Spring 2012 trends

Spring is in the air...
I am so excited to see the new bright colors that will hit the stores and the streets in a few months. Right now, there is not too much out there but I have a few things that I was able to find on the net from the runways.

     Although on the East Coast, it is still chilly and we are still dressing in layers, the spring season is around the corner and stores will soon turn around their product.  So I have done a little internet research and began pulling runway photos of the trends that I can see for the up-coming Spring 2012 season.

Fabulous Fridays!

Fabulous Fridays!
Sorry for not having my usual format.
So this week, I would like to feature wedge heels. There are so many out there. They are comfortable and fashionable.
This is one from Steve Madden. $79.95 at Nordstroms. Perfect for the spring time that will be coming soon.
Happy Shopping!

Fabulous Friday!

   

It's Friday.. Fab Friday!

     This week's pick is a red dress from Neiman Marcus. A satin sheath dress, belted with flower details along the neck that will show off your sexy and femine side.

    Original price for the dress was $395 but currently on sale for $138, as advirtised on Neiman Marcus's website. It is a steal and is perfect for this Valentine's Day. And don't forget the accessories! It would go perfect with these gold accent earrings by Milly. They are pretty and simple earrings that can add some glamour to your outfit. Both items you can order on-line and you will get it in-time for your special date!

Golden Globes 2012
     January 15th was the Golden Globes and all the stars came out. Some of the red carpet trends consisted of neutral colors or bold color choices. What ever style the celebrities have chosen, it was a wonderful fashion show-showdown. The above dresses were some of my favorites for the evening. What were yours?

Trend-Spotting!

Spotlight some fashion!

     Hello Fellow Fashionistas!

Every week, I am going to high-light an outfit, garment, or trend that I find fun, every Friday. So if there is something that catches your eye, please let me know and I may post it as my Fabulous Friday style of the week.

This week, I would love to point out color block dresses. They are fun, colorful expressions that can high-light your features, depending what colors are placed on your body. This dress from Tory Burch is lovely. I love the mixing of a soft color with bright. If you want to down play your bust, wear your bold color on your bottom. This dress is bold and sophistacated.

Happy Shopping!

Target will "Wu" you this February!

Target will “Wu” this February

It was announced officially today by WWD that Jason Wu will be featuring a small line at Target next month. I have written about this rumor in a previous post and now it announced as TRUE!

Resort 2012

Resort 2012

All the big name department stores are currently having their sales on items they wish to sell before the end of the year and clear up the inventory for the new items for spring. Along with that, we are seeing Resort being featured too. These are the items you see that will preview your way into spring but are really for those that are going on holiday.

So most of the items you will see are swimsuits (I know, a little disturbing now that you have devoured your Christmas cookies), accessories, casual pants that can be worn into the spring season, lighter weight  sweaters, and sandals.

Right now, Neiman Marcus is featuring some exciting trends for resort like: bright pinks, yellow accents, neon colors, colored bottoms, scuba style swimsuits, and prints.

 Lord and Taylor has on their site swimwear, cover ups, sportswear items like sweaters, capris and casual pants.

Nordstroms’s Resort items include various types of espadrilles and cover ups.

Saks Fifth Ave Resort features wedges and various printed items that will take you into the spring season.

Whether you are vacationing on the Riviera, or just a cruise around the Caribbean, the stores have plenty items to add to your luggage. If you are not going on a trip anytime soon, there are some great items that will just help you transition into the spring season.

Happy Shopping!
