OnSugar blogger Beauty and the Budget put together some amazing Resort 2012 inspired outfits. Click through her favorite looks, then start shopping.

The Resort Collections are typically my favorite of the year. Designed with only the uber rich in mind, resort collections are full of practical yet whimsical fashions. Resort 2012 focused on colorblocking, varsity chic, exotic prints, and so much more that I decided to compile five of my favorite looks along with how you can copy the look for much less. Think of it as your own personal Resort Collection, for a fraction of the cost! And then you just might be able to indulge in your own fancy vacation!

J Brand's Best Sellers This Season? Brightly-Colored Jeans

>> After producing last Summer's runaway favorite — the Houlihan skinny cargo pant — J Brand has an even bigger hit on its hands this year: the colored jean. Over 100,000 pairs of the brand's brightly-hued skinny jeans have been sold since March, according to J Brand founder Jeff Rudes, already outpacing the Houlihan.

Rudes says he was feeling color earlier this year, but after he saw a fuchsia Jil Sander men's suit on display at Jeffrey in early February, he ordered his team to speed up production, Cathy Horyn reports. “Most people don’t get that we’re interpreting fashion through a jean, including our competitors,” Rudes explained.

Rudes is banking on the continued popularity of the super-brights, with a spread of neon jeans done in collaboration with known neon-afficionado Christopher Kane set to be introduced this October, retailing at $250.
