Spring Color Forecast 2012

Spring is almost here WOOHOO!  Are YOU ready?  I love the colors of SPRING...it's time to put away all those solid, dark colors and launch yourself into some bright corals, cherry pinks, bold turquoise, soothing teal, lively greens, yummy butterscotch, romantic lavender and more!  (SEE PANTONE'S COLOR FORECAST BELOW).  Accents of black, grey and chocolate brown are fine for a little pop here and there but focus on the flowers!  Your wardrobe should contain a collection of ready-to-wear Spring items that you feel confident and comfortable in.   Separates are always a great solution in order to get the most bang for your $buck$ - make smart purchases that create a timeless wardrobe - go for QUALITY not quantity. Work with a Stylist (privately, or, at the department store) if you need help - fashion is an investment.  WHAT YOU NEED:  A selection of cute tops and blouses with varying sleeve lengths; a few layering type of sweaters or shrugs; several skirts; some classic dress pants; a fun, flirty dress (or two); and some casual pants & shorts.  And don't forget about shoes - make sure you have varying heel heights and a couple of cute pairs of wedges and flats.  If you're on a tight budget, shop on-line for shoes in neutral colors that go with everything.  Zappos.com has a fantastic selection as well as DSW!  In addition to clothing, it's important to have some pretty costume jewelry to accessorize each outfit with.  A few bangles or beaded bracelets; some statement earrings; some chunky bold necklaces paired with longer silver or gold chain necklaces and you're good!  Put away all the heavy vintage stuff for now.  These are classic, timeless pieces that are appropriate in the Fall and Winter months but it's time to lighten it up!  In the coming weeks, Star Candy Designs will be releasing it's Spring Jewelry Collection.  I'm very excited to show you what I've been working on so stay tuned jewelry lovers! 





 WOMWEAR COLORS


Provocative Tangerine Tango, an enticing juicy orange, is a vivacious and appealing refresher to enliven anyone's outlook this spring.


Providing a jolt of energy, Solar Power radiates warmth and cheer.


Fanciful Bellflower, a distinct ornamental purple, exudes uniqueness and creativity. 




Scintillating and sexy, 
Cabaret is a sensual and intense rosy-red - an excellent choice for summer clothing and cosmetics.






Sodalite Blue
, a classic maritime hue, brings order and calmness to mind. Like an anchor to a ship, this dependable shade works with every color in the palette.




Cockatoo, a tactile blue-green, is sure to make your spirits soar. This unusual hue adds a whimsical touch to the palette and will make a statement this spring.



Margarita, a piquant yellow-green, lifts spirits with its refreshing and stimulating glow. Reminiscent of a blossoming garden on an early spring morning, fragrant 



Sweet Lilac evokes the fresh scents of summer. This delicate pinkish lilac adds a touch of romance to any wardrobe.
Natural, versatile neutrals add practicality to this season's brights. 


Driftwood, an adaptable blend of beige and gray with a slightly weathered feel, and 


Starfish, a perfect warm summer neutral, complement all colors featured in this season's top 10.


For an ultra-bold look this spring, try mixingBellflower with Tangerine Tango and Cabaret

Combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Cockatoo for a subtle alternative, or Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Driftwood for a more practical variation. Solar Power is best juxtaposed with Sodalite Blue, and for a safer bet, add a natural neutral like Starfish to the mix.
