Spring 2013 color report from Pantone has arrived

Pantone released the spring/summer 2013 color report today and it has given Fashionistas everywhere a sneak peek into the ten hottest hues for the upcoming spring 2013 season.

The fresh color palette is slightly softer than it was for spring 2012 and it appears that any shade of blue will be hot for 2013. After all, earlier this year Pantone declared that blue would be the new black for 2013; according to this chart, it will be!

Since Pantone’s predictions are based on New York designer preferences, it does appear that the soft pastels from Paris in 2012 have traveled to our side of the globe and mixed in with our bright hues from 2012. The softer colors are still cheery and bright; just not as neon as originally forecasted.

What do you think of the spring 2013 color palette? Do you have a favorite hue?

Laura Mercier has a new fragrance for the fall season which has been added to her line of body products this month; the new scent is warm “Ambre Vanille!” Ambre Vanille is perfect for the fall season as it combines warm woods, florals and sweet vanilla to create a warm and cozy fragrance expereience for the moderate to cool weather found in autumn. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier also happens to contain Fall’s ultimate “HipNote” of sandalwood. Love this!
Top notes: tangerine, coconut, almond

Middle notes: tiger orchid, milk flower, helitrope

Base notes: vanilla beans, brown sugar, sandalwood

Laura Mercier’s new fragrance Ambre Vanille is available at Sephora.com in a honey bath soap at $40, a bath scrub priced at $46 and a body cream priced at $55.
I tested out the Body Cream and it was A-MA-ZING! As is always the case with Laura Mercier’s body cream, the Ambre Vanille body cream is moisturing without leaving a greasy film and locks in your skin’s moisture. As someone who has sworn by Laura Mercie’s body creams for the past ten years, I am in love with this new scent! Ambre Vanille is a must try.
I rate Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille body cream five out of five stars!

Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille can be found online at Sephora.com and at Laura Mercier counters.
