Fashion Trends Spring 2012
We are almost in the hug of spring 2012; and we all know that early at the end of 2011, fashion trends for spring 2012 are coming out. So, what are these fashion trends for women’s clothes? Now, let’s check them out.
Oranges and Tangerines
Just before New York Fashion Week kicked off, Pantone Institute shared its prediction for the most popular colors of spring 2012, and it was spot-on: The pick for spring’s numero uno shade, Tangerine Tango, was all over the runways. And if tangerine isn’t your citrus of choice, there are plenty more orange hues to choose from. Wear one color and look chic? How easy is that.
Cheerful Color-Blocking
Spring runways were more colorful than the crowd at a Lady Gaga concert. Bold, solid-color pieces—like a cardi and skirt, wrap dress or demure one-piece suit—make simple dressing look glam. Style tip: Stick to three colors max to avoid the girly, Rainbow Brite look.
Super Bold Prints
There are prints, and then there are PRINTS. All caps are necessary to describe the vibrant, swirling, styled-head-to-toe patterns that sashayed down the spring 2012 runways. While there’s plenty to choose from—oversize florals, mirrorlike geometric shapes, even parrot prints.
Pastel Shades
If wild, look-at-me hues aren’t your thing, worry not: New York Fashion Week’s most esteemed designers have got your back. Spring’s sweet sorbet shades and pastel hues give off a low-key, ladylike vibe.
Peplum skirts, shirts and dresses
Flirt without saying a word in this season’s peplum skirts, dresses and tops, defined by a short flared ruffle that sits at the natural waist. High heels and your steadiest eyeliner flick will seal the deal on your spring glam plan.
Anoraks
Spring 2012’s cool-girl anoraks—as seen at Tommy Hilfiger, Edun and Jason Wu—are a win-win: They fit in with spring’s sporty vibe and promise to make your rainy days look chic. What’s not to love?
Pink Shorts Suits
Sure, this trend might not have been automatically filed under “wearable,” but this leggy-yet-office-appropriate look major prop is versatile: Wear the blazer and shorts separately for a whole new set of cute outfits. Smart dressing, indeed.
Colorful CamoCamo usually feels heavy-duty, but spring’s versions are more ladylike thanks to soft, pretty pastels. How to pull it off in the urban jungle? Treat it like it goes with everything by styling it up with other patterns and colors and suddenly your friends will be calling on you to merchandise their closets and approve their spring splurges. Keep it stealth—they don’t have to know that your cool new camo did the heavy lifting.
Metallic BasicsGo-to wardrobe favorites—from wrap skirts and slim trousers to stacked heel loafers—turn into going-out gear when they come covered in shiny bronze or liquid emerald green. If you need to have a Footloose moment and steal the dance-floor spotlight, wear one of these.
We can see that color-blocking and metallics continue to be fashion trends; and also here come out many other trends. The marketplace will surely make those appear in a lot of different places.

Be A Flower Princess This Valentine’s Day: How to Style Florals
Since Valentine’s Day 2012 is coming closer and closer, there are more recommendations about how and what to wear this Valentine’s Day, including this one. Valentine’s Day is almost in spring; and spring is the best season for flowers. Thus, we cannot miss the floral prints. Then, how to style florals? Take a look at the following tips.
Floral cardigan
Wear a floral print cardigan to work over your usual black dress or blouse with some black pants instead of a blazer.
Floral print dresses
It’s a complete look and you don’t have to worry about accessorizing – the dress is an accessory on its own.
Floral tights
If you are not ready to throw on a lot of flowers with a floral dress, start slowly with some floral print tights. Wear them with a pencil skirt and a pretty blouse.
Floral shoes
They are a bold statement and a great choice if you want to stand out in a crowd. Now, there is a difference between floral print shoes – there are the flats (picture below) and regular floral shoes (picture above). While the flats can be worn by anyone and look great, to me, the regular shoes with a floral print, demand a distinct personal style to pull off.
Floral accessories
They are also a good way of incorporating florals into your wardrobe. Especially floral print bangles are a good way to show off the floral trend! A floral scarf is also a great choice.
Now, are you ready to be a flower princess and stand on front of your special him? I believe you are.

Golden Globes 2012 came into our views, along with some fashion stunners decorated by some beautiful dresses, jewelries and high-heels. Let’s check the fashion stunners in Golden Globes 2012!
TILDA SWINTON
Tilda, you have quite simply left us speechless.
CHARLIZE THERON

ANGELINA JOLIE

JESSICA ALBA
Let’s be honest, Jessica Alba could rock up in a onesie accessorised with a bumbag and still look the picture of perfection.
ROONEY MARA

VIOLA DAVIS

How to Style Leggings
Leggings have become quite fashionable accessories to women in almost every season. However, not any clothes can be with them. Then, how to style leggings? What are the fashion tips? Take a look at the following piece of writing.
Wear them with Mini skirts
Leggings and skirts are truly a dynamic duo. If you have qualms about showing off your stems, add a pair of leggings in to the mix. Leggings enable skin-shy women to pull off skirts of all lengths. Choose a color that coordinates with your top, and keep in mind that dark colors are always more flattering.
Wear them with Shirtdresses
Peeking out from a sturdy shirtdress, tights add an extra layer of style, often in the form of a pattern or color. When it comes to sun dresses and other breezy numbers, take caution: most flirty frocks are just too light for tights. A good rule of thumb is that if the dress demands heels, stick to bare legs. On the other hand, flats and sandals work, leggings will too.
Wear them with Tunics
If you want your tights can take the spotlight, pair them with a tunic. Standard tees and tanks simply won’t work unless you’re a model or an aerobics instructor–make sure your top hem touches your upper thigh, and you’re good to go.
Wear them with Flats
High heels tend to look very “retro dance queen” teamed with tights–and not in a good way. Avoid heels of any height and instead opt for ballet flats, skimmers, moccasins, and slides. With stylish flats, you can pull off tights with casual ease.
Of course, you may also surprise the “audience” with some new leggings styles.

How to Style Men’s Camel Coats and Jackets
Camel coats are quite popular in the year of 2011, and continue in the beginning of 2012. They are not only in women’s fashion world, but also in men’s. Then, how to style men’s camel coats and jackets? The following tips will help you.
Style men’s camel coats
The camel overcoat is much more versatile than you initially think. Keeping the fit slim and sharp is imperative, and will allow you to utilize it with more fashion forward items such as slim/skinny jeans and even bold colored chinos. You can pair the overcoat with white jeans and a simple t-shirt.
Notice how camel seems to make every item you pair with it ‘pop’. Colors seem bolder and richer, whilst monochromes come alive and really play off the neutral tone. This means you can literally pair it with everything in your current wardrobe – even other beige/cream tones if you make sure you alter the hue slightly to provide the contrast.
Of course, the camel overcoat lends itself very well to smart-casual looks. It is naturally a refined piece, so smart-casual footwear such as brogues, suede shoes and relaxed loafers will all look superb and help compliment the slightly more refined undertones. For those looking to inject some life into the look, bold colored socks, patterned tops and your trademark accessories will all help casual down the look slightly and give you that personality and individuality you desire.
Style men’s camel jackets
As for the camel jackets, a wide range of them are now available from a multitude of brands and designers – from premium fashion houses to the high street. Everything from duffle coats and blazers to dyed denim jackets and trench coats are available, so you are sure to find one that suits your personal style and current wardrobe.
Of course, the camel color will still integrate seamlessly within your existing wardrobe, whilst offering the same benefits that the overcoat provides – namely versatility and the ability to bring your other items to life.
Grab yourself a camel jacket and show your style.
