Chanel Frenzy for fall 2012: the IT polish from the Paris runway

Chanel Frenzy is new “IT” nail polish spotted on the Paris Fashion Week runway for fall/winter 2012/2013. This lavender-meets-taupe-meets-grey nail polish color is similar to nude and neutral nail polish hues spotted in New York and Milan. This shows that dark, vampy nails are now a thing of the past as nudes and soft neutrals move into the forefront of nail polish stardom for the fall 2012 season.

Although the current “IT nail polish Chanel Attraction, from the iconic Paris design houses’ spring 2012 runway is a metallic white, the majority of nail colors at the forefront of nail trends for the spring season include bright corals, reds and pinks. The move for fall towards neutrals and nude polish marks a new turn in nail trends for the end of 2012 and moving into 2013.

Chanel Frenzy is cool version of nude as the shade has grey undertones and compliments cold colors such as blue, grey and black. The nude colors shown in Milan and New York offered warm undertones, making them the perfect color for autumn’s brown, mustard and orange hues. Every season Chanel’s runway nail polish hue sells out within a couple of weeks after being released to store shelves. If Chanel Frenzy is already sending you into a “Frenzy,” run, don’t walk to the store when this runway hue is released to Chanel counters everywhere. Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Chunky necklaces spring into fall

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!

Black and white for spring 2012

The Black and white trend is huge for spring 2012. Designers from New York, Paris, Milan and London paired black with white on their spring 2012 runways and showed the neutral color combination on both classic garments as well as in color blocked “of-the-moment” ensembles. While wearing black and white is considered a classic combination, the two tone look is hotter than normal this season and provides the perfect contrast to the season’s bright colors and sweet pastels.

Black and white is popping up in every way imaginable for the spring 2012 season. Designers are showing black and white shoes, handbags, jewelry and of course apparel. Black and white ensembles can be worn alone, or they can be spiced up with a bright orange handbag or cobalt blue pumps.

No matter how black and white is worn, whether color blocked, alone or spiced up with one colorful item, the black with white trend is hot. So hot, that black and white was also spotted on a few fall runways, showing the world that this trend is here to stay through the year. Love that!
