It can be really hard to achieve a look that's both laid-back and stylish, but the Quiksilver Spring 2012 line delivers just that. Co-designed by San Fransisco-based Serena Mitnik-Miller, the co-owner of 'General Store' at Ocean Beach, the California-inspired spring collection is perfect for those fashion-savvy beach bums who don't want to sacrifice style in the pursuit of complete comfort.
The Quiksilver Spring 2012 line offers easy-to-mix basics like casual summertime cotton frocks, simple printed tees, skinny jeans and relaxed zip-up hoodies. Some of the pieces feature Mitnik-Miller's signature watercolor prints of waves and bubbles, describes Refinery29. Adding a bit more polish to the collection is a pretty floral-print cut-out swimsuit, an elegant 3/4-sleeve crochet dress and a simple white blazer.
