Work your flats day or night this SS12 season with bikinis, shorts, skirts, dresses, tunics and the oh-so-hot colored denim trend! Here’s some of our top picks for 2012:

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Love Embroidered Thong Sandal, $198: It’s no wonder they’re called “Love Embroidered.”The luscious coral, green, and hot pink make this price point worthwhile.

Rebecca Minkoff Bettina Flat Sandal, $125: It doesn’t get much bolder than this audacious neon yellow.

FPD Tip: Pair with a bright pedicure for a color-blocked feel, or keep your toes neutral in a pale matte pink or fluid beige to let the sandals shine on their own

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent: Ephemeral Ease for Spring 2012

by fashion pulse contributor

After previewing the SS12 lineup of Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, all I can think of is traveling. It’s that simple; the line allured me to a bohemian, distant land where maxi dresses, tunic blouses, and basic slips gracefully coexist and transition from an early stroll to an evening beach gathering around a fire pit.

The collection portrayed an ephemeral ease that can only be produced in such one-of-a-kind prints such as Ikat, Bow and Arrow, Peacock Floral, Powder Floral, Kaleidoscope, and Patchwork. Glorious color remains prominent for spring in shoes (ballet flats, cork platforms, and espadrilles), bags, and apparel alike. The palette of melon, chartreuse, hibiscus, teal, blush, black, and violet provides endless options to introduce new shades into your wardrobe.

I ‘m impressed with the convertible skirt (pictured above), which works as both a maxi dress and a maxi skirt. I also adore the mini dresses (summer knits and soft slips), great for a beach cover up or a night on the town. The collection left an impression in its effortless transitional capabilities, and with one piece, you have plenty of easy-to-wear chic options.
