Pop Culture

Recently celebs have been taking a cue from the Spring Collections and sporting some much needed color around town. It is a nice change from the grey and black I have been showcasing at work for the past two months. I guess it is easier to wear bright colors when you are in the California sun. Bubblegum, strawberry and tangerine seem to be the most popular shades of pop color and why not, they're so cheerful!

NY Fashion Week Spring 2010: Part Deux

Every fashion week has a color story to tell and for spring that story is usually blue but this year, we are seeing neutrals like tan, grey, lilac and light pink accented with brights. While some designers brightened their looks with neon yellow, there seemed to be a more common story in shades of pink and orange. The strawberries and tangerines are not only fun but universally flattering. Retailers will definitely be incorporating this color scheme into their collection next year. I know I can't wait!

Neutrals at Lutz & Patmos, Rachel Comey, Julian Louie, Costello Tagliapietra. I have to say that I DIE for a neutral palette. I have yet to understand why since they should be boring and I look deathly in them. J.Crew is offering up this tasty spectrum right now and as much as I try to resist, I just cannot. Note to self: wear black, white or brown as a base (as a winter, these are colors I should be wearing)
