Trending in 2012: Colored Denim

Forget Apple Bottoms — candy-colored jeans are even sweeter. No longer exclusive to our pre-teen pasts, these bright hues make a bold statement and lend themselves well to both monochrome and color-blocking trends.

J.Crew's spring denim line comes in a spectrum of colors ranging from "light citron" to "festival green." But if you're not ready to don a "neon persimmon," the Gap has an eye-catching electric blue pair that's less daring, but just as unique. Try tucking a striped top or a colorful button-up shirt into your jeans and then top the look off with a skinny belt for an outfit that's classic in shape but so 2012 in color.

Jeans Gone Wild

Animal print jeans are more popular than ever, with several different styles to be found at J Brand, Current/Elliot, rag & bone, and the Gap. Animal patterns are here to stay for the season, so it may be wise to figure out how to rock this hot style now.

From a chill night in to a glamorous night out, there's a specific animal print for every occasion. When you're feeling a bit out of the norm and in the mood to stand out in a crowd, go with colored leopard print skinnies with a flowy top and ankle-strap stilettos, Fashionologie suggests. With a loud look like this, you'll be bound to please the masses with such exotic fearlessness.

For a more professional feel, try a black, white, and gray print with a boldly striped sweater, booties, and a bag that adds a splash of color to the mix. Fashionologie describes this specific style as one that will "tame the wild print."

The classic camel coat

It's that time of year again! With the bitter chill of winter upon us, we mourn the loss of the suns hot rays by wearing those mundane coats. We're all guilty. I know you own that dark (usually black) colored coat that sits in the closet until you feel that big gust of wind telling us it's time to bundle up. Luckily, the runways this season are saving us from the bitterness, as camel colored coats are a must have this season. Just like the color black, camel goes with everything you wear, not to mention it adds a little flair to you day. From blonde, caramel, and burnt toffee - there are a plethora of colors to choose from for any occasion, whether you're heading to work or going out to get the groceries. As a timeless piece, designers like Alexander Wang and Chloe have featured camel coats on their runway, but you don't have to spend an arm and a leg - H&M and the Gap have wonderful camel coats just under $70. Throw one on with long legged trousers and flats to keep it professional or you could make a statement by wearing skinny jeans and black knee high boots. No matter how you dress it, the camel coat is the hottest trend for the season and definitely on top of my Christmas list.
