Local boutique Meghan Marion has recently announced that the Cupcakes and Cashmere collection will be available for browsing and purchasing at the store starting this December. It's every fashion bloggers dream. I think the only thing that would be better is if Man Repeller started designing and selling clothes - am I right?

"We are so excited to announce that starting this December we will carry a new line called Cupcakes and Cashmere," said Meghan, owner of Meghan Marion. "The line is so beautiful and I know everyone is going to love it - check out the blog!"

For those of you who don't know, Cupcakes and Cashmere was started by Emily Schuman in 2008 as a lifestyle blog covering everything from fashion and beauty to food and interior design. Her aesthetic is girly with a bit of edge, and everything posted pleases the eye. That same aesthetic can be found in her collection.

The Cupcakes and Cashmere line has over 60 pieces that will be rolled out in three delivery phases, and the high-quality material and refined tailoring has created universally wearable pieces. It's a L.A. minimalist vibe full of lightweight coats, breezy dresses and mix-and-match separates. The prices of the collection range from $80 to $180.

For more information about this collection, head over to www.cupcakesandcashmere.com. Meghan Marion is located at 405 S. Main St., in Royal Oak.
