Color Report-- Spring 2011

One of my favorite parts of Fashion Week is getting to see Pantone's Color Report for the upcoming season. It is always refreshing and inspirational to see new color combos-- spring is pretty spectacular...

How much fun is that? Fresh and funky--and at the same time reminiscent of a set of Crayola markers I used to own {who are we kidding, I still have them...}

Same thing right? I'm excited to see these colors worked into collections on the runway--looks like it's going to be a playful spring! 

PS- I can't wait to tell people that "Regatta" is my new favorite color...

things to love

fall fashion week is in full swing- and as usual, i'm a little depressed about it. don't get me wrong, i love seeing the new styles, colors and ideas, i love the excitement--but it is such a buzz kill to realize what we have to live though before spring. oh, dark-depressing-winter. SO i am focusing on now. fall. things that are exciting me about THIS season...


from Panton's fall color report i'm loving Purple Heart and Rapture Rose. especially paired with grey and bright blue (which were spring 09 colors...so what? i can live in the past a little, right?) also loving menswear inspired looks paired with girly-flirty accessories. but i think, above all, i'm loving purple.
