Okay so I bet you are all wondering what the latest fashions, makeup and hair trends are going to be this year. I certainly am!
These were the most well known trends of 2011 :
CLOTHES
The Kimono
Here you see Miley Cyrus pulling off a gorgeous Kimono style cardigan. I saw quite a lot of celebrities wearing these last year and I even thought of getting one myself but never did. The style comes from the traditional Japanese Kimono which is worn mostly during special events. However they are worn mostly for casual use now.

Cargo Pants
Cargo pants became a trend around May 2011. The first celebrities spotted wearing these were Cheryl Cole and Kim Kardashian. The Cargo style came from the original Cargo Pants which are used as a loose fitting trouser which is mostly worn when doing outdoor activity. However designers created a Cargo Pant which is fashionable for both men and women. The skinny style allows them to be fashionable and the large pockets keeps the Cargo sporty style.

HAIR
Ombreing
Ombreing is where you dip dye the ends of your hair a lighter shade than your own colour. I saw many celebrities doing this and many of my friends too and I have to say I wasn’t a big fan of it. To me it looked like you had dyed your hair a few years ago, let it grow out and then the dye’s just left on the ends.
The Fringe
Ah the Fringe. While it looks nice on some , in my personal opinion I find that if you aren’t careful it can make you look rather childish. I think my view of this comes from when I was very young. Pretty much every child had a fringe and when I see an adult with a fringe I just instantly think back to the greasy, stuck to the forehead fringes that we used to have! Many Celebrities such as Leona Lewis and Reese Witherspoon did however, pull it off.
MAKEUP
Red Lips
The red lips have never been out of fashion. You can never go wrong with a red lip in my opinion. But, the only way you can pull it off is by making sure you haven’t left half of it on your teeth!! Red lips added the finishing touch to the Sophisticated look in 2011.
Smokey Eyes
Like the red lips ,smokey eyes never fail to impress me. They look great, they go with pretty much every outfit and hairstyle, and the colour choice is endless.
MY PREDICTIONS FOR 2012
Okay so now for my Predictions for this years trends!
Aztec Print
Now the reason for me thinking that Aztec is the next big pattern is because I’ve been watching the newest fashion coming into online stores and local shops and i have started seeing this pattern slowly appear. If you don’t know what Aztec print is heres a pic.
The best way I can describe it is a tribal pattern.
Short Hair
Yes…short hair. Most girls who have long hair would dread cutting their long locks off. I myself had hair past my shoulders in January 2011 and decided that it was time for a dramatic change and chop my long hair into a pixie cut. Why? Because long hair was boring me and everyone had long hair at the time and I wanted to look different. But yes , short hair, I think it is back in because more and more celebrities such as Kiera Knightly and Emma Watson are taking a stand and cutting their long hair and stepping outside of the crowd and being different! Good for them!
Orange and Yellow eyeshadow
As strange as it sounds I genuinely think that these two colours will be very popular this year. The colours remind me of a sunset and would go down a storm in the summer in my opinion. The reason why I think that these will be popular is because last year was the dark smokey eye trend …. so this year I think it’ll be all about bold and bright colours.
So these are my predictions! Leave me a comment telling me what you think will be the trends or what you would like to see become a 2012 trend.
