Fall & winter draw nigh; while most are focused on warm sweaters and a fabulous
red dress for their Holiday parties, I cannot get enough of the Spring 2012 runway! Bold colors, soft fabrics and brass button accents are a taste of the eye-catching trends that will leave everyone salivating as you pass them on the streets.
The best, and most, intriguing bit of fashion the past few seasons is the eclectic mix of styles ranging from the '40's to Boho(Maxi's!! I hope these stick around for awhile) and the heavily present '60s style. Thank you, Mad Men! (Side note: where is that show!? Rumor says 2012 is the return. Let me tell you, AMC, I am getting rather impatient) But I digress.
With new trends pulling from various styles from the past, scoring a high end look while living on a recession budget is easier than ever thanks to the skilled eyes of "Vintagers"(or as most call them, vintage sellers).
Honestly, I was lost for hours gasping and "oooo"-ing the spring lines and selected below are high end designer looks compared to a lower cost vintage alternative.
