Brand Spankin New Year

The New Year has finally settled in, Pantone has declared Emerald Green the color
of the year, sheer garments are a thing of the past and Snooki is still on television. Time
to get ready for 2013 in a robust optimism. Perhaps buying that new dress a size too
small for the extra motivation at the gym. Here are some of my favorite new trends
for the spring and some predictions for the New Year ahead.

Lost In Trend Transition

The combat boots of fall and winter will carry into spring. Being matched with shorts and tights instead of heavy leggings and skinny jeans. Ombre hair will hopefully die out, but might still be adopted by the late adapters.

Bright colors all over will take over, being a more a statement piece. The question is
which color will you choose to match all of your spring outfits?

Heavy Hardware jewelry will still bring a hard edge to the jewelry industry. Filled
with pyramid shapes, arrows and other sharp. Maybe we are just preparing for an
impromptu hunger games.

New Styles on the Block

See through accessories Think of jellies with a little more class. I’m unsure if the entire world needs to know
all of my secrets and spy gear I keep in my going out bag. But airport security will
appreciate the trend. Maybe it will move to clothing and we can get our “traveling
suite” on whenever venturing great distances.

Fringes
A nod back to the 70’s and the Pocahontas purse you had when you were younger,
fringes bring sexy swinging addition to any outfit.

Gladiators
The strappy shoes made a slight appearance 2 years ago but made a strong
reappearance on the runways this year. Lets hope they include the lazy person
zipper option up the back.

Gypsy
Gypsy Weddings on TLC might bring out the worst oftentimes of this group. But
when placed in the designers hands, the results is a little less knock down drag out
girl fights and a little more jewel tones.

Totes
With bringing your own bag being a staple in stores, and a requirement in some
cities. See said Portlandia episode for perfect example. It also makes a more
affordable option to tote around your favorite brand, for a much lesser price than
the leather branded purse option.
