You can download Management studio express from this link. Click on download and you would see

ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe this is what you need to download from SSMS if you have 64 bit system. If you have 32 bit scroll further down and you would see this ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe

Please also upgrade SSMS to SQL Server 2012 SP2 its advisable.With SSMS express patched to SP2 you could get feature almost same as normal SQL Server 2012 SSMS
