A Spring Fling…Color Trends for 2009

With Mercedes Benz Fashion Week less than two weeks away, there is no time like the present to bring in the new, and makeover the old! The purples, oranges, pinks and lime green hues so prevalent this past winter and early spring will make their way into dusty lilacs, fuchsias, and calming french blues. The traditional soft yellows, greens, and pinks of spring will get a face-lift in the form of vibrant lemons, lucite, grass greens, pale salmon and rose hues. Basic black will make even stronger statements in your wardrobe this spring by adding black and white combinations and it would appear that gold has, in fact, become the new silver.

“So how is a girl to incorporate this new palette into her wardrobe without needing a storage unit just to house her new found couture? The answer is simple: buy a few well-made staples (or wear those you already have), and then accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! I personally rotate a couple of accessories from Avelle.com every couple of weeks. This way I get to indulge in my guilty pleasures.”
