Fashion skirts summer 2012
The classic set of a cut has a purpose to emphasize the waist, where
they also use belts of different widths. There are not many skirts
placing "on the hips" as it was in previous seasons.
"Midi" length is relevant for more than one season and may seem too
strict. Designers claim that "midi" skirt may be so varied and
interesting, and it will be a favorite one in your wardrobe. What can be
more beautiful than a graceful feminine ankle?
Pleated skirts are fashionable. The skirts pleated at the waist look
very romantic and feminine. Fashionable length is up to the knee and
down to the ankles.
Provocative cut of the "maxi" skirt makes the dead skirt more playful
and flirtatious. The tissue - is dense and lightweight, translucent. And
there should certainly be the high waist.
The complex cut of some skirts is like the architecture in motion.
These models look unusual and impressive. They require simple shades -
both bright and muted.
Skirt of "pencil" shape, tightening the hips, is ideal for offices,
but, being made of lightweight fabric, will be advantageous to emphasize
the advantages of your figure and ordinary daily life. Interesting
prints will make this style more elegant and a little bit more
thoughtless.
The models above the knee can be very useful for the summer. Bright prints, simple cut and high waist.
Long maxi skirts are actual in the new season, but they become more
interesting. Simple tiered models are diluted by the original print,
transparent fabrics, and are complemented by the straps. The main thing
for the skirt is to "fly" in the wind.

Summer Trends...Hairstyle
Tired of seeing the same old mane in the mirror?
You don’t have to chop your tresses for a bit of hot summer style.
We’ve got the five sexiest star looks to reinvent your do for summer
without making the cut.
Selena Gomez’s long wavy bob
Selena Gomez’s long wavy bob
For a sleek beach-y look, ideal for an evening dinner out, try Selena Gomez’s
long wavy bob. After blow-drying, taking small sections of hair, and
using a curling iron (barrel down), create soft waves starting three
inches away from the root. We love the addition of a part just left of
centre for a sassy and sultry look.
Jessica Chastain’s romantic half updo is all in the details. If you typically wear your hair long and loose,
try this stunning style for a change. After creating some loose waves,
tease slightly at the crown for volume. Part your bangs just an inch or
two back from your hairline and let them frame your face; sweep the
remaining top tendrils back and secure. An embellished comb completes
the ethereal feel.
Candice Swanepoel’s sexy waves
For sexy waves like Candice Swanepoel’s,
use a large or triple-barrelled curling iron two inches from the root.
Or if you’ll be strapped for time, plan ahead and opt for a loose bun
with leave-in conditioner the night before. We’re feeling the
asymetrical part as a bohemian touch to this beach-babe style.
Julie Henderson’s relaxed milkmaid braid
For ladies who want to twist again this summer, Julie Henderson’s milkmaid braid
is weaving some wonderful possibilities. Imperfection is the key to
this perfect look. Keep your bangs slightly dishevelled and let them
frame your face. After you’ve completed your braid, take the thin end of
a comb and pull some sections out gently for an irregular quality.
Elegant, no?
Kate Bosworth’s waves
If you are wearing you hair wavy or if you’re fighting your natural wave, take note of Kate Bosworth’s
dazzling do. Giving it her typical fashion-forward spin, Kate works
some hair oil in at the roots for a subtle wet look and flips the hair
over and across her natural part to pump up the volume. With the soft
waves cascading in front, she looks like a 2012 Veronica Lake.

Hats Summer 2012
In the fashion trends of women's headwear for spring-summer 2012 there
are three main lines: hats, caps and turbans. Each of them emphasizes
the style selected by the designer, and it is subject to trends for
spring summer 2012.
The collections of leading fashion designers present the hats of the
20s, elegant and almost weightless, with ribbons, with small brim and
without it, and also mischievous hats of the dashing 40s with their
gangster wars and bootlegger. In the "retro" style of women's hats it’s
popular to use female and male models in the summer 2012.
Wide-brimmed hats – are an independent trend of the season, successfully blending in with the general direction of femininity, lightness and glamour. Their design may contain the retro aesthetics, including the Victorian one, and the modern unexpected solutions. The choice of material dictates the shape of the hat: hard and geometric or soft with flowing brim.
Among the theme directions in hats, we see a maritime theme, and for the women, who love Westerns, fashion trends for summer 2012 give "green light" for the hats in the cowboy style. Preferably, the male version of the cowboy hats is used; it emphasizes femininity and strengthens the dashing image. It is appropriate to use metal finish, which is popular this season.
Decor and color solutions are quite predictable: bright and pure
colors, prints, pastels and metallic colors, transparency, gloss, lace
and flowers. Among the two-colored hats color trend blocks are
individually allocated, not only with the use of black and white, but
the combination of different colors. Materials may be quite different:
fabric, straw, plastic, you can even use crocheted models; the most
important thing is the style.
We love them! Do you..?
Love,
Vittoria

Fashionable caps of spring-summer 2012 may be: voluminous, bright and
glamorous, as well as made in sports or militaristic style. Sports theme
is not limited to baseball caps; we should single out the cap peaks and
the caps without posterior half, made of straw or plastic, transparent
and colorful design.
Turbans, different bands and headscarves form another popular trend of
headwear in summer 2012. Twisted in a knot, or falling on the shoulder,
bright or one-colored, with or without prints, they attract attention
and create a unique image.
We love them! Do you..?

