Spring 2012 Trends & My Faves

This post is all about matching the HOTTEST Spring trends of 2012 with the newest products from mark!!!  Plus I've included some of my personal favorite items from mark in my Spring haul video!


Spring Trend #1: Bright Bottoms
From the runway to the red carpet, from the office to high school, from celebrities to fashion lovers (like me),  this trend has popped up everywhere this Spring. Don't be afraid to mix bright colors!

Spring Trend #2: White Blazer

A basic white blazer is extremely versatile. How will you wear yours?

Wear it the mark way:

Spring Trend #3: The Watch

Watches are back in a big way. A masculine style watch is made feminine when you add a stack of bracelets.  A designer watch not in your budget? Try our mark version for a fraction of the cost. ;)

Spring Trend #4: Cropped Top

A great comfy casual look. If you're nervous about baring your belly (like me), add a razor back tank or cami underneath and let it slide off one shoulder.

Spring Trend #5: Crossbody Bag

I have been seeing these everywhere from high fashion to street fashion on women and girls of all ages. Wear it long with the strap across your chest or tuck the strap in the use it as a clutch.

mark Get The Look - Magalog 4 Spring Cover Girl

LOVE the look of our mark Magalog 4 cover girl? I do! She looks cool, casual, and chic in her Spring neutrals. She has a bohemian, 70s vibe while looking put together and sophisticated.

Shop http://egerlemann.mymarkstore.com/ -> click shop entire collection -> click fashion in the left column to order her outfit!

mark Boho Blend Scarf adds a pop of color to a neutral outfit. You might think Spring is too hot for a scarf, right? When you twist it like our mark cover girl it looks more like a necklace than a scarf. Plus this mark scarf is very lightweight and sheer. TIP: Check out YouTube for scarf tying how-to videos.

The mark Blaze The Way Blazer is right on-trend with Spring fashion. A light color, lightweight fabric, and ruched sleeves make it very wearable for Spring. Available in sizes S-XXL.

Watches are back! Make your mark Borrowed From The Boys Watch a little more feminine by stacking it with bracelets.

mark Bohemian Style Bag is a great neutral for any outfit.
