Spring Fashion 2012

Dear Readers,


Wouldn't it be great to start off our first post of 2012 with the newest, latest and hottest trends of Spring 2012? I would think so! I know this post has been long in the waiting (and mainly it is my own fault and partly...well, I'd blame it on my hectic days with my toddler. Oh my God! She's so cute, but a handful!). As we are gearing up and making room in our closets for new ensembles, wishfully hoping that the weather is mild & pleasant enough to flaunt our Fashionista selves - our most beloved 'Spring' seems to be blossoming in our hearts.


"La La La Laaa Laaa Laaa!" -- Yes, just like that!


Now let's take a look at the runway: from the hottest 'tangerine' colors to much 'flower power' and bold prints; this Spring season is all about popping out your Spring-y spirit!

TANGERINE TANGO!

From L to R: Sophie Theallet, Steven Alan, Doo-Ri, Spring 2012

New York Fashion Week kicked off with the most hottest and the most popular color of the season 'Tangerine Tango' popping up like a slice of freshly cut citrus. I'm sure front row admirers must have gotten thirsty for a tall glass of orange juice - ha! 
I am loving the different textures and shades of tangerine. I have never been much of an orange color fan, but the styles of these dresses are attractive and not overdone. How cute is the silky belt on the first model...! (on the left)...fuchsia and orange always go good together. 
Yummy!

FUTURISTIC PRINTS

From L to R: Vera Wang, Prabal Gurung, Cynthia Rowley, Spring 2012

Interesting. A mix of floral and futuristic design; almost as if I am taking a fast-forward journey into 2050. I like the boldness of these looks. The pants on the 3rd model (right) and the v-neck white shirt looks very comfy, yet different.
Vera Wang's dress on the left, is a swirl of fresh colors. Lovely design.

PASTEL SHADES

From L to R: Carolina Herrera, Narciso Rodriguez, Spring 2012

METALLIC BASICS

From L to R: Diesel, Theysken’s Theory, spring 2012

CHEERFUL COLOR-BLOCKING

From L to R: Sophie Theallet, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Spring 2012

ANORAKS

From L to R: Jason Wu, Edun, Tommy Hilfiger, Spring 2012

I've always loved anoraks. I wanted to get one in the winter style last year, but living in Houston, one doesn't really need coats that thick. This Spring-y version of the Anorak however, will definitely go year-round. I love how the anorak has become a piece of clothing rather than just a jacket. Very stylish indeed.

BOLD PRINTS

From L to R: Cynthia Rowley, Derek Lam, Altuzarra, Spring 2012

"Do-You-Dare-PRINTS" -- these oversized florals, mirror-like geometric shapes and even parrot prints! Do you dare?!

PEPLUM SKIRTS/SHIRTS/DRESSES

From L to R: Rodarte, Thakoon, Cushnie et Ochs, Spring 2012

Proper and flirty all at the same time. With these looks you can go about your business and look feminine with the added, playful ruffle at the waist. Feel like a bird standing tall with high heels and eyes darkly lined to prey and attract. Spread those shiny wings!
