"British collegiate clothing label Jack Wills has opened about a bazillion stores across the United States over the past two years&amp;amp;#8212;in cities such as Boston, New Haven, Philadelphia, and Charlottesville. I&amp;#x27;ve long been obsessed with the brand&amp;#x27;s preppy-with-a-twist aesthetic&amp;amp;#8212;even though I&amp;#x27;m, uh, way past Jack Wills&amp;#x27; target demographic. Check out five of my favorite looks from the company&amp;#x27;s spring 2012 handbook (which you can sign up to get for free at JackWills.com) after the jump.Some of the stuff featured in the spring handbook doesn&amp;#x27;t hit stores (and online) until later in the season&amp;amp;#8212;so here are credits for each look with what&amp;#x27;s available and, otherwise, close approximations. The model wears a Ferndown coat, $198, a Thorndale tee, $49.50, in a sailboat print, and the Ellington shorts, $79.50. I love the sail-theme print, the red-white-and-blue mixed with a menswear-inspired jacket. Here, she&amp;#x27;s wearing the Elmwood mac, $138, a Selkirk short-sleeve top, $89.50, and what looks like a dark Springton denim short, $69.50. I adore the anchor-motif neckline on this cardigan, $148. And I&amp;#x27;m a huge fan of breaking up a classic striped shirt&amp;amp;#8212;like this Tilbrook crew, $59.50&amp;amp;#8212;and shorts, $79.50, combo with a surprising striped belt, $19.50. And, last but certainly not least, this is sort of a classic summer-campy look, I think&amp;amp;#8212;a nubby knit sweater, $138, thrown over a ditsy-print floral skirt, $79.50. What pieces are you looking forward to buying for spring? Are you into this preppy-with-a-twist look? Sometimes I feel torn, like I should be dressing more grown-up... but I can&amp;#x27;t resist anything that even vaguely reminds me of summer camp circa mid-90s. PLUS... &amp;amp;#183; 5 Super-cute dresses from Hi There, Karen Walker&amp;#x27;s new (and cheaper!) line &amp;amp;#183; Kissing giraffe bangles and other accessories we love from Juicy Couture&amp;#x27;s summer collection &amp;amp;#183; 5 Totally covetworthy shoes from LKBennett&amp;#x27;s summer collection Photos courtesy of Jack Wills"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