...♡Makeup♡...
From dramatic cat eyes to citrus lips, let's take a look at some of the hottest makeup trends for summer 2012.
Love,
Arianna
Bright lips
Once again this summer, bold, bright lips are sizzling. From tangerine to cotton candy pink and deep burgundy to cherry red, stock up on lipstick for the summer. When you are wearing high impact lip color, keep the rest of your makeup very neutral and clean. That's the best way to make your lips really pop.Double-edged cat eyes
When you get made up for a summer party or a special date, consider cat eye makeup. The cat eye look is hot once again, and this season, the double-edge cat eye is extremely trendy. So wing out your liner on both the bottom and the top to achieve this sultry look. Experiment with metallic eyeliner, as well as deep shades of plum and aqua blue.Dramatic lashes
For the past year or so, it's been all about the brows, but this summer the lashes are what's important. Apply two coats of volumizing, lengthening mascara to get long, thick lashes that really stand out. Also, don't be afraid to try false eyelashes and experiment with eyelash extensions. When it comes to eye shadow, metallics -- from frosty silver to deep gunmetal to shimmery bronze -- are ideal for summertime.Mint nail polish
Mint green is hot in fashion and hits the beauty scene in the form of nail polish. Mint looks just as fabulous when you are wearing crisp white fashions as it does when you are wearing your favorite LBD.The natural look
This summer it isn't all about high glam. For everyday makeup, stick to the natural look. Skip the heavy foundation and just even out your skin tone with a touch of tinted moisturizer. Brown eyeliner and a coat of brown mascara are enough on the eyes. Light pink (or peach) blush and clear lip gloss finish off the natural summer look. To make your eyes look bigger and clearer, add a little bit of white eyeliner near the inner corners. Carry plenty of blotting tissues with you to keep shiny skin at bay and maintain a fresh, natural look all day.Love,
Arianna

3. H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS jacket. From neon iPhone cases to the above neon-patterned jacket, H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS (FAA) line is raising funds and awareness the fun way: through awesome, affordable clothing.

7. LED bracelets. Raving may not be good for our bodies, but it CAN be good for the environment. Invest in some reusable glowing bracelets, so that the radioactive goop inside of those disposable ones doesn’t end up in the belly of an earthworm.
Bonus! Do-it-yourself neon shorts. You didn’t think we’d talk about charity and not tell you how to help yourselves, did ya?! Check out this AHHH-MAZING neon shorts video tutorial on how to turn an old pair of pants into summer, neon hotness. The vid is totally act approved, as turning jeans into shorts is just another form of recycling…right?!

8 Styles Of Shoes To Make A Statement Out Of Summer
It’s one of many ‘numbers’ you never want to share with the world.
Age. Lovers. Shoes. It’s considered socially unacceptable to discuss
many such numbers, and the latter in is included amongst them as a girl
can never have enough shoes in her closet by to publicise a number is to
appear gauche.
Each season, we see styles change, heels evolve and the colour
palette go wild. However, this summer, the perfect ‘in fashion’ shoes
are not defined by the length of the heel or the type of shoe, but more
about how each pair is fabricated and embellished.
Shoes that are making a girl’s heart pump this season are already
buzzing on the windowsills of various stores. But we’ve taken the stress
off your next laborious shoe-shopping trip by narrowing down eight shoe
styles that are a creating a name for
themselves this spring / summer
2012.
If you’re a woman, you have no reasons to not continue reading after
the jump. Chances are, you’ll love us a fraction more by the time you
reach the bottom of this post.
1.Perspex heel
It’s the shoe that reveals all, and what better season for it than
summer? The perspex / clear heel shoe is one of the boldest, most
telltale shoe styles this season (make sure you book in for a pedicure).
No secrets here, as a panel of plastic-type transparent material
settles around the toes or stands tall as the heel. This
almost-invisible footwear gives an alternative edge to an outfit,
especially when styled with leg-baring trends of the season.
Our pick:
The dramatic gold spiking hidden in the perspex heel makes the above Donna Karan sandals a must-have for the season.
2. Wrapped up
Ornamenting an above-the-knee dress, the ankle-hugging footwear
promises to add a sensual twist to the leg show. Adding sex appeal to an
outfit, this style of shoe wraps around the ankle, but not in a winter
ankle-boots manner. It’s a summer style that provides extensive support
to the feet. The ankle can be dressed up in various forms such as, an
ankle strap, crossover paneling or laced up gladiatorial-style.
Our pick:
The neon primrose tones brighten up these nude Reed Krakoff’s wedge sandals; they’re deceiving, yet full of character.

