Trends for 2012

Top Trends Of 2012.

With the new coming of a new year, comes changing of the weather and fashion which ladies it means pulling out your spring wardrobe, you can leave those jackets from Fall out! I love the beginning of a new year because it's a time to twist up your trend different from the previous year. Of course there are those questions, How can I change my look? What are some must haves fashion trends for 2012? I been pondering the same question and I came across an All year in review fashion trends brought to you from Forever21.com. I did a little research today by going to the mall (which is always a plus to go browse and see what new styles are out there). I wrote down some new trends I saw in the stores and researched on websites of their new trends for 2012. I hope it helps and if you have a trend to share, I would love to hear from you, jot it down in a comment! Thank you.





1.       Lace- a fabric that has been a part of your closet or will be addition to your closet, it’s a great way to dress up or wear casual could be to work or out in the town.








2.       Coral colors- peach, pink, tangeriene colors are all apart of Spring even a purple color is great to wear for 2012. Add Bold colors as well, they are in for Spring!





 

3.       Sandals- Gladiator shoes were a big hit for the past year however, sandals are always great to have, whether they are bedazzled or just a simple color. Try Target or Agaci (their sandals are shown below).





4.       Floral dresses or tops- April showers, May flowers! Florals are an absolute pattern found in Spring (however florals tops are in for each season, instead of a coral flower color, darker browns or yellows would be nice for fall). I love this one below found on expressfashion website, beacause not only is it floral top love the chiffon bottom, those are big hit for 2012! Do a silk or cotton floral top (similiar to the black and white rose one below),I sell this top on my website, visit pinkrosefashion.com. If you don't have a floral top or just want another one, Visit your local Target, Agaci or Express to purchase one!






5.       Knit jackets or sweaters-For Sunny day or rainy days jackets or sweaters are a must to carry or wear with your outfit. I love a boyfriend cardign similar from the one below, this one is on forever21 (I have one in orange and beige stripe), this sweater can be worn multiple ways, for work wear with a button up top or tee a skirt or pair of dressy or casual pants add this sweater for a warm touch!


6. Blue jean jacket- To some readers they might not agree with the "blue jean jacket" look, but what I have noticed it's a classic to have. You could wear this jacket pretty much with anything from a casual look to a dressy ensemble. I am in Education, which requires us to be on our heels all day, you need to wear comfortable shoes. At times it comes to mind what looks nice, but with a comfort look. That is right the blue jean jacket! Teachers can wear this jacket with a tee or blousy top ,khaki pants or a skirt and add those comfortable shoes! If maybe the campus does not allow blue jean jackets, any little jacket would be the right fit for any look! 

7. Patterns- I noticed a lot of Azetc prints are in, there are fabulous to wear with a skinny pair of jeans with heels (depending on the color(s) of the top, can wear any color of heel) or wear a top with rolled up jeans and flats, could add a hair accessories such as a braid. Stripes and Polk-a-dots are a great trend for 2012.

Thought of the day:
Live for tomorrow, as we are embracing the new year we should embrace the next days to come!
Laugh a outfit out, the best thing of cleaning out your closet is to go shopping and sales are always a plus! If you laugh at outfit you are feeling I could never wear, try it on. I've read that this 2012 is the year to wear something you normally would not wear!
Love those around you. It's great to see how family, friends and your significant other are by your side, tell them today that you love them. :)

New Year, New Resolutions, New Things

Ringing in the new year consists of being with family and friends and enjoying the times you have shared and are ready to share new memories with them. It’s a fun holiday! Although it’s a holiday that makes you ponder, “What is a way for me to change my perspective of things this new year? Of course I had to share my New resolutions, I will write them as a countdown.

1.       To write more! Of course it might sound cliché because I am on a blog site writing, you might think I’ve written many posts. However, with a busy schedule in life you really have to MAKE time to sit and record the thoughts you want to share. I am going to pursue my goal to write more. I love fashion and putting outfits together and I have always thought I want to share my ideas! 2012 is the year to begin!

2.       As I mention earlier being an educator and a student in college it’s a real juggle to fit everything in your schedule. I decided another New Resolutions is to MAKE time to do items on my list adding more hobbies in a day’s worth. I always do things for everyone that is what I like to do and this year I want to fit more time to do things as, baking cupcakes and just do things for youself. If every woman knows, you need some alone time to wine down from  a long day. (of course your man does that too, who do you think invent idea of alone time, one word MANCAVE). That’s a nice word to hear, women need a cave too!

