Swimwear for spring 2012

The warm weather is almost here! Spring is in full swing, and as blossoms decorate our landscapes with glorious color, the allure of a heated swimming pool begins to draw our attention. While it may not be beach weather just yet, soaking in some vitamin A and taking a dip in a warm swimming pool is perfect for the mild spring weather season.

Of course every Fashionista will need the perfect swimsuit for the spring 2012 season in order to have the most vibrant, of-the-moment look while enjoying the sun from the pool deck; or inside the pool! Swimwear for spring 2012 is mirroring everything we loved on the runways.

Both one-pieces and bikinis are popping up in bright colors, neon hues, color blocking, pastels, polka dots, florals and playful prints. Since the colors and patterns for spring 2012 are well-loved on the street, the only hard part about swimsuit shopping this season will be trying everything on at the store and finding a style that is flattering! (Sigh-swimsuit shopping can be more daunting than finding a pair of jeans!)

Since there are so many beautiful colors and silhouettes in swimwear for the spring 2012 season, we assembled a few in the Polyvore set below to help inspire your spring day’s poolside. Enjoy!

Striped dresses for the spring and summer seasons

Stripes are always hot for the spring season as the nautical trend moves into the fashion spectrum each and every spring. For spring and summer 2012, the nautical trend has evolved into the striped trend and it has taken both store shelves, and streets, by storm. Fashionistas everywhere are being spotted in stripes. One of the easy ways to wear the stripe trend is by wearing a striped dress.

Stripes are being shown in every combination possible when it comes to dresses. Multi-colored stripes are popping up as part of the current color trend, as well as traditional nautical stripes in varying shades of blue and white. Designers and brands are also showing one bright color paired with white; giving a modern twist to classic stripes.

Striped dresses are appearing in several different silhouettes for the spring and summer seasons this year. There are flirty, body-conscious silhouettes, 1950’s lady-like styles and casual, tee-shirt dress silhouettes.
We found a few fabulous striped dresses around the web and assembled into the Polyvore set below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping and stay fabulous
