It’s been a little over 18 hours since Monif C. released her 2012 Summer Collection and I have to admit – I still have not narrowed down my choices.  One thing is for sure, I have a lot of wants.  In this collection we are going from sun to fun.  Never one to disappoint Monif has hit key fashion trends with this collection including NEON!

As we have witnessed recently, the high/low trend has descended down to the fashion world (yet again) – however, Monif has taken it to another level by adding the trend to her swimwear collection with the “St. Lucia” Beaded Chiffon Cover-Up offered in burnt orange and black.  This piece is super sexy and the added beaded detailing gives the curvy woman quite a bit of glam.  Ironically, what I appreciate the most about this cover-up, is the high/low concept.  For me the added material in the back gives me a little extra comfort in knowing my derriere will be covered while walking thru the lobby of a beach resort.

The “Whitley” has a full back zipper that screamed out my name when I first noticed it.  I love back detailing on clothes.

Here are a few of my favorite looks.  Notable mention to the Lipsticky skirt in black, it isn’t a part of the Make Out Collection but isn’t it GORGEOUS! All photos courtesty of DominoDollhouse.com. 

Finally, Designer & Stylist to the Stars John Eshaya’s collection is available to purchase at Torrid. There have been a buzz about this line since late December / early January. Its filled of his signature items; such as tee-shirts, jeans, and roomy sweaters.

It seems that Tocarra has become an Evans favorite… I’m excited she’s back in front of the camera.

My P.I.F. will tell you, I’m obsessed with waterfalls this season.

Evans never cease to amaze me with their look books and this Summer 2010′s offerings is HAWT!

Im sharing about four pages that stood out too me from the 52 page look book.

Some may say, I’m late as all outdoors but trust me — I’ve never been the one to rush into glory.  To be honest, my schedule has been so hectic, the only reason I’ve had the time to sit and write this post tonight is because I’m online shopping for my winter weekend.  *sowwy*

All I can say is OhEmGee!!!!  *insert squeal here*  If anyone in their right mind can honestly say they don’t appreciate the design techniques of Weiss & Lykke at CarmaKoma, they are absolutely BLIND!  Since my introduction to the dynamic Danish duo I have been in complete lust with the site.  Some may call it a girl crush I call it heaven.  After flipping thru the 2010 Spring Look Book, I’ve finally narrowed down my top favorites.

Crystal Renn covers Lane Bryant’s Holiday Lookbook.  I don’t know why but Lane Bryant always have goodies around this time a year its like they save all of the designs for the holiday season and this year they brought it up a notch.  The icon collection looks better then the initial pieces they launched back in September.  Seven7 also make an appearance in the book with edgier looks that we have never seen from Lane Bryant or Seven7.

Im feeling the ruffle leather blazer.
