Spring 2012

I keep hoping Spring will come early this year. I am so over wearing boots and heavy coats - they are so hard to make look adorable. Spring is my favouite time of year. It's a time of rebirth and growth, a time of hope and joy. The birds are chirping, flowers budding and to me Spring brings the best fashion. It's the first time after months of being stuck in jackets and boots that you can style yourself the way you want and top it off with the latest in outerwear. This year, the trends are AMAZING. They are easy to wear, can be added to any outfit and can go from day to night easily. Below are my top three fashion finds for Spring 2012.

Colour blocking:   

My favourite trend of Spring 2012 is colour blocking. Now most people who know me know I do not wear colour often. I am a huge fan of black - but with colourful accessories and shoes. This season however, you will see me sporting this trend all the time. What is colour blocking (CB) you may be asking. CB is two or more colours in blocks to make your fashion statement. The colours are usually complementary - however the more daring of people chose to clash in just the right way. PLEASE REMEMBER TO NOT USE MORE THAN 3 COLOURS - YOU WILL LOOK LIKE RAINBOW BRIGHT.

 How to incorporate CB into your wardrobe this year?

• Wear coloured pants. If you are heavier on the bottom, don't wear light pants on the bottom - chose a deeper green or blue.
• Accessorieze with colourful belts, scarves, shoes, purses etc
• Don't forget the SHOES!

Bold Prints:
A very fun trend to wear for Spring. Runways were full of competing head to toe prints from geometric to floral. I think prints can work for you or against you. Remember your body shape and wear what will make your body look it's best. All dresses below from h&m.

50's Style:
This Spring is also bringing back the femininity and grace of the 50's. From cropped Chanel inspired jackets to elegant and tailored shapes - women's curves will be on display. Enjoy pencil skirts and perfect Sunday dresses. All outfits below from H&M.

There are so many trends for Spring 2012 but these were just a few of my favourites. Enjoy being a girl and enjoy putting your personal spin on these awesome trends.
