Spring Trends 2012

Tangerine Tango

| DOO.RI |
| REBECCA MINKOFF |
| ALICE + OLIVIA |

Orange was frequently spotted throughout the Spring 2012 runway shows! It is a great pop of color to one's outfit, as well as making a statement. If wearing a full on orange outfit is challenging, make it work with orange shorts or orange skirts! It's a great way to incorporate the color, without too much drama into everyday life!

-------------------

Pastel Party

| DOO.RI |
| LOUIS VUITTON |

I already did a post for pastels, but I can't keep this out from my spring trends post! Pastels have been my obsession for a long time, so I was blogging with joy when I saw it was coming back. Unlike neons and bold colors, pastels are very easy and comfortable to wear in everyday life.

--------------------

High-Low/Asymmetrical Hemline

| ALEXANDER MCQUEEN |
| DKNY |

High-low hemline is VERY popular this season as I'm seeing it literally every store. I actually have an outfit post incorporating this trend, but in a wearable note. I like this trend because even though it seems like you are wearing a maxi dress from the back, bare legs are exposed in the front. It makes us short girls happy to wear maxis, without really wearing them.

--------------------

Pretty Peplum

| MARCHESA |
| JASON WU |
| STYLENANDA.COM |

Peplum skirts and dresses are very in. However, this is the only trend that I'm a bit hesistant because I have wide hips so the peplum line will make my bottom proportion bigger. But as they say, you never know until you try it, right?

--------------------

Crochet Detailings

| VALENTINO |
| LOUIS VUITTON |
 | DOLCE&GABBANA |
| MULBERRY |

Who cares if this looks too granny? I am seriously attracted to these beautiful crochet detailings recently and I am keen to buy one for myself! It looks so feminie and delicate, that I can't resist them.

--------------------

Sorry it took me awhile to post this up. I was originally going to show you guys outfits I wear incorporating the trends in a video format, but my Sony Vegas Pro 10 will not open up. As soon as I fix that program malfunctioning, I will make some more YouTube videos! There are SO much more spotted trends this season, but this is all for today. I might be able to do some more if I can!

Prom Dresses!

I'm in a dilemma... PROM DRESSES.
My prom is coming soon in May 2012 and I'm wondering which dress I should buy.
I'm planning to buy it really early to assure that no one else will overlap with me.
So the big question is: gown or short?
Prom is all about wearing long dresses, but this year is my Junior Prom. (which is less fancy than Senior Ball) So I'm thinking to buy short dress this year and then long dress next year.

SHORT DRESSES:
Easier to dance in, no alteration needed, more selections, less budget, useful in future, legs!

I have been eyeing this dress for awhile now. I really like the color because even though it is red, it's a deeper shade of red, which suits me better. Also, I thought this dress with a gold glitter pumps would look really well together.

This is a bit less gold than I like, but this is just an example.


LONG DRESSES:
Pro- More fancy and Prom-like, statement!, elegance

I am in love with this aqua color this season, and I found the perfect dress with it! This dress is a bit expensive, but not as much compared to others. I just love the color and it is not strapless. I cannot stand strapless dresses because they make me uncomfortable. Even though I love this dress, I'm afraid to break the bank because I can't think of any other occasions to wear this dress. For accessories, I would go with silver tone jewelries and any shoes since it's going to be covered up anyway.

So what do you guys think? Help me out!

Waterfall

| SHEER WHITE BLOUSE FROM MOM'S CLOSET | LOVE CULTURE WATERFALL SKIRT | CLAIRE'S WATCH STYLE RING | REFLECTION SHOES |

I adore this skirt and the color because it is so different from a traditional maxi skirt. I avoid wearing maxi skirts because I am very short and I feel like it is wearing me, rather than me wearing the maxi. However, this skirt allows me to show off my legs but still wear a lengthy skirt in the back. Also, I've been seeing a lot of these asymmetrical style skirts/dresses everywhere for this upcoming season!

Spring Pop!

| CLAIRE'S HAT | GAP SHIRT | FOREVER 21 NECKLACE, RING | LOVE CULTURE SHORTS | NUDE HEELS |
Sorry for the MIA. I was trying to upload two videos to my YouTube channel, but my Sony Vegas Pro 10 will not open up and work. I hope I can fix it later.
I'm so excited for spring to come, so I've been preparing my wardrobe for spring too! I really liked this orange shorts because it gives a beautiful pop of color to the outfit without too much. Plus, the color orange is really in for S/S 2012. I paired it up with nude heels so it will elongate my legs. I hope you all like this outfit! Please support me by hyping this look on my LookBook!
