Bright pumps for spring 2012

The pump is one of the most classic and flattering shoes on the market for women. The high heel elevates us and adds height while giving the appearance of a slimmer figure; love that! Every season designers show versions of the pump, adding to the fact that the shoe style is a classic. For spring 2012 the pump gets bright and is shown with both a pointed toe and round. In addition to going bright this spring, pumps are being shown with both flat soles and platforms; giving consumers a wide variety of heights to choose from.

While many shoe styles this season are complicated and artsy, the pump is being shown in either solid colors or color blocking. The solid colored pump is proving to be the most popular among consumers as the style flies off store shelves in a variety of hues. Solid colored pumps are being shown in the color of the season, orange, as well as bright pink, cobalt blue, bright green, canary yellow and even in neon hues.

One of the fabulous things about the solid colored bright pump is that it is an easy way to update one’s wardrobe. Instead of buying a wide variety of clothing in bright colors for spring, a Fashionista can easily add a pair of bright pumps to an otherwise neutral ensemble and voila! She is instantly on-trend for spring with a bright and bold color.

Thankfully there are no rules when it comes to heel height or sole. Bright pumps are hot in two inch heels as well as five inch. Platforms and flat soles are the choice of the Fashionista, and there is no wrong answer. Our feet are thankful for this trend J

The daytime clutch became hot in spring of 2011 when it graced the runways in New York, London, Milan and Paris. As the year progressed, the trends hit the streets and by fall of 2011 Fashion-savvy women were spotted everywhere carrying medium-sized clutches in daytime fabrications. For the spring 2012 runway shows, the daytime clutch was dominant alongside the double handle satchel and showed the fashion world the trend would still be hot for 2012.

As spring 2012 arrives in stores, the daytime clutch is dominating the handbag department. Daytime clutches are being spotted in medium and small sizes in every fabrication imaginable. While the bulk of the handbags are made from leathers, there are also exotic skins, vegan faux leathers, cork and straw clutches for spring. The biggest trend among all fabrications is that are made in bright and bold colors, as well as being color blocked.

The easiest way to update one’s wardrobe this season is with a bright and bold daytime clutch. While a daytime clutch cannot hold everything and the kitchen sink, daytime versions of this formally evening-only style can easily carry a small wallet, smartphone, keys and lipstick. Look for bright colors such as orange, pink, yellow and cobalt blue. Some designers have even introduced neon shades of green, yellow, orange, pink and blue for the spring season; now that’s bright! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Bold earrings for spring 2012

 in General Fashion / Jewelry / Trends  tagged earrings / spring 2012 by

One of the hottest trends for spring 2012 is the bold jewelry trend. With this trend comes bold, shoulder dusting earrings which cannot help but be noticed. There are so many options and very few rules when it comes to large, bold earrings for the spring 2012 season. Every style of earring imaginable is hot, making this the perfect season to shop your jewelry box and also add to it!

Huge earrings were du rigueur in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Since then, earrings have gone through cycles of being small, medium or targeting a specific style. There was the hoop or circle trend in the early 2000’s and the chandelier trend earlier in the century.

This time around, hoops, circles, chandeliers and more can be rescued from the back of our jewelry boxes and given new life. In addition to wearing earrings from seasons past, which can be passed off as vintage if they are ten or more years old, there are dozens of new dangle earring styles on store shelves for the spring season.

Designers and brands have created amazing dangle earring styles for the spring season. There are linear and bold styles which offer movement and mixes of texture as well as sturdy and large metal earrings which cannot be missed.

Another trend in earrings is the chain trend. Edgy chain earrings are being found everywhere and offering a slightly rock and roll vibe to feminine earring styles. Also look for colorful gemstones mixed together; a great way to incorporate the color blocking trend and bright color trend into your wardrobe.

Below we found several bold earrings for the spring season around the web. Of course, every store you walk into this season will offer huge earrings which are on-trend and perfect for the spring season. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
