Resort 2012 Fashion Trends

As resort 2012 begins to roll onto store shelves, Fashionistas everywhere are getting a sneak peek into what will be hot for spring 2012. Some of resort 2012’s biggest trends are also going to be hot for spring 2012; why not get a jump start on the new trends!

Bold, Bright, Neon Colors: The color trend continues and resort 2012 is bringing every shade under the rainbow to the forefront in bright, bold and neon hues in order to allow everyone to get noticed. Neutrals step aside, tis’ the season to be bold!

Floral Prints: Prints are huge for spring 2012 and are making their presence known early on in the resort collection. Floral prints are presenting themselves in a variety of forms including, but not limited to, painterly, small flowers, colorful and splashy flowers and of course, classic florals reminiscent of Laura Ashley in the 1980’s.

The High Neckline: One of the biggest trends appearing in the resort collections is the high neckline. Over the past few seasons necklines have varied; without one particular neckline capturing the attention of the fashion world. Resort 2012 brings a new neckline front and center; literally 

The neckline dominating the resort 2012 attire is a high neckline in the form of a crew-neck or boat-neck. While v-necks, cowl-necks and asymmetrical necklines are still fabulous for resort, the high neckline is instantly becoming the ultimate neckline for the season. The perfect high neckline starts right at the collarbone and appears on a body-conscious silhouette.

The Colored Handbag: Step aside boring black bag! While colorful handbags have been hot since last spring, the bright accessory is stepping things up a notch for resort 2012 and spring 2012. Pick your favorite color and you’re in like Flynn; literally!

The Bright Shoe: It is only natural that bright, bold and neon hued shoes step front and center for the resort 2012 season, after all, the handbags natural competitor for “Most Fabulous” is the shoe. The brighter the shoe, the hotter it is. Look for color blocking and shockingly bright colors. Tis’ the season to bring your best foot forward!

The Wedge Sandal: It’s baaaaaa-aaack! That’s right; your eyes are working correctly. While the wedge sandal took a hiatus a year or two back, they crept back into fashion in spring 2011 and are taking the resort 2012 world by storm. Wedges are being shown in cork, rope (espadrille), stacked wood, covered leather and some designers, such as Valentino, are even embellishing their wedges with rocker-chic studs. Love it!

Resort 2012 is a great time in the shopping calendar to snap up a few items for the warm weather months; or an exotic vacation during the cold winter season to a warmer location. When choosing items from the resort 2012 collections, look for styles which look good on, that you cannot live without and which will easily carry into spring 2012; happy shopping and stay fabulous

Sojourn Beauty products are a Hollywood and Fashionista favorite

Sojourn Beauty has a professional line of hair-care products which are all the rage with the Hollywood set. Since celebrities get paid to look fabulous, it is only natural that the rest of us look to see which beauty products they are using to keep their star shining. When we learned that Sojourn Beauty products are not only used by celebrities at home, but also used on set for films and shows such as Pan Am, Happy Ending, Whitney, Vampire Diaries and One Tree Hill, we knew we had to try the collection.

We decided to test out the “Smooth” hair care collection by Sojourn since here in the Bay Area we can easily fall victim to foggy weather which makes our hair frizzy and fluff in the wrong places. After using the shampoo and conditioner for four days straight, our hair was manageable and frizzy-free; love it!

Since the shampoo and conditioner alone were able to smooth our hair, we dedicated to try out the “Serum Smooth” while blow drying our hair. Once again, smooth and shiny results! The leave-in detangler also worked like a charm when we tried it. We tested the detangler on fine, blond hair that tangles and frizzes one minute after being combed. Again, we were impressed! Her hair was tangle free and it did not frizzy back up; as it normally does on a daily basis.

The verdict is in! Five out of five stars for Sojourn Beauty’s Smooth collection. The hair care line is pH balanced with a range of 4.5-5.5 which is based on positive hair chemistry. Sojourn Beauty is also eco-conscious since the packaging is 100% biodegradable, there are no artificial colors and it is sulfate-free, gluten-free, formaldehyde-free, paraben-free and contains Keratin Cashmere protein. Fabulous!
