Fashion Color Trends 2012 For Spring/Summer 
The latest Fashion Weeks brought some really lovely trends with them for the upcoming warm season, yet the foundation, the base of these trends make colors, hues that underline, shape and define each and every creation in the newest collections from our favorite designers.
And although you may find it too early to start planning your spring/summer 2012 wardrobe, getting acquainted with what is in and what not in advance is always advisable. Therefore let’s start from the base, the foundation and get to know the colors the fashion designers used most often in their spring/summer 2012 collections.
Even though the variety of colors for spring/summer 2012 isn’t so wide, you are sure to find some lovely hues for you you’d like to wear in the new season with pleasure. From scorching red and vivid yellow to orange, elegant white and black, these colors guarantee your unique and incredible look. So here are the basic color trends for spring/summer 2012:
Today on the spot, the color Fuchsia:
                                                                 What I'm wearing:                                                          Denim jacket: Hammer jeans, leggings and dress: Temptation Boutique, Shoes: Via Uno, Earrings: Xtra-star 

Fuchsia is a bright, boisterous, and lurid color of pink that is a fabulous shade for a dress, and wearing it appropriately can give you a bold, trendy look for any season. Fuchsia is such an intense color, but it can be difficult to find appropriate complementary accessories to wear to finish off the look. If you have a gorgeous fuchsia dress and are dying to put together an outstanding and show-stopping outfit, but you are uncertain of what to wear with it, read on to discover some great suggestions that will create a beautifully balanced ensemble that flatters you and displays your keen fashion sense.
Top It Off
Whether it is spring or fall, evening events call for a chic cardigan or denim jacket to cover up bare skin from chilly breezes and bad weather. A fuchsia dress is such an exclamation of color that it is best to tone it down with a neutral colored cardigan or cover-up. Button-up styles add a preppy touch to the flashy look of a flirty fuchsia dress and, with a pocket, become functional and practical, as well as stylish. A cashmere formfitting nutmeg brown cardigan, like the one at Barney’s, is a perfect hip-skimming choice for an ebullient outfit. Though it is expensive, it is an easy to wear staple that will get used over and over.
Dress It Up
No outfit is complete without some gorgeous and well-considered accessories to make it look finished and pulled together. The cardigan and dress combo beg for a skinny belt to cinch in your waistline and bridge the colors. The Skinny Stud Tab Waist Belt is a brick red studded belt that complements the nutmeg tones of the sweater and the pink of the dress, while adding a touch of edgy charm to the entire outfit. Grab the perfect style from Linea Pelle for $115. The gold hardware is warm and classic, and the fit is flattering.
Never stop at just a belt, as accessorizing with jewelry will add sophistication and elegance to this expressive ensemble. Since the belt boasts gold tones, you should carry through the metallic inspiration with a chunky cuff bracelet. Something simple and textured will offset the overwhelming femininity of the outfit while still fitting in nicely. Try the Manumit Hammered Gold Cuff for a budget conscious $19.
If the weather turns against you, another on-trend option is to add a beautifully patterned scarf. It adds volume, highlights your face, and keeps you warm while you wait for the valet. Choosing one with a print adds a new element that breaks up the monotony of solid colors, as well. The Cream and Red Fox Print Scarf by Dorothy Perkins is whimsical and a steal at $21.

Step Out
Shoes are arguably the most important part of any outfit, and the ones you choose for this outfit are no different. Slightly masculine boots look fabulous juxtaposed with a girlish dress and feminine color. Pair your ensemble with some classic equestrian boots by Diane Von Furstenberg in a rich chocolate brown, in a nod to the preppy cardigan and in contrast to the flowing fuchsia dress.

With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate.

Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel.

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes.

So, that's an easy one, and you could just r...
