The Accessorize Spring/Summer 2012 line is free-spirited and fun-loving, and these exact merrymaking sentiments are reflected in the brand’s latest [Polaroid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-life) lookbook. The behind-the-scenes images feature models Malene Knudsen and Giedre Dukauskaite on what appears to be a whimsical vacation, toting [side bags, suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendis-summer-2025-campaign) and retro cameras.

True to the label’s panache for adornments, the models are found clad in bangles, bobbles and all types of exaggerated beads. The draped apparel choices are fitting with the lively lookbook, as well as the [brightly patterned two-piece bikinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop) and floral sandals. The vacation theme is made most apparent by way of a heart-shaped, cut-out map, provoking thoughts of epic road trips and sightseeing. The girls look ready for the unknown about to come their way, and their enthusiasm is downright infectious.
