Guess what? It’s back and brighter than ever… NEON! Fall winter 2012 new color trend on the block. Accentuating winter apparel and accessories, ayesha accessories launches its NEON collection to bring elation in accessorizing.

Neckpieces and earrings in shocking pink, yellow and orange will give a perfect balance of fun and bright attitude without overwhelming outfit as a whole.To boost the energy in your wardrobe ayesha has luminescent shoe laces in pink,yellow,green,orange  and purple.

A little advise, don’t cover yourself from head to toe in neon, blinding everyone who crosses your path. It is best to choose one or two pieces of your outfit to provide that desired neon pop. You must fully commit to neon, because it is daring, loud and will not escape the attention of anyone.
