The color trend is huge this season and Fashionistas everywhere are going crazy trying to spread out their dollars to accumulate as much color as possible. One of the easiest ways to instantly add color to any ensemble, or to add additional color to an already colorful outfit, is with the colored bangle.

Colorful bangle style bracelets are being found everywhere from jewelry counters to city streets. Bangles are being found in one color as well as color blocking; making them one of the easiest ways to be on-trend for spring and summer in 2012.

Another fabulous feature of the colorful bangle is that they can be found for under $20! While many designers are showing high end colored bangles, Fashionistas on a budget can also enjoy this trend. Stores such as JCPenny are selling bright and cheery colored bangles for $12 each and for just a few more dollars, department stores such as Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s offer colorful bangles for under well under $50. Love that!

There are THOUSANDS of colorful bangles on the market-it is almost daunting! So we scoured the web and found a few brightly colored bangle bracelets and assembled them into the Polyvore shopping set below. Hope you love it! Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Metallic touches for the spring season

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged metallics / spring 2012 / summer 2012 by

Metallic touches are being found everywhere for the spring 2012 season. Shimmering fabrics are being found on dresses, skirts, pants, denim and tops; showing the world that sparkle is for more than just evening occasions. Metallics have been an important trend over the past few seasons, but for spring 2012 they have taken store shelves, and streets, by storm. 

Metallic fabrics, sequins, crystal encrusted jewelry, glitter pumps, metallic touches on shoes, metallic leathers and more are being spotted everywhere. They key to wearing this trend is to pick one apparel piece either made from metallic fabric or adorned with a shimmering embellishment or embroidery which shines. Metallic touches for spring are exactly that; touches. Leave the head to toe metallics for formal affairs and clubs 
One of the great things about the metallic trend is that is has already been spotted on the fall runways. The most prominent metallic touch on the fall runway was gold embroidery; especially yellow gold paired with black. This is definitely one trend to watch and invest in for 2012. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Chunky necklaces spring into fall

 in General Fashion / Jewelry / Trends  tagged necklaces / spring 2012 / summer 2012 by
One of the hottest spring 2012 trends from the runway is the chunky necklace. This fabulous jewelry trend was also spotted on the fall 2012 runways last month, showing the fashion world that the chunky necklace trend is showing no sign of slowing down when the seasons change later this year.
Chunky necklaces for spring 2012 are being shown in bright colors as well as traditional metals. There are chunky necklaces in every category from resin beads to tumbled semi-precious stones to highly polished gemstones.  When it comes to stones and metal; anything goes for the spring 2012 season. 
The fall 2012 runways boasted the same materials from spring when it came to chunky necklaces. The overall color palette was slightly darker as designers opted for blue, orange, brown and especially black when it came to bold jewelry. 
Chunky necklaces are a great way to add color to any ensemble as well as the perfect way to spice up a tank top or tee-shirt on a hot summer’s day. Love that! 
Since the chunky jewelry trend is staying put for fall 2012, we think this is one trend worth investing in for the spring 2012 season. We scoured the web and assembled a few fabulous styles which can easily spring into fall; and we assembled them into the Polyvore set below. Hope you love it!
