Top 7 Trends: Spring/Summer 2012

'BUTTON IT ALL-THE-WAY UP'

Celebs and trendsetters have been spotted buttoning up their Oxford collared shirts all-the-way up this winter, and it looks like they will keep it up this Spring/Summer. I'm totally loving this trend because their is so many ways to embrace the embellished collar or statement collar necklaces to make this chic and effortless! Will you try it?

'Cap-Toe Heels For Me'
Okay, so I've been spotting cap-toe heels everywhere and I love the variations (pointy to round)I've seen plenty from Christian Louboutin as well Prada, Sergio Rossi, Yves Saint Laurent and a host of other fabulous designers. This is definitely a fun way to play with your super chic outfit during the evening or even during the day. I'm currently obssessing over a pair of Christian Louboutin Bis un Bout pumps that will be my staple shoe (as soon as I find a pair in my size). Are you feeling this trend?  

'FLOWER POWER' 
What better way to welcome Spring than with some good ol' flowers?! Seems like everywhere I go I see floral suits, jackets, jeans and shirts, sure to be a absolute staple this season. Brighten up your day with some flowers....from you, of course! I think this is an adorable trend that can be played/dressed up with. Be sure to have fun and make it your own by mixing different flower patterns, like pairing a bright shirt with floral pants and neutral shoes. Do you have flower power?

'Mix-Them-Up'  
I love that mixed prints are staying around for another season, don't you love pairing snakeskin with stripes and brights with leopard? Spring/Summer 2012 is all about expression and being comfortable with the many prints surrounding us or the vintage prints we have in our very own closet. Feel free to mix up your prints again this season, what are you waiting for? #Y.O.L.O.

'COLOR ME.....NEON'
My philopsophy this upcoming season is to either to "go bright or go home" and I say this with my whole heart! Have you not fallen in love with neon yet? I'm having a love affair with it and glad to see more color on the runway, red carpet, streets of DC and just at the nearest mall. Designers and well-known trendseting stores (H&M, Topshop & American Apparael) have embraced this trend to the fullest and dare I say it...I'm head over heels for it. So color me neon, why don't you?!  

'The Bold & Beautiful Pattern Tights'
Never have I ever been that girl that "loves" tights/stockings but I'm definitely appreciative of the bold pattern tights that celebs like Rihanna, Kourtney Kardashian and others have been spotted in. I have several friends that love this trend as well and since it's still cold in the city it looks like it might be here to stay for at least another month....so it looks like pattern tights will be in rotation this Spring for sure. Looking for fun pattern tights? Check stores like: Urban Outfitters, ASOS and American Apparael for a reasonable deals!

'I like my Splits THIGH-HIGH'
I loveeeeee and adore this sexy and super fun dress that Kelly Rowland is wearing (above), it's the epitome of showing just enough without giving too much away! Ladies take note. The 'thigh-high' split movement has me swooning over countless maxi dresses I've seen in-stores lately, especially since my birthday dress embraced this trend I'm definitely a fan of embracing my inner 'sexy'. If it's done right, then this trend could be perfect for you. If you've worked out in the #occupythegym movement, show off some leg this Spring/Summer for goodness sake!
