Spring 2012 Trend: Lace


For Spring 2012, lace is popping up everywhere. Kate Middleton looked lovely on her birthday in a long black lace v-neck and Selena Gomez rocked a lace mini at the MTV EMA's recently. Lace isn't only for evening though. Add a hint of lace to your daytime wardrobe with an understated blouse, or with a pop on booties. Love these looks from Oscar de la Renta's spring 2012 line, as well as other looks from Jason Wu, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and more.
