With so many fresh items popping up each day, OC's stylist Daria brings you her favorites in her new column, THIS JUST IN.
If all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too? Well, in the context of color-blocking, it seems that most designers answered "yes" for Spring/Summer '12. Some of our favorite brands like Kenzo, OC, Swear, and Peter Jensen, and even brands not known for their use of summer brights, like J.W. Anderson or Jean Paul Gaultier, have hopped on the bandwagon. The dilemma? How to wear it without looking like a human Lego. The solution? Take a peek at this week's look!![]()
I love the riche-look and soft cashmere of this J.W. ANDERSON sweater. It can easily be worked into a fun, color-blocked outfit or worn subtly with jeans.

Being too theme-y can make you look like you're doing too much. It's important to throw a curve ball accessory like this Joomi Lim necklace. The colors are there, but the shape of the necklace helps break up the color block from becoming too serious.
