Fall 2012 Fashion Trends - Brocade and Such

Another fashion trend for Fall 2012 is anything ornate:  brocade, velvet, guilded, embellished, etc.  It's a baroque revival.  The key word is opulent!  Here are a few examples.

Fall 2012 Fashion - dSquared2 Fall line is awesome!

Lately I have been perusing the Fall 2012 fashions.  Some of the top trends are baroque, oriental, plaids, peplums, and the school girl look (my favorite).  Unfortunately, I am greatly disappointed in clothes for the Fall.  Almost everything is highly structured, formless, and just plain UGLY!  But, I absolutely love almost everything in the dSquared2 Fall line.  Take a look!

Spring 2012 Fashion Trend - Metallics

Another fun fashion trend for Spring 2012 is metallics.  Here are a few photos, past and present.  If your personality is not "dramatic" enough to wear it full on, then try some metallic accessories instead.
