New York Fashion Week: Spring 2012 Lookbook

I yearn for the day that Fashion Week in LA becomes as awesome as Fashion Week in New York. Though, let's be honest here, that day will probably never come. So instead, I make look book after look book on Style.com, documenting my favorite collections from the runway and try to figure out how I'm going to look half as good as those emaciated models next Spring, ::sigh::.

That being said, I pulled all my fave looks and trends for you guys to swoon over with me. A few of my thoughts at first glace at the runways:

-Yellow, blue, red and neutrals are key colors for Spring
-Nods to early 1990s fashion statements are clear (Think Alicia Silverstone circa Clueless)
-Long skirts/dresses
-Large floral prints will be a key focal point, and a worthy statement piece in your closet
-Ethereal undertones make a significant statement across many runways
-Pops of neon and feminine details amongst 1960s modern art-inspired pieces will be essential trends next season
