Bold Pastels
Bolder pastels, mix matched in very unique ways were seen on the runways for spring 2012. Designers like Prada, Versace, Oscar de la Renta and many more showed us pastel blue, yellow, pink and green in every fabric imaginable. These colors you'd expect to see on just flowing sun dresses and loose fitting shirts… nope… these gorgeous colors were given an edgy look by popping up on denim, leather and tight fitting dresses.Image left: Prada Spring 2012











Bright Primary Colors
Designers showed us rainbows on the runways in bright yellow, orange, red, blue and green. There seemed to be nothing stopping them this season, so don’t be afraid to enjoy any color you love this spring from brights to pastels. Image left: Peter Som












High Gloss Fabrics
High gloss fabrics that resembled waves of water garnished the models at Theysken Theory, along with Chanel, Giorgio Armani and Reed Krakoff. Pair this high gloss fabric with linen bermuda shorts or with a sequin skirt for two very workable day or night looks. Image left: Theyskens Theory















High Waists
Designers have been touching or rather pushing this trend for a few seasons in a row. High waists on pleated pants, pencil and maxi skirts as well as shorts were seen on Gucci, Dries van Noten, Dolce & Gabbana and Suno.Image left: Gucci












Mad Prints
Prints you never thought would go together, apparently go together! I guess we needed DVF, Yves Saint Laurent and Vera Wang to show us how to work it! Pair those wild prints together and if that's just too much for you... simplify the look by pairing your favorite print top with denim or any neutral for the same great look.Image left: Diana von Furstenberg
















Spring Makeup and Hair Trends
Purple seems to be the "in" color this spring along with bright berry, coral and tangerine lips. Slow down the tweezing! Thicker and fuller brows can be seen on anyone from top models to celebrities. Put the blow dryer away this spring because bouncy and loose waves are in.Image left: Moschino











Modern Romance Trend
This trend incorporates everything sweet and elegant with classic or even edgy looks. Pair a ruffled top with your favorite tailored slacks or add some lace with a hot pair of leather leggings. Image left: Oscar de la Renta

















Prints Inspired by Nature
Peter Som, Dries van Noten, Suno and Dolce & Gabbana along with MANY other designers gave us stunning prints inspired by nature. From fish and coral at Versace to little birds at Carolina Herrera, there was nothing left to be seen when it came to finding inspiration from nature.Image left: Peter Som












Pleats
Nothing new here but seeing pleats in fresh pastels and in flowing light sheer fabrics gave the ordinary a refreshing look. Akris, Chloe, Gucci and Prada were among the many designers who incorporated pleat details in their 2012 spring collections. Image left: Prada

















Sporty
Khaki and safari sport inspired looks were seen at Michael Kors with oversized scarves and more tailored preppy versions were seen at Tommy Hilfiger. Donna Karen, Victoria Beckham, Rag and Bone, Vera Wang and many more designers gave us many variations to sport this sporty look for spring.Image left: Tommy Hilfiger














White Dress Shirts
The white dress shirt is such a staple in fashion and should already be owned by every women in the world, but designers managed to deconstruct it and were able to give us fresh variations for spring 2012.Image left: Ralph Lauren








Until next season...

2011 Fall Fashion Trend Report

The team at Portia Jewelry has put together a quick cheat sheet for some of the hottest trends for fall 2011. View them below and please share this info with your friends!

Colors - Gorgeous burnt shades of orange and yellow along with jewel tones in ruby red, purple and sapphire blue that you can use for city daytime looks as well as in evening attire.



60's Fashion - With less of a "Mad Men" Americana-feel from last season and more of a British-invasion version with mod 60's revival dresses (seen at Burberry Prorsum) and mary jane heels at Prada as well as great capes in soft wools and seen in an array of great colors.



70's Fashion - 70's Bohemian & 70's sophisticated glamour were seen all over the runways and have easily been transformed on the streets. Think high-waist pants with silk blouses and long shimmering and flowing dresses.



Faux Fur - Although real fur was seen at many of the major designer houses, we're opting to ignore it and shine more attention to faux fur this year. The quality of fur faux has certainly improved this year and paying a bit extra for it, is well worth it.



Jewelry - Chunky standout fashion jewelry continues to be the trend this season. Choose gold over silver in sleek choker necklaces and cuff bangle bracelets. Rose gold jewelry has been the latest style seen on many celebs and on the runways. Choose lots of sparkle and shine for your new year eve party outfit.



Plunging Necklines - Seen at Gucci along with many other designer shows offers a sexy appeal to chunky sweaters and long sleeve tops and dresses. This trend gives us a great reason to add a fabulous silk scarf keeping us from freezing while we sport this ultra chic look.



Bell Bottoms and Wide-Leg Pants - Don't give up your skinny jeans just yet.. just be grateful that there are some more options emerging. So whether you hate the skinny jean or just want to be able to sport more looks, you'll certainly be able to accommodate both issues with bell bottoms and wide legged pants.



Pleats - Seen on long flowing skirts and dresses to short minis were seen all throughout the runways and it seems this trend is going to go straight through to spring 2011.



Sheer and Sparkle - Think sheer maxi dresses and long flowing skirts this season. Sheer blouses tucked into pencil skirts and high-waist pants look insanely great with this seasons updated mary janes. Looking for sparkle on sweaters, cardigans and accessories are sure to keep you in style this season and looking a bit bright through these upcoming winter months. Don't just sport the sparkle and shimmer trend for evening!



Hair - Sweet braids, half up do's (think 60's), afros, waved bobs for short hair, loose relaxed waves and bangs are the way to go.



Make up - Think great standout lips in burgundy and reds.



Footwear - Chunky heels, platforms and mary janes embellished with studs, shimmering with rhinestones and rocked out with feathers. Riding boots and over the knee boots are easy to find in every price range, style and color this season.

Until next season...