3.        Being healthy! Every year you can tell yourself I will work out more, I will add that color in my life, by eating fruits. Though you might just do it for half the year, this year it is and will be everyday. (the fruit, eating healthier by adding fish, more fiber, balancing those proteins and carbohydrates to your diet). I wish I could go to the gym everyday! This year I also want to be more organized and I want to create a schedule (sounds silly), but schedules even if they are tentative to change it allows you to fit more in a day’s worth or at least try! If you saw my 11 must have items for 2011 I listed Zumba! I love Zumba and I want to do it a lot more this year!! As well as yoga, I love peaceful moments!

4.       Because I am an Educator, I want to make a resolution devoted to my teaching, I want to bring more engagement to the classroom. I noticed as the years pass by generations change on a everyday basis, sometimes especially with Science, the students can lose interest If they don’t see how is this shown in the real world. Science I know is all around us I want them to see that as well. I also want to do things right then and there, because “later” is not an option. I also want to have the opportunity to share thoughts (as I have) on an everyday basis with the students, end the period with something they learned in class, but also outside of class as well! Learning from each other is the best gift anyone can give or receive.

Since today is New Year’s Eve I want to devote some time to what every woman should have to celebrate the day/evening with Family and Friends.

1.       Cute hairstyle- Since it is a day that is only once a year, women don’t want to have that everyday style, they want a style that shouts out “New Years Day”! I love a good magazine, especially Glamour or Cosmo. They also have great articles of new hairstyles that women should display. For New Year’s Eve I like curls in hair with a pin on the side of your hair it looks classic and shows off your earrings!

2.       Bling bling purse- New Year’s day is all about showing that shine, I mean we are shinin’ in the New Year. (I know it’s ringin’ in, but I thought shinin’ that’s cute to rhyme as well).  Every girl should have a sparkle ensemble, whether it’s a sparkle purse or satin purse with some jewels on it.

3.       Accessories, Accessories and more Accessories- You can never have enough…Accessories that is, of course there our outfits that just need a simple necklace, ring or earrings to add to the outfit. Though for New Year’s I feel you can never have enough! Add the necklace, ring, bracelets, earrings, If your outfit is not to sparkley then sparkle it up with the accessories.

4.       Statement shoes- I decide to wear gold sparkly shoes for NYE occasion, but every woman should have shoes that shine in for the year! If your outfit is skinny jeans, a crop sparkle top add those sparkly shoes or fun festive shoes would be great. You can never go wrong with black classic pumps. If you are wearing a sparkle dress, show off those shoes!

5.       Pink or red lips-Some of the readers might feel that red lips just are for Christmas, but adding that color to your lips allows your outfit to pop. The pink (which I mean a glossy pink dark or light, depending on your pigment color to your face and outfit). The red lips always give a great look to the outfit, if you feel you are not into the reds lipstick, you could always get lipgloss that give off a tint of red or you could wear the red lipstick and add the shine by applying clear gloss. Another great color to add to lips if you are not into pink or red, would be goldish tint to your lips.

11 Things that were a must have for 2011.

     With a new year comes reflections on the old year. What better way to reflect then to have a list of what your Must have items were for 2011, 11 to be exact!

1.     Leather jacket--are always great in rainy weathers!

2.     Umbrella-I believe it's an essential needed to carry along in your car or leave it close by you. Especially if it is fabulous similar to the one below, zebra print from target!


3.     Stripes- I love a great stripe shirt, but simply blue and white always a classic!  Loft and Target have great stripe shirt collections.

4.     Leopard flats-a must, I have to say animal print will always be in every womans closet. It such a print that could be dress for a casual day at the park or musuem. Or for a date out in the town with your significant other or girls night out, prints are in!


5.     Skinny jeans-A good pair of skinny jeans is a girls best friend whether it bold colors, like red or blue or blue jeans or black are a must have. I couldn't live without my black skinny jeans, bought them from agacifashion.


6.     Nook-good books on the go and since everything is based on technology, this is a great sidekick to have!


7.     Zumba- Who doesn't love a great salsa workout? I feel at times being in Zumba learning the moves could feel as if your are going to be in a dance video learning the videos, well a girl could dream right? Zumba is a great fun workout and another must have for 2011. Though I have to say it rolls into the new year as well :) 


8.     Highlights- I was always the type that I did not want highlights, back in high school I had blonde hair, I love a great tint to hair. I always like the light on top, dark on bottom (but only as partial hair) or dark on top, light on the bottom. Highlights or lowlights in Red, carmel or blone highlights are a must have! I love victoria secret model, Alessandra her hair is always fabulous!

9.     Treatment spray- I know woman will agree, it's good to spray as much heat protectors and apply to the hair.

10.   Lipgloss-whether it's a strawberry flavored or minty, such as the one shown below from Bath and Body works, it such a great item to have access on the go and it's a great touch to lips.


11.  Magazines -Glamour or Cosmo, Instyle are my favorite the articles and style of clothes great to read.
