If you crave color, you'll love the LOFT Summer 2012 lookbook. It's all about eye-catching hues, from cool to warm to white hot. Mix in some pretty prints that include animal, floral and stripes, and you've got a collection that'll leave you saying, "Bring on the sun!" My favorite looks include a leopard print pant paired with a stripe top (neutral in color, but bold on pattern); lavender peasant blouse with coral shorts; and a chambray-blue striped blazer with aqua shorts. Individual pieces I love include cuffed shorts in chic-but-impractical white eyelet and utility blouses in chartreuse and hot pink.

Look for these pieces at loft.com and in LOFT stores now. Which looks do you find inspiring?
