Kat von D debuts her 2012 Spring/Summer collection lookbook entitled "Treasure Coast" on her Kat Von D Los Angeles website. Following the highly successful launch of her Fall/Winter 2010 clothing line collection, “Love Letters,” Kat von D is ready to launch her 2012 Spring/Summer collection entitled "Treasure Coast" set to be available February 14. She has already received high praise for her Fall/Winter line previously featured on the Huffington Post, CNN Entertainment and Glamour. Now, her Spring/Summer collection's lookbook found on her Kat Von D Los Angeles clothing line's website is expected to exceed the high expectations already set by fans and fashionistas alike.

“My customer is looking for pieces that can mesh easily with their personal style. It was important that we use textures and fabrics that will not only feel luxurious but also become treasures in their own right,” says Kat. Kat held very true to that notion while creating “Treasure Coast.” Although many pieces feature intricate detailing and unique styling, they are also very wearable and can fit into most peoples’ everyday styles.

“Treasure Coast” features simplistic, but intricate pencil skirts such as the Diving Bell skirt, as well as comfortable, yet stylish dresses like the Galleon Dress. Kat von D has also added long, loose pants and comfy short shorts to the mix, such as the Voyager Trouser and Luna Shorts. Of course, she’s also made some updates to favorites from the “Love Letters” line with innovative takes on leggings, fringe sweaters and cut-out tops.

Kat Von D grabbed lunch at Urth Cafe in West Hollywood recently sporting a daring new look. The former TLC star strutted her stuff in two different colored studded sandals: one red, one black. Very White Stripes, Kat.

And the rest of Kat's look was equally quirky: a red bra topped with a tattered tee and what we're going to call a leather pants/pantyhose hybrid on the bottom. Paired with a leather hoodie, the look was pure Kat, but also kind of giving us a headache. We're just hoping all the shoes match in Kat's new clothing line. What do you think of Kat's wild sandal look? Check out her shoes below, as well some more iconic looks from Kat, and cast your vote in our poll:

Kat Von D says people will be "pleasantly surprised" by her "sophisticated" fashion line. The American tattoo artist has launched KvD Los Angeles - a wearable collection that includes harem pants, tailored jackets and glamorous gowns.

Kat says her demure range isn't what most people would expect from her. "It was easy to predict that most people would be pleasantly surprised by the sophistication of the line," she told People. "By no means am I rebelling from my 'tattoo roots,' but I am showing the world what truly inspires me."

Kat was enthused by a number of things around her when creating the collection. The former LA Ink star comprised different elements to come up with the basis for her ideas. "The inspiration [for the line] varies from elements of nature to architecture, to love letters, and all things from time passed, with a modern romantic approach," she revealed.

Kat wanted to create fashion that would appeal to the masses. The raven-haired star knows that her quirky personal style is not liked by everyone, so had this in mind when designing. "I've become most attached to the highly tailored pieces, especially the coats," she said.

"To me, I think it's important when creating anything for the public, that it is something that all walks of life can feel connected to. If you stick to your guns and create from a genuine place, there is a way to find a balance between the 'extreme' and the 'safe'."

As my friends will tell you, I’m pretty positive I’m clairvoyant — at least when it comes to fashion. It just so happens that Sunday evening as I relaxed for the remaining hours of the weekend, I decided to browse through my Netflix Watch Instantly and landed on LA Ink. It’s been possibly a solid year since I’ve indulged in that guilty pleasure, but it hit the spot perfectly. Not only does Kat Von D have an insanely awesome personality, but she has talent like whoa.

So yesterday, as I’m checking emails, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the following: Kat Von D’s new spring collection – say what?! Alright, so a lot of celeb/reality TV personality fashion collections have fallen flat, but this one is actually pretty superb. Not surprising since she already has the knack for sketching and color sense unlike other ‘designers.’

Obviously, she infused her own style of grungy 1970′s-meets-vintage pin-up and it works really well. She transitions her winter collection of Edwardian avant-garde to sensible spring. We especially love her black mini-skirt with ombre side fringe: it’s enough of a statement you can wear to work and then transition into night for cocktails. She also nailed the relaxed silhouette of wide-leg trousers with simple tops that can be worn with pretty much anything. Now, if only she would come to NYC and grant us with one of her killer tattoos, all would be right in the world.

In January of this year, Kat Von D was spotted with Jesse James, wearing a huge engagement ring. Then, the rumors started rolling in that the twosome were engaged to be married. Since, her relationship went South and her show was canceled. Then, she got back together with this dufus, and tattooed his face on herself, only to find that he was cheating on her with 19 different women.

Now that it’s all said and done, Jesse wants his engagement ring back. We’re guessing it’s because he’s near broke and needs the cash. He spent $50,000 on the ring, but after cheating on her, they broke off their engagement. Should she return it?

The ring is a $50,000 four-carat platinum and diamond Neil Lane engagement ring. A source said, “Now that he and Kat are totally broken up, Jesse wants the ring back. The money he paid for it obviously isn’t going to make or break him, but Jesse’s always been a tightwad.”The snitch went on to reveal, “She won’t return the ring to Jesse, and she’s not budging. She says she deserves it for putting up with him!”We couldn’t agree more. She needs to pawn that ring and invest the money into something that will make her happy. Clothes, maybe? A new car? What do you think?

According to Jesse James’ ex, former L.A. Ink star Kat Von D, the notorious philanderer cheater on her with at least 19 different women over the past year. “Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year," the 29-year-old wrote Sunday in post on her Facebook page.

"I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship."Most will remember that the 42-year-old James exercised what he described to People as “poor judgement” in his unfaithful marriage to Sandra Bullock.

Shortly after his split from Bullock, he bounced back with Von D. The two had been planning a summer wedding but split for good in September under seemingly amicable terms. “It just made me sad today to imagine him still in that dark place - where seeking validation through the attention of women takes precedence over being a good father, a sincere friend, a better coworker, and a happy individual,” The tattooed star wrote in her weekend post. "I tried my best to go through all of this without venting, or complaining, or fueling more tabloid mumbo jumbo…[But] this is about me making peace with myself, and forgiving myself for making some bad mistakes."

James has not commented on the issue, but an unnamed source close to him told People that Von D’s claim against the former West Coast Choppers owner “is ridiculous.”
