Planning your spring wardrobe already? We hear you. Click through the slideshow above and read below for some great collections to look forward to this Spring 2012 season!

House of Harlow, WinterKate

Nicole Richie’s distinct look came from being constantly surrounded by entertainers, costumes, designers, and other inspirations. Costume dressing is most important to the House of Harlow jewelry and Winter Kate apparel collection. Half bohemian goddess, half tribal queen equals one fully covetable collection.

M. Patmos

Marcia Patmos continues to be inspired by art, architecture, and design. Her goal is to make easy, understated clothing that incorporates strength, ease, and grace. Easy summer cardigans and tees are paired with light, breezy shorts ideal for the casual woman.

Leroy & Perry

Two adventurous friends drew on their love of fashion to create this eco-friendly  line. Think easy, nonchalant and seasonless with casual separates. You’ll make the most adorable fisherwoman with their nautical striped pieces!

Lauren Moffatt

A love for all things vintage began Lauren Moffat’s design career. Already named a designer to watch by both WWD and Vogue, Moffat’s love for art and color shows in Spring 2012′s lovable swimwear, airy blouses, and adorable printed dresses.

Handbags

JCrew (pictured above) absolutely nailed it with their ladylike collection of handbags for spring 2012. Blue, orange, green, yellow…did we mention leopard?! Perfectly practical, but still extremely fashion forward.

Clutches

I simply can’t pick a favorite, so let’s call it a tie. Proenza Schouler (at top) mixed textures to create tweed clutches with chunky chain detail straps, while Chloe mixed accessories to make what looks to be a bracelet-bag combo. Gotta have it!

Shoes

Celine really wowed with their take on the platform heel/pump for the upcoming season. Basic black or the marriage of black and red, simplicity says it all. Even more incredible, with your ankle strapped in, these shoes look totally wearable – dare I even say comfortable?

Sunglasses

Frameless sunglasses at Fendi felt interestingly academic. Deviating away from the line’s normal sexuality, the glasses definitely added to the serious, studious woman, a style rather novel for Fendi.

Jewelry

Bracelets: The stacked multi-colored bangles at Carolina Hererra proved that wrists should not be left naked. The more, the merrier come Spring 2012.

Necklaces: Donna Karan went wild with her tribal-inspired neckpieces strung with wood and plastic. Meanwhile, Givenchy’s statement shark-tooth pendants give “sharp” a double meaning.

Fashion Week SS12 was an accessory-studded event; which piece is your favorite?

“Whip” by Devi Kroell

Whip embodies a modern safari look, with a fierce snakeskin texture in a soft ivory tone. Known for her tendency towards exotic skins, Kroell was inspired by her own travels abroad to create these statement sunglasses.

“Infinity” by Kara Ross

Infinity is both bold and elegant, exuding sophistication from every angle. As a luxury accessory designer, Ross worked to create a frame that would effortlessly compliment a variety of faces while remaining true to her design aesthetic.

“Neo” by Matt Murphy

Neo was inspired by the chic black body of a race car. With its sleek exterior and smooth curves, Murphy succeeded in creating a pair of sunglasses with an attitude all of its own.

Trendy: mix of material

We’ve all heard that it’s okay to pile denim on denim this summer, so why can’t your sunglasses join the party? Chanel, for example, mixed denim with metal this year, making its frames truly one of a kind.

Trendy: transparent frames

Black bug-sized shades may be a Hollywood classic, but stars and fashionistas alike might be turning to colorful, lucid frames for summer this year. D&G (above) offers some colorful options with thick frames for both opticals and sunglasses, while Vogue (below) – not the magazine but an eyewear brand known for its affordability and stylishness – provides multi-colored, transparent frames set to outmatch the ubiquitous floral dresses.

Trendy: prints and patterns

Frames aren’t exactly the size of a shirt, but eyewear designers still manage to make sure your shades fit your individual style. Take Ray-Ban (top) for example; the iconic eyewear brand is putting multi-colored stripes, retro cartoons, button pin prints, and even the New York subway map on their classic wayfarers. Talk about statement accessories. If you’re looking for elegance rather than prints, consider Miu Miu (below), whose swallow-printed eyeglasses would make any keen-eyed passer-by drop their jaws in envy.

Hi-tech: polarized sunglasses

Sometimes sunglasses are so fashionable that we forget how good they can be for our eyes. The technology that is  Polarized lenses block out more UV rays than ordinary sunglasses, have an anti-reflective coating and improve your color perception. So if you want to “see what others don’t” (as the slogan says) and have an excuse to wear sunglasses all year round, polarized shades – offered by Ray-ban and many other eyewear brands – are a good investment.

Newly arrived: Tory Burch

We’ve all seen the Tory Burch logo on flats, wallets, purses and more. Now it can be on your glasses too. Recently launched in 2009, Tory Burch’s eyewear line includes its iconic “T” logo at the hinge. From two-toned styles to abstract patterns to aviators, the new collection offers many chic choices for the bespectacled fashionista.

Handmade and vintage

Things always feel different when they are perfected by the hand and not churned out by a robotic assembly line. If you’re nodding in agreeement, Persol is just right for you: handmade in England, the 90-year-old Italian brand is releasing a vintage collection inspired by the legendary film La Dolce Vita. Subtly elegant and infused with a touch of old-school glamour, Persol brings the golden age of Hollywood into the present.
