Bohemian-Hippie-Flower Power you name it
Call it the way you want, Hippie, Bohemian, Flower Power, Hobo, Boho, and wear it with floral printed materials, head bands, lots of necklaces, rings, and jeans, but most important, feel free to use them all.
Bohemian, besides being peoples from the Bohemia zone in Europe, refers also to an early 19th century movement characterized for its unconventional lifestyle. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood embraced this new way of life, believing in expressing freedom away from conventionality. William and Jane Morris, Annie Miller, Elizabeth Siddle and Dante Gabriel Rossetti expressing in design and art with a liberated style.
Back in 1950 a hipster group of people was experimenting with a laid back style with colorful, psychedelic, patchwork clothing, sometimes ethnic inspired, incorporating American Indian designs and Afghan textiles.
This style reflected in the 60′s and 70′s Beatnik, Flower Power and Hippie movements, bearded with flowers over the long hair and bare feet as a way of expressing this liberating freedom, adding the wide use of denim jeans, sometimes stone washed, stressed and mixed with leather, embroidery and patchwork, combined mostly with large-flowered blouses, scarves and plaid shirts also.
For 2012 trends point towards this freedom style as many designers jump on this wave and include much of this elements on the runaway. Find Moschino, Tommy Hilfiger and many more fashion houses.
Combine flowered blouses, dresses and skirts, use denim jackets over them with long necklaces, shawls rings and headbands create a very personal and fun style that fits you and most of all, feel the freedom in nature, feel the grass and run barefoot.

Trendy colors for spring summer fashion 2011-12
For this summer and maybe the next one (who knows?) find a variety of beautiful colors to wear and feel trendy.
Although many of us know all about primary and secondary pigments, and also about the seven spectral colors produced in the rainbow. But for the fashion industry universe there are much more colors.
Naming colors is like creating them anew some of them derived from the same object presenting that color, such as “orange” or “salmon“, while others are abstract.
Some of the combinations are color shades (originally a shade was produced by adding black) depicting variations to this same color depending in brightness, saturation and tint (produced by adding white).
For the summer of 2012 trend we have a Orangeade color. Canary yellow, Poppy, Grass also called foliage, Tiffany blue is so pretty, Ink, Anemone, sandstone, and more, but names are less important than the colors themselves, so make your choices and feel free to combine.
Look for some color charts here:

Boot thong flat sandals or when fashion trends go wrong
Flat sandals with boot thong in the Chanel Cruise 2011/12 fashion show.
I really love Chanel but, what was Karl thinking this time?
This roman style inspired boot thong, semi-gladiator, flat sandal or “Tango thong”, does not look any confortable for the models wearing them. Abbey Lee Kershaw, Sigrid Agren and Melissa Tammerijn, walking extravagant on the runway with their toes popping out. We expect perfection from a brand like Chanel.
And Versace Spring-summer 2012 men’s wear gladiator sandals with socks (!!??)