3. Metal toe cap
Not only would it make you feel like Kate Moss upon Louis Vuitton’s
carousel-themed spring / summer 2012 show, but a metal toe capped shoe
has the potential of adding a futuristic tone to an ensemble. It’s a
subdued take on the metallic trend
for spring, but done in clever and sleek style. Mostly seen on a
pointed-toe, pump style shoe, the metal cap has a chic sheen that
definitely preps up a boring court shoe.
Our pick:
Invest in these flapper-style, satin Yves Saint Laurent pumps, or opt for this classic black and metal piece from ASOS.
4. Neon hues
Without blinding anyone or feeling as though you’re in a laser show,
the electric colours are on high-rotation this season. If not through
clothes, at least inject these bright shades via shoes into your
wardrobe. The high-voltage florescent colours to look out for are
yellow, pink, green and orange. In need of happy feet, anyone?
Our pick:
These fun neon colour-blocked Giuseppe Zanotti shoes would make a statement bold enough for the summer months. While these Brian Atwood pumps break all traditional rules.
5. Tribal
What’s a summer without an overused passport? Channel your modern nomad by adding textured and printed tribal
shoes to your wardrobe. The tribal trend comprises of a rich, earthy
colour palette and intricate African-inspired detailing, however, with
shoes, it’s usually translated into being more geometrical and
directional. Team tribal-inspired shoes with low-key clothes, as this
would highlight the wild accessory sitting pretty on your feet.
Our pick:
6. Flower power
Why limit this predictable spring / summer print to the clothes, when
you can dress your feet with fresh blooms and petals? This shoe has the
power to be tagged as the go-to accessory for this season, as it
incapable of disappointing you with its ability to flower over your
attire.
Our pick:
These monochromatic sandals by Jimmy Choo with an oversized red rose would also ignite the spring fire on your feet.
7. White shoes
The colour white owes a lot to the summer season, as it’s the heat
that essentially brings out the cooling element of the shade. This
season, as with all others before it, the colour is working itself
through wardrobes, making white shoes one of the statements of spring /
summer 2012. If you’re going to give the alabaster-tone shoes a go this
season, make sure you pay extra attention to the material you’re
investing in; leather or snakeskin are most durable options.
Our pick:
These metal-studded flats by Kg by Kurt Geiger are perfect, casual way to style a pair of straight-legged pants.
8. Pencil heels
Contrary to the chunky variety, the pencil heels are self-explanatory
in many ways. It’s emerged out of the classroom and into the shoe
closet with its sky-high length and sexy silhouette. The pencil heel is
mostly a shiny metal, giving you leeway to pick the colours and style
for the rest of the shoe. From ankle-strap sandals to spring boots, a
pencil heel would punk up any shoe style.
This unconventional heel instantly updates your wardrobe to being
more modern and sharp. This heel means business and if that’s what your
spring wardrobe is aiming towards go crazy with this shoe style.
Our pick:
Sex, fetishism and glamour, that’s the message these River Island ankle boots are sending across. These Kurt Geiger peep-toe mules in patent leather are another kind that would add flair to a spring outfit.

Accessories...Summer 2012
It's not all about clothes, a lot depends on the right fashion accessories!
"Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day. They can completely change the look of an outfit, and women like the idea of having a wardrobe that's versatile. For instance, a strong piece of jewelry can make a simple outfit look elegant." - Giorgio Armani. Ultra-femme pastel pinks and delicate silver are all the rage when it comes to bags and jewellery this season. This soft colour is versatile and you can wear it in layers – try a layered silver necklace with pink bead detail or bracelets with pink ribbon woven in.Hair pieces are very much in focus this year, so don’t just see them as functional. Look out for oversized hair clips with diamanté detail, especially in feminine designs like bows and flowers. Thin alice bands in pastel shades and subtle, bronzed (not glittery) metallic are a good look this year, and if you’re feeling bold, why not try wearing more than one at a time?The theme and tone for accessories this year is pretty, feminine and subtle. That doesn’t mean it has to look understated – mix up statement colors and layer lots of pieces for a wilder look.
Corset-belts
Perfect for emphasizing feminine, lady's figure, corset-belts are totally modern this season.
Open (cuff) bracelets
Interesting and sexy, open the so called "cuff" bracelets could be seen by many designers. Popular are the thin, broad or webbed styles in smooth metal or wood.
Short (choker) necklaces
Wide or narrow, flat, tubular or mesh - short "choker" necklaces are hit this season! They are now re-designed and refreshed.These necklaces are combined with a simple T-shirts, shirts and fitted jackets.
Exotic belts
This season, the real "must have" are the exotic materials, or their synthetic versions.
Love,
Arianna
