Graphics Galore

While we've seen techno-tribal bags, polka dot pumps, and other eye-popping, patterned accessories from seasons past, a plethora of lively graphics have captured the attention of the fashion industry once again! With an eclectic and exciting assortment of printed handbags and shoes, it's no wonder why designers have said goodbye to boring, solid-colored accessories and "hello" to energetic (and rather quirky) accent pieces for the spring 2012 season. 

Many prominent designers by the likes of Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, and Kate Spade are bringing this wild and playful trend back into the spotlight. But let's be honest, has it ever left? Au contraire, this bold fashion statement is continuing to take the fashion world by storm. Even celebrity tastemakers such as Rihanna, Beyonce, and Whitney Port have all been spotted sporting this trend. 

So, spice up your wardrobe with a bold, graphic-printed accessory, and take a walk on the wild side. You will surely be strutting down the streets in style.

Purr-fect Opening Ceremony

Industry favorites Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have been busy this season turning around Kenzo and reimaging it as a must-have brand. Lucky for us, that doesn't mean they've forgotten the cult brand that first blasted them into popularity: Opening Ceremony.

The spring 2012 line draws its inspiration from summer music festivals, ranging from England to Argentina, and then back to the U.S. The festival look, with obvious nineties influences, gives us a collection that will no doubt be everywhere by next summer's festivities. Combining a plethora of baby-doll and crop-top silhouettes, the line features this year's must-have (thanks largely in part to Grace Coddington) ... CAT FACES! Adorably imaged on many of the collection's white pieces, the cat faces are both graphic and cut out — but, in both cases, awesome.

Check out more pictures of the line after the jump, and start your new list of must-haves!
