Helmut Lang

Zara

If you are looking to add some of the hot new Spring 2012 trends into your wardrobe, look no further than Zara.   Here are our picks for the best of Zara’s Spring offerings;

Polka-dots are huge this spring.  Pair this top with a great short and ankle boot combo.

The Pointy-toe shoe is also a big trend this Spring.  This leather pair from Zara are only $79.99.

I adore this Asymmetrical top. It’s reminiscent of Helmut Lang and it’s a tenth of the price.   It looks amazing with the leather studded cream jacket for $299.00

It’s all about Pastels this Spring.  This peach blazer is a steal at $79.90.

Mint green is a big colour this season as is the Pleated skirtZara puts a whole new spin on the skirt with this asymmetrical version.

3 Hot Spring Trends for 2012

It’s all about floral patterns and prints this spring fashion season.  Forget everything anyone ever told you about being too matchy matchy or mixing bold prints together.  Everything and anything goes this spring with the new “it” prints.  Floral pants are huge, the bolder the better.  There is a real focus on femininity but with a decidedly subversive twist.  Edgy floral and prints are a way to add a modern sensibility to your spring wardrobe.

Athletic chic is a huge trend for Spring 2012.  Take bold hues and temper it by neutral tones as seen in this sporty BCBG dress.  Helmut Lang brought out a gym locker sensibility by matching the cropped sporty pants with his signature moto sports inspired jacket.

Sorbet hues are huge for Spring.  Mint green is the hot colour of the season.  Lilac and lemon yellow look great together, paired with an icy blue shoe.  Peach, blush, nude are also very “on-trend” this spring.  The soft colours and simple silhouettes, make this an extremely wearable trend.

It’s not an easy feat to look stylish in the dead of winter.  When I see someone doing it well, I have to stop and ask,  “What are you wearing?”  Danna Heitner, of Art & Interiors is the epitome of “winter chic.”  She is wearing a touque by Theory, which works well with her long straight hair, and a Helmut Lang down coat which I am obsessed with,  a pair of AG grey black skinny jeans,  an Alexander Wang oversized turtleneck sweater and a pair of the best winter boots I’ve ever seen.  I had Davids on speed dial the minute I found out where she bought them.  They are Jimmy Choo motorcycle boots with a fur lining, and a must-have for the cold dreary months.  The piece de resistance is, the infamous Proenza Schouler PS1 Mini Crossbody Satchel in black.  It is the much coveted accessory of the season.  Overall, a fabulous winter look.
