Queen of Denim: Rihanna

Hey Fashion Lurkers,

It's clear that Rihanna takes to the 90's classic trend, DENIM. She loves to rock a jean jacket with anything she is wearing. Rihanna will mix 2 different washes of denim or pair her denim up with body con dresses, maxi skirts, trousers, or even leggings. She is known for her rocker style with 90's grunge influence which works for her edgy personality. Here are some present and past looks of Rihanna being the Queen B of Denim.

2012 Women & Men's Spring Colors

According to Pantone, these are the color reports for women and men in Spring 2012. Now, the colors that are labeled on these charts are not the *only* colors that you have to wear in the Spring. This is just a diagram developed by a team that has pulled information from forecasting companies and high fashion runways to narrow down that the main colors that are being implemented in this season. So, don't feel pressured to have to buy every color you see on the above chart. However, I want you guys to be aware and informed about the colors of the season and the direction color forecasters have gone in for men and women in Spring 2012.

2012 Obsession: Neon Nasty

Neon is one of the biggest 2012 trends for the Spring/Summer and I would advise everyone to go and buy at least 1 article of clothing that is neon. Neons are flirty, loud, and chic if paired with the correct basics. Be careful how you pair your neons because they can come off as cheap looking if you over do it.

Trend Lurk: Monochromatic + Leopard

Clearly this is a rising trend among the people (2011-2012). I've been noticing people dressing in monochromatic colors with the accent of leopard shoes or a totally different color shoe/bag. However, infamous housewife Ne Ne Leakes and bestie Marlo Hampton have grown accustom to this trend.

Take notes ladies and gents, time to buy everything in the same color! DON'T forget the leopard.

2012 Trend Lurk: Colour Caging

I noticed a reacquiring trend as I was browsing through designers collection's from Mercedes Benz Fashion week Fall 2012. Most of the designers constructed garments that had a color blocking theme. Color blocking was also prominent last year, 2011, for the fall and this trend will continue to show face this season as well.

Color Blocking/ Colour Caging- 2 or more colors that are put together to form an outfit (separate pieces) or sewn together to make a geometric block appearance in one garment.

Trend Lurk: New Years Eve Dresses

These are the trends that will be on the racks in stores and at the New Years Eve Parties. You can choose to follow these trends or go another route to be different and stand out. My prediction is that the Sequin Trend will be insane for the holiday. Choose wisely ladies or you may be a victim of "Bitch stole my Look!"
