Spring 2011

It's snowing here in beautiful Cleveland, Oh and what better to do than to think about Spring! Pantone recently announced it's color of the year for 2011 - honeysuckle. A rich vibrant shade of pink that is both eye-catching and alluring creating a sense of confidence while evoking boldness. We love it! Nothing says warm like honeysuckle, even the name screams summer. Now how would you wear this bold color?

Our first thought is makeup - a rich pink blush or lipstick would be oh so fresh for Spring. According to the Pantone site in fashion "Honeysuckle always works with the standard basics of black, navy, charcoal or light to mid gray". We love the mix of honeysuckle with silver gray or the russet brown. Think lightweight cardigan in honeysuckle with a pair of pants in the russet brown. Bright, bold and uplifting.

Too much color for you? Our favorite way to add a trend to our closet (and infuse a bit of color) is with accessories. So how about a scarf in honeysuckle or maybe even a handbag! Paired with jeans and a neutral top you can't go wrong. Affordable fashion!
