Everything She Wants

If Forever 21 's Spring 2012 preview is any indication, the season will be marked by several strong trends carried over from previous seasons.  For spring, Forever 21 fans can expect to find fun, flirty and feminine frocks; bold colors and pastel prints; Boho and mod dresses and accessories; romantic lace and girly jewelry; vintage-inspired looks and a bevy of cross-body bags. Here are a few of Everything She Wants' favorite looks: Forever 21 flirty frocks, feminine jewelry and cross-body bags. Forever 21 romantic blouses and lace tops.

Since many schools haven't even let out for the summer, I know it's too early to think about back-to-school shopping. But at least Forever 21 gives us something to look forward to.  The affordable retailer has all the trends we need for the fall season.   Everything She Wants got a sneak peek. Urban Chic : Mix-and-match soft and edgy fabrics like sheer lace paired with a cropped sweater and lace-up booties; or the Material Girl-reminiscent faux leather vest and lace leggings look. Hippie Chick: Flowing floral dresses, fringe and faux fur vests, floppy hats, and feather earrings are some of the key pieces for this bohemian trend. Romantic Times:  Be a trendsetter by pairing a lace top and cropped jacket and rhinestone accessories with funky animal print harem pants. Or achieve a vintage look in a lace top, skirt, and tights worn with a sequin jacket and flowery accessories.  Molly Ringwald circa Pretty in Pink would be proud.
