Neon-Centric
 |
| Aldo shoes, Brimfield on sale now $44 |
From separates to accessories, neons are everywhere this season. Bright neons are not new to the fashion savvy but to bring this trend into 2012, wear it with neutrals. Beige and camel colour pairings are the most modern approach to this look. If you don't want to go quite so dramatic, check out Aldo neon rimmed wedges or an oversized envelope clutch.

| To really step up this look, bring in the colour blocking trends by mixing in a few different shades as seen at Rag & Bone |
Flock Frock
The animal appearing all over the runways this season, no not the zebra (thank you!), is the bird or more specically their feathers. Look for blouses or skirts with a plummage print.

Mint Fresh
Every season is defined by a colour. Whether it be last year's bright orange or winter's royal blue, a moment in fashion can always be identified by what colors are dominating the runways. This year will be cited as mint green. Try on this look in the form of minty green skinny jeans, or a pleated maxi skirt. |

Dramatic Flare
Have a cocktail party or a destination wedding to attend to this summer? The peplum dramatizes an ultra-feminem silhouette and will be sure to turn some heads too. If you're looking for a statement piece, a peplum skirt, jacket or dress is sure to be your perfect accoutrement.

Every season fashion focuses on one body part to stand out for all to see. This year is the midsection. If you're not daring enough to bare it all, a slightly more conservative approach would be the ultra-popular transparency trend. Most flattering in neutral shades, an oversized sheer blouse is perfect for layering over your crop top.

Pretty Pastels
Crackled nail polish no more. When you go to get your next manicure be sure to ask for Spring pastels; lavender, muted yellow, pale blue and of course mint green.
Sporty Attire
It's no surprise current events greatly influence designer's perception of fashion. This being an Olympic year is no exception. Athletic wear has been seen time and time again throughout fashion history. The difference being this year, sportwear has been elevated to a more sophisticated and refined podium. Don't want to be left on the sidelines? Try incorporating perforated mesh high heels, drawstring detail shirts and anorak jackets into your wardrode.

No Fuss
Since summer has always been about ditching the layers and baring down to your natural beauty. S/S '12 hair should be worn slicked back off the face. Leave the rest of your hair loose for a toussled eu naturel look. Trying to grow those bangs out? Keep your hair simple, no hair accessories required.

No summer season is complete without a dominant white theme. To off'set your all white outfit, accent with every woman's favourite shade: black! The black and white theme is the ultimate refined and modern emsemble that will ensure you are ready to go from day time BBQ's to meet friends at a rooftop patio.
