Conrad's Spring '13 accessories line channels the free spirit of the sea with simple, functional elegance. The Santa Barbara designer nails it with muted colors of faded wood and sea foam, creating pieces that are perfect for lovers of the sun, sand, and staples.
{via Fashionologie}

+ Rebecca Minkoff takes cues from the best coast as she teases her Spring ’13 campaign, which stars Hilary Rhoda and an unjustly stunning California backdrop.
{via Women's Wear Daily}

+ Saturdays Surf NYC team up with Colette to create a unisex (! Saturdays is usually reserved for dudes) and delightfully polka-dotted beach line that basically demands we pick up and go. PEAYCE.

Naomi Campbell

Even if that delightfully unseasonal weather has you all "spring forward," this week we're uncovering some gems from yesteryear.

+Naomi Campbell reminds us that actual supermodels, not celebrities, used to dominate the covers of fashion mags (think: House of Style era). It's apparently time to restore some order.
{via Coco Perez}

+From Grace Farady to Bonnie Parker, these are the most glamorous (fictional) gangster girlfriends that pillage can buy!
{via Racked}

+Did you know that until the early 18th century, high heels were a DUDE's fashion? Lolz.
{via Jezebel}

+With two clothing lines to her name, Lauren Conrad tells us how she really feels about those denim capris from her Laguna Beach days.

+Once upon a time, Coco Chanel met the diamond and, casually, redefined the world's most precious gem. What have YOU done today?

Ke$ha

Doth our eyes deceive? This week, a few style stars bear striking similarities to things, well, not themselves. Intentional or not, we're calling them out!

+Ke$ha attended an inaugural charity event in a patriotic Paul & Joe pantsuit, which just happened to be spangled with blue sequin stars, include a bedazzled headpiece and expressly bring to mind Wonder Woman.
{via Just Jared}

+Willow Smith ran some errands in a draping black leather ensemble and is apparently Neo's protégé. Who knows, whipping one's hair back and forth COULD be the new Matrix move?!
{via Oh No They Didn't!}

+Catherine Zeta Jones stepped off a plane looking like a straight up Pilgrim. Buckle hat and all.
{via Coco Perez}

+ Katy Perry channeled a seksi (but not TOO seksi!) Uncle Sam in a Johnny Wujek creation that she wore for the Kids' Inaugural Concert in Washington, DC.
{Us Weekly}

+Kerry Washington also hit up the nation's capital, but appeared curiously international in a red tartan dress. Fer real though, only she could resemble a Walker’s Shortbread box and still look flawless.
{The Cut}

+ And Adam Levine, you deserve a moment of pondering because...we don’t even know. You're a Hershey Kiss alien who got attacked by paint balls and only lives once?

Even though we're keenly aware that the collision of fashion and technology is nothing new (think: Nike Fuel Bands, the Google Glass, and, notably, Snooki’s “fashion you can hear”), this week we swept the tech-minded corners of the interwebs and found some of the latest, greatest, and totally wackadoodle projects in high-tech fashion!

+Behold Shapeways, the 3D printing marketplace that facilitates manufacturing of YOUR great ideas by simply uploading a design file. Check out the mind-blowing video in the link, and get to steppin' on your own best-friend necklaces, sunglasses, Gothic candelabra, whatever!
{via The Creators Project}

+IBM released an algorithm that predicts steampunk will be a major force in the future of fashion. I mean, Bieber's rocked it before (and we respect his stewardship), but we can't reaaaally imagine clocks, pipes, and moving gears dominating the runway.
{via Refinery 29}

+The world's first fashion hackathon O_O is coming to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Top engineers will compete to create a digital concept (perhaps an app?!) for the industry. Can't wait to see THIS crowd brush shoulders with the fashion week regulars!
{via Decoded Fashion}

+Burberry's flagship store in London boasts some crazy tech: the world's tallest retail screen, 550 hidden speakers, screens that turn into mirrors, and a hydraulic stage (for impromptu in-store gigs, of course). Guess you can teach old brands new tricks?
{via The Guardian}

+This year's Consumer Electronics Show showcased I'm Here, a GPS tracker connected to social media platforms and small enough to fit on your clothing. Great for losing a sock, not so great for a losing a stalker.

With the impending hysteria of the Fall/Winter 2013 collections, it's high time we remember that fashion ain’t all that serious!

+Ryan Lochte inked a reality series deal with E! this week, prompting whispers on the street that his fashion line is, jeah, a real thing. It's set to consist of shoes and "glitzy" accessories. Jawesome.
{via Entertainmentwise}

+Even with unparalleled red-carpet game, Emma Stone thinks it's hilarious that Vogue named her the best-dressed gal of 2012. It's all about the LAWLS.
{via Coco Perez}

+Jerry Seinfeld sacrifices his trademark white sneakers for the dear Mrs., who finds them "jarring."
{via The Cut}

+Check out this tri-colored Jason Wu bag that totally looks like a Poké Ball. Chalk it up to coincidence, but for $1700 it better come with a Charizard and Mewtwo!!
{via Refinery 29}

+Model David Gandy launched “Blue Steel Appeal" this week as a part of the UK charity Red Nose Day 2013. His announcement came complete with a screening of Zoolander and plenty of pouting.

The fashion world welcomes 2013 by stepping out in more ways than one!

+ Rihanna bikes in the woods, frolics on the beach, and trots around on a horse in a tourism commercial for her native Barbados. HIP HIP, on an iiiisland in the sunnn...
{via Huffington Post}

+ Clover Canyon's Spring '13 collection positively STUNS with near kaleidoscopic colors and prints that channel the alfresco beauty of the brand's California home. Each piece leaves something to unpack, but is still so wearable and we wish we had a billion $$$ to buy it all.
{via Clover Canyon}

+ It might not be a cliff in the outdoorsy sense, but you've likely heard the term "fiscal cliff" floating around for a few weeks. What does it mean for the fashion world? (Also, just what does it mean, period?)

Here at MTV Style, we're not under any pretense that the fashion world is shy. But this week it seems like no one wants to hold their tongue!

+ Mick Jagger is a "dandelion," according to André Leon Talley. In his review of The Rolling Stones’ 50th Anniversary concert, the Vogue editor-at-large (amusingly) waxes poetic on the front man's iconic stage presence.

+ Lena Dunham was just crowned 2012's Coolest Person of the Year, but apparently America's Next Top Model winner Laura James tried to nominate herself?

{via Women's Wear Daily}

+ Aaanddd James Franco has just announced that he will be releasing a SECOND book of poetry, entitled Directing Herbert White. The collection apparently takes its title from a poem that Franco composed about a short film he wrote based on a poem by Frank Bidart... Giddy up!
