(All from MANGO)
An amazing departure from my "USUAL" looks, I decided to go channel my nautical prepster self in this SAIL AWAY inspired business casual outfit. I love how red, black, white and khaki all mix together for the perfect sailor inspired look. The blazer and trousers (which believe me are hard to find a pair for me) are so totally a breath of fresh air and a new thing in my wardrobe.
Hey, change be good sometimes too!

MANGO SPRING/SUMMER 2012
Mango has always been a favorite go to brand of mine. For years, I have relied on the brand for my fashion fix. Known for their feminine vibe mixed with sexy, classic silhouettes, their Spring 2012 Collection definitely embodies the signature style that has made the Spanish-based brand recognized globally as a major retailer in fashion.
With fashion's it-girl Kate Moss headlining the brands current collection, I have to say... for MANGO, it just keeps getting better.
With a versatile array of pieces that would surely entice every fashionista, the collection pays tribute to the feminine form... with a clear 1960's influence. Flirty, lightweight silhouettes, easy breezy maxi dresses, skirts and jumpsuits abound and define S/S 2012's Mango woman.
The spring collection which wen viral with Kate Moss posing for the lookbook and starring in a commercial directed by reknowned photographer Terry Richardson entitled Spy Games, debuted what Mango had to offer for the season.
The palette bounces and plays around hues of nude, apricot, black, yellow and the year's it-color, coral. Pastel and sorbet hues are also very evident alongside the radiant colors and rockstar metallics of the urban chic selection...all of which, of course, are shown in loose fitting shapes and clean lines and silhouettes.
The major winners, in my opinion, are the knit tops and sweaters, pleated maxis, tinted and tie dyed denims. But of course, in the case of MANGO, there is always more to love. Introducing a more casual chic line, Mango also boasts of ethnic and tribal elements with bright hues, bold and abstract prints, tie dye with a sportswear touch.
So what are you waiting for? Visit the MANGO store nearest you and be in trend this season!
