Trendnotes S12: Ready for Water

Spring 2012 has been set against a marine-life backdrop, complete with an ultramodern water-world feel. Whether you're set to swim in these high-styled waves or not, be prepared to see lots of water-ready looks from shades of coral and aqua blue hues to the material that we all know looks just as cute all dressed for dinner as it does sunning in the sand- Jelly! We've got styles like 'Harmonic Bow' and 'Harmonic Flower' from Melissa, as well as the wedge sandal made entirely of eco-friendly jelly, 'Patchuli.' Need something a bit more fancy? Try on Valentino's 'Couture Jelly,' with an oversized asymmetrical bow. With many stylish options that work with fashion's fantasy of mermaids and underwater castles, go overboard this season.
