Black and white for spring 2013

 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged black and white / classic style / runway trends / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Wearing black and white together is a traditional spring trend. Although this trend is common, for spring 2013 it takes on a different look when combined with the current, up-and-coming mod trend.

The mod trend is huge; and something we will discuss next week (teaser!). With black and white being timeless yet perfectly on-trend for spring 2013, this color combo not only plays well with the mod trend’s bold patterns, it plays well with everything! Love that!

Black and white can be found in spring 2013’s popular prints including florals, geometric, ikat, mod, stripes, plaid, checkerboard and more. Black and white can also be found together through color blocking and piping. Everything imaginable is being found in black and white including apparel, shoes, handbags and even jewelry! Fabulous!

Black and white is an easy trend to wear since many of us have this color combination in our closets! If not, this is a great trend to shop for this season since black and white together is a classic combination; and will still be relevant for fall 2013.

We found a few fabulous items around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. To shop this trend, please click on the photos in the widget. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Blue and green for spring 2013

 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged blue / green / runway trends / spring 2013 / street style trends by

With Emerald green being the color of the year, and shades of blue being hot for the spring season, it is no wonder that one of the popular color combinations for the upcoming warm weather season is the combination of blue and green.

Shades of blue and green are hot for the spring 2013 season. These two colors combined create a fresh color combination which is easy to wear and will definitely turn heads. This oceanic color combination is easy to pull off; especially since blue and green play so well together! Love this!

To rock the blue and green trend, look for solid colors which look nice together such as emerald green skinny jeans paired with a navy or cobalt top. You can also add colorful jewelry, scarves, shoes and handbags! It does not matter how many shades of blue and green you wear at one time, the colors blend easily and appear soft; meaning you would not want to do this with brighter shades such as orange and yellow.

We put together a few blue and green looks to help inspire an oceanic idea from your closet. Hope you love it! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Fall 2013 color report

 in Color Trends / Trends  tagged fall 2013 / new york fashion week / pantone / runway trends / winter 2014 by

Pantone has released the fall 2013/winter 2014 color report! With New York Fashion Week autumn/winter 2013/2014 starting today, the new fall color palette is being revealed on the runway. Pantone has put together a fabulous report which showcases the top ten colors for fall 2013.

In fall 2012 we enjoyed a colorful palette which was vibrant and flowed easily from the cheery colors we enjoyed in spring 2012. For fall 2013, the color palette is more somber and offers a more traditional look at colors. Instead of bright hues, the colors are darker and more on the neutral side. The color of 2013, Emerald green is still important and as are blue, purple and pink; but the colors are more like “splashes” which liven up darker ensembles and overall looks.
