Spring / Summer 2012 – FASHION TRENDS

Here in Malta the temperatures have soared to a whooping 34 degrees Fahrenheit and all the winter clothes have most definitely been put to rest …whilst I have been writing individual posts about various trends this season, I thought I’d simplify your lives and present them all in one post along with some other trends I haven’t yet written about…all because I love you so much 😛
A is for AFRICAN

Afro-centric trend including tribal patterns, animal prints and raffia is all the rage – check out my post at Into the Jungle We Go – Animal Prints It Is !! 

B is for BIRDS

The avian pattern trend is a big one this season – check out my post at Birds Of A Pattern We Flock Together
H is for HIGH WAISTED
The waistline has moved upwards this season and high waisted skirts, trousers, shorts are very popular, for those of you who are less than keen on this trend, give it a chance before saying no, it can actually be very flattering, helping to cinch in the waist and adding a nice shape to your derrière. 
L is for LACE
This one returns from last summer and winter..girly feminine lace is both bright and pastel colours…post coming soon
M is for Midriff
Hope you’ve been hitting the gym ladies cause this trend calls for toned exposed midriffs – check out my post at Showing Off Your Midriff – Yada or Nada ??
N is for NEON
Neons and UV lights aplenty – we’ve gone brighter than bright this season – check out my post at IT’S A NEON WORLD
N is also for NAUTICAL
Ship and water ahoy -we’ve set sail for the promised land – think stripes, think blue and red and all things sailor – check out my post and styling work at STYLE MAGAZINE- Spring Nautical Photo Shoot

O is for ORANGE
If a good part of your summer wardrobe does not already consist of orange or tangerine then go shopping, everything orange is on trend this season – check out my post at Time to Pluck an Orange and again at Celebrities Wearing Orange .. and Orange PhotoShoot – it’s so big, it had to have three.. 

P is for PEPLUM
The 40s trend is back and can be found on various tops and dresses both in fitted and flared format – check out my post at  It’s all about the PEPLUM
P is also for PLEATS
Soft pleats are to be found on floaty chiffon dresses and skirts this season ..whatever the length..post coming soon
P is also for PLASTIC
Plastic vinyl shoes, transparent vinyl jackets, bags..this somewhat futuristic trend is popular this season and don’t be fooled into thinking this is a cheap one…prices for designer items soar as high as any other trend… post coming soon.

P is also for PRINTS
Crazy prints abound this summer, aztec prints, floral prints and bird prints are probably the most popular but I’ve seen dressed with hearts ladybirds and spiders around so it seems that the sky is the limit with this trend.
S is for SHORTS
All lean legged girls listen up..shorts are the hottest thing this season, all lengths are in – we don’t discriminate, think hotpants, mid-length and bermudas too, wear them with a jacket for an instant smart take on the trend. 
W is for WHITE
Here comes the bride..all dressed in white..maybe we have weddings on the brain or maybe we’re all feeling pure of heart and character lately..either way head to toe white has made a comeback so raid your wardrobe and see what white looks you can create..post coming soon
