The spring/summer 2012 runway is brimming with swirls, spots, floral, stripes, and more prints of every size and shape. Designers have even dared to mix different prints, as well as do head-to-toe print. It seems that this fashion season is daring us to be bold.

Chosen a dress but don’t know how to style it?  To give you hand I’ve created a few sets to hopefully start you off, so you can have a slight idea of how you might want to put your gorgeous outfit together.  It’s normal to see something beautiful, then you buy it but when you take it home you don’t have a clue what shoes, what accessories, what bag would look good with it.  I’m sometimes like that so most of the time I put on my centre piece and spend hours trying to figure out what I should pair it with, then I end up getting stressed out, my clothes are everywhere, shoes all over the floor and the whole room is a mess.  So I think it’s sometimes nice to have somebody to put together a few examples to show me what might look good with the main piece.  Having an image of the overall outfit before you start digging everything out from your wardrobe is very important!

Did you know that more than half of women are pear body shaped? When it comes to find the perfect dress, it’s not only look for one that’s the right size, but one that flatters your body.
A style of dress that is more flattering on these women are ones with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. A fitted top decorated with sequins or embellishments in addition to a flared skirt draw attention away from the hips to create the illusion of a more proportional body.

Each and every one of these dress have a ruffled tulle skirt, which don’t overemphasize the hips. Instead, they emphasize your waistline. The overall appearance of cute, perky, and fun!

According to Pantone, the world-renowned authority on color, the representative color for 2012 is “Tangerine Tango“ (PANTONE® 17-1463), a vivid reddish orange that perfectly expresses the vibrant promise of the season. It is bright, passionate, vivacious, and optimistic.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.” (Source: Pantone.com)

Of course, the top designers have joined the color blast bandwagon, splashing the runway with the juicy orange hue.

Many women would be surprised that they are actually wearing the wrong bra size.. and are most likely wearing a bra too small! According to many studies, over 80% of women aren’t wearing the correct bra size. Are you one of them? This means that only 1 or 2 women out of every 10 are wearing the correct size! Bra pictured above: Fashion Forms

How to find the correct size:

Step 1. Get some measuring tape and measure around the width of your chest, directly under your bust. Hint: Round to the nearest whole number.

Step 2. Measure the fullest part of your bust. Only do this while wearing a non-padded bra!

Step 3. Do the math. Subtract the number that you got in step 1 from the number that you got in step 2. For each inch in difference, the cup goes up by one size. (The chart below makes this a little easier to understand)

What’s happening in the fashion world right now? Exposed shoulders are having a moment. We spotted them everywhere from draped dresses to jackets and tops, as you can see in our collage above. They have been embraced by designers such as Temperley London, Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen, and Carlos Miele. The shoulder is the new erogenous zone and we think that it’s here to stay! Here is how to get this trend in your wardrobe without breaking the bank with MissesDressy.com:

 This Knit Dress designed by Nue by Shani is absolutely gorgeous! I definitely see it as something that can be both dressed up, or dressed down. I even see it as a perfect career dress, if paired with a blazer, or a night-on-the-town dress when paired with a clutch and strappy heels!

This Lace Dress by Aidan Mattox is my favorite pick thus far. With its ivory color  and short-but-not-too-short length, how can you you not drool over this dress?

You know what I love more than seeing pictures of dresses? Seeing their flow and movement when someone’s wearing them (though I usually wish I was the one wearing the lovely dresses). Speaking of dresses and their flow, the sneak peak video of Tony Bowls’ upcoming Spring 2013 collection is out and let me tell you, it’s definitely enough to make any girl and/or woman’s heart beat fast and lust after every dress that goes down the runway. And guys, this is just a sneak peak.
