Going blue for summer

Last winter “Pantone” declared “Honeysuckle” the “IT” color for 2011. “Honeysuckle,” which was a bold pink shade, has been spotted in retail establishments throughout the spring season in many shades of bright and bold pink including hot pink and candy pink. As the fashion world moves into their summer wardrobes, savvy Fashionistas are starting to bore of all the bold pink shades and move towards an easier shade to wear; cobalt blue.

Cobalt blue enjoyed the walk down many runways during the spring 2011 fashion shows. The color, which is easy to wear no matter what shade of skin or hair a Fashionista has, has become increasingly popular as spring moves into summer. Designers have favored the hue over pink and cobalt blue has begun to take over the racks and shelves at fashionable retailers throughout the globe.

Cobalt blue can be worn in many different forms from a tonal dress to a pair of suede Louboutin’s to a bold and blue handbag paired with an all-black or all-white ensemble.

Since color is a personal preference and can make a Fashionista look like a fashion-victim in matter of seconds, cobalt blue is not the only color to wear this summer. Always remember to pick a color you love and makes you feel beautiful. Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Interview with Kimora Lee Simmons

I had the honor of interviewing Kimora Lee Simmons last week regarding the fabulous work she is doing around the country in conjunction with Bounty in order to help keep American classrooms clean. Kimora Lee Simmons took the time to speak with me just minutes before going into North St. Francois High School in Bonne Terre, Missouri in order to unveil the classroom she designed. The designer classroom was part of the $50,000 make-over sweepstakes offered by Bounty through the “We Love Our School” campaign.

The “We Love Our School” campaign gave parents the chance to enter their children’s school into a sweepstakes for a grand prize designer make-over worth $50,000. The sweepstakes was part of the national “Make a Clean Difference” campaign by Bounty and Kimora Lee Simmons where schools can receive a free cleaning kit filled with cleaning supplies in order to help keep classrooms clean.

The average teacher spends $500-$600 per year, out of his/her own pocket for classroom cleaning supplies. The “Make A Clean Difference” campaign is raising awareness for the need for cleaning supplies in the classroom.

The “We Love Our School” campaign winner, St. Francois High School in Bonne Terre, Missouri enjoyed having their art room make over by Kimora Lee Simmons who not only designed the classroom to be organized and practical for learning, she added “fabulosity” to the learning environment.
