Look closely at a light blue scarf paired with a mint green jacket. It’s called being different and doing the unexpected. Add to that an orange-cased cell phone and orange crocs? and you’re in living color!

In Living Color
Friday, February 27th, 2009Move Over Crayola, Now THIS Is Color
Monday, February 9th, 2009
If you really want to know what’s happening for Spring, just open your box of Crayola crayons and pour them out on the floor. You’re now looking at Spring 2009. Combinations of bright against bright; color blocking; and, patterns galore. You can’t stay in the doldrums too long when your closet is screaming, “pick me! pick me!” Check out this site.
Animal Magnetism
Monday, February 9th, 2009
Cool bag! Notice the animal print theme with the hip, ethnic inspired handpainted craftsmanship. Right on trend.
Going Green
Monday, February 9th, 2009
Quite a number of trend elements are captured in this “look.” The bohemian influence is strong with the fringed neckline and tattered, leaf-edged hem. The textured, crinkled fabric and the combination of greens seem inspired by nature and the increased conversation of the greening of America.
Spring Awareness
Monday, February 9th, 2009
They’re showing that short jackets over long tee’s and tank tops are back for Spring 2009. But, my favorite addition to this look is the extra long striped scarf sometimes wrapped tight around the neck and draping to the mid-thigh; sometimes just draped casually for affect. (Notice the zipper treatment on both the sleeves and body of the jacket)
A Good Way to Gauge The Competition

Once it reaches full distribution, the Italian eyewear giant projects annual sales of $30 million for the Tony Burch line.
“I feel people are drawn to accessories now in general, and it’s a category we want to continue to evolve and develop,” Burch said. “With what’s going on in the economy, it’s something new and exciting and it’s opening at a specific price point that will be accessible. Plus eyewear is an easy way to update a look.””
