SPOTTED: Heidi Merrick for Spring '13

A few months back I got to meet L.A.-based designed Heidi Merrick and she was just as lovely as her collections always manage to be. Her latest for Spring center around really bold but neutral paisleys and always-versatile stripes that make a statement but somehow still seem to be mix-and-match. The shapes are both functional and still really feminine with nipped waists and short hemlines, it's utterly perfect for my closet when the weather warms up.
