With just one look at the covetable bright blue reptile print jeans, we had to see what was up with Black Orchid Denim. As you may recall from their sultry Fall/Winter 2011 campaign, Black Orchid has a knack for raising the bar on sexy jeans. For Spring-Summer 2012, we notice a bit more of an eclectic mix of vintage wash looks and colorful prints (a girl likes to have options!), inspiring Boho style, Western, glam, rocker and some ethnic-tribal patterns.

Ethnic and tribal-inspired prints are at the forefront of what’s in right now. From Mayan and Incan to Aztec and Navajo (sometimes even a cool hybrid of all of them) there’s totally something for everyone. We know things can get a bit tricky when it comes to prints, so we’ve put together a couple of looks to give you some outfit direction. The key is to take one bold statement piece and style it with simple and updated basics like cropped tees and a good dose of denim for a bit of cool edge. Keep things fully on-trend by throwing in some western bits into the mix like a cool modern boot and accessories with an earthy bohemian flare.

A fashion holiday like Fashion’s Night Out brings just as much variety in style onto the streets as you might imagine. For denim-addicts like us, it was almost too much fun running around snapping the colored denim, cut-off shorts, and super-stylish pairings. Sequins, ethnic prints, pop-colors, and summer-to-fall transitional ideas are just some of the trends we spotted. Outside in the open or inside boutiques, we found a handful of outfits we know you’ll adore. Check them out below!
