What is your favourite style for spring and summer 2012? That’s the question every time Fashion Week rolls around, and we’ve got plenty on our radar, from soft feminine dresses, tops and blouses, to make you feel like a bit of an angel.
Vibrant colours are going to make a splash again this season, with bright fluorescents like lime green bringing bursts of colour to wake up any wardrobe. Even if you shy away from outfits full of eye-catching colour, don’t just bypass these lively tones altogether. Try colourful accents like a flowy scarf or chunky piece of jewellery to incorporate a positive vibe that doesn’t overwhelm your personal style.

Easy and unexpected ways to add a pop of spring colour with skinny belt
Designers for this spring and summer are utilising heavenly fabrics, light as a cloud so to say... and putting out some wonderful inspired designs. You will find the trend for this season will be sewed up with the up-most intricately, touting pleats, folds, and draping.
Giving spring fashion its pop!
Midi dresses look good on women of all ages and can be good for many occasions.
For those of you with a greater penchant for subtlety, look out for an abundance of soft coral shades that can soften and feminize any outfit. I love to mix both feminine and subtlety in an outfit, and my favourite is always midi-length dresses. They are perfect for those who dislike maxi dresses but feel shy or inappropriate to wear mini dresses. Midi dresses look good on women of all ages and can be good for many occasions.
Remember ladies, don't forget that being fashionable can also mean wearing the things that looks best on you. Whatever your style, go and find fun, new items to inspire and refresh your look this spring.
