With all of last week's fashion buzz focused on Fall trends from New York Fashion Week, it's easy to forget that Spring actually comes first - and we're about ready to banish the Winter blahs by getting a head-start on spring trends. Here are the five styles we think you'll be after this Spring, and how you can get them now.



Peep-Toe Booties

Add a peep-toe to your cold-weather bootie and it's basically ready for spring. Pair these peep-toes with skinny pants or your favorite short dress for a cool counterpoint to Spring's floaty fabrics. We like these cut-out and grommet booties by Boutique 9 ($179.95) for their rock-and-roll quality. Plus, you can wear them with colored tights while it's still cool out.




Feathers

Toned-down feathers are one of our favorite ways to add texture this Spring. You can throw on this breezy feather top from Patterson J. Kincaid ($52) with a pair of sleek skinny jeans and a blazer, or dress it up with a simple miniskirt and pair of sparkly earrings.



Asymmetrical Dresses

Celebrities have been rocking the one shoulder look all over the red carpets, and we're thinking of trading in our standard black dresses for a bright daytime version of this style - this yellow Victoria's Secret number ($68) is sweetly sexy.




Lingerie-Inspired

Spring lines were full of lacy camis, slips and even tap shorts that might make you question whether they belong over or under your clothes. We'd prefer to just hint at the trend with a lace lined tank like this one ($101.99) - wear it under a blazer or with super dark jeans for a night out.

Fashion Trends For Spring 2012

Let's start out with what's up with fashion color trends...

The big color trend for 2012 spring/summer is mint green... Yes you read right - mint green is the biggest color trend for the up coming season. The racks will be full of fashions that all done up in a soft whimsical version of mint green .

Another color trend being you will see this spring, especially in handbags and shoes is neon's. Such as bright blues, yellows, greens, oranges, and hot pinks.

Do you Crochet? Well it's back... Crochet vests are big this spring, maybe you can look to the back of your closet . maybe you might have a bit of a crochet number lurking.

The color that jumps out at the head of the line for this spring when it comes to neon shades, is orange! Less face it there is no other color that can make a loud fashion statement as bright orange. So need a new handbag or a great pair of shoes? Make it orange.

Belt bags are one of the great big trends... However, I am not talking "fanny packs'...Stick to the new small square flat belt bags - so cute, and less weight to carry on that shoulder.

Feet need a rest This spring kitten heels are big... The kitten heel is a good choice this spring. They are feminine, and classic, as well as comfortable.

Creamy neutrals, all done up to give you a very feminine look. Flowing pajama - styles, tunics. All meant to be classical, and again comfortable.

Think whimsical pattrens. From bird prints to deers, fruit, feathers, you name it, tops with whimsical prints are big. You will see everything from blouses to dresses all sporting Whimsical prints.

Stripes - Stripes seem to hold a place in fashion year after year. You can't go wrong wearing stripes, from head to toe...

High-Waisted flare pants are so big this spring... The pant that Katharine Hepburn made so popular, is back... I suggest you pair this style of pants with a great heel, just to give the old look a bit of flare. The new flare pant as a rule have loops for a skinny belt, so you can flash up the look with a flashy thin belt.
