Pantone Colors of Spring 2015: Strawberry Ice

Sweatshirt // Pumps // Blush // Sunglasses // Skirt // Lipgloss // Heels // Backpack // Clutch

So I’m sure by now you’ve heard that marsala is the color of 2015, but if you feel like burning all your dark and gloomy shades of clothing right now, then I think you’ll appreciate Pantone’s color report for spring.  The roundup features an eclectic mix of sixteen shades, which is described as minimalistic, understated and natural.  It’s a breath of fresh air, which is why I’m rounding up some of my favorite pieces in my favorite hues.

Starting with the prettiest of the picks: Strawberry Ice (their names, not mine).  You know that I’ve always been a sucker for bold and bright, but I’m actually loving this chilled out shade of pink.  Of course, to keep things from looking a little too bubblegum, choose pieces with a little more edge (like this backpack or this graphic sweater) or something more minimalistic (like this clutch or these strappy heels).

Pantone Colors of Spring 2015:  Toasted Almond

Coat // Tote Bag // Heels // Watch // Nail Polish // Sweater // Clutch // Sneakers // Sunglasses

If things still feel a little too Pretty Pretty Princess for you, you’ll probably enjoy Toasted Almond a little better.   It’s warm, comforting and has a hint of a summer glow that brings balance to the rest of the lineup.  I need these sneakers and this tote bag in my life.

Pantone Colors of Spring 2015:  Dusk Blue

Coat // Sunglasses // Lace Top // Tote // Sneakers // Handbag // Necklace // Nail Polish // Heels

Finally, there’s Dusk Blue.  It’s calm, quiet and the perfect way to start injecting a little bit of spring into your winter wardrobe right now (new winter coat, anyone?).  From strappy heels to lace up sneakers, if you’re still unconvinced that this is one cool shade, let this bag speak for itself.

That’s all I have for now, but stay tuned, because there are still 12 other shades to share!  In the meantime, I want to know what’s your favorite color for spring?  Leave a message in the comments below and have a wonderful weekend!

Pantone 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

By now, I’m sure you’ve already heard all the hubbub surrounding Pantone’s 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid.  Pantone is the “global authority” on color — a gig that was probably made up by someone just because they could.  Either way, I’m digging the rich shade of purple/fuschia/pink and I plan to add more of it into my wardrobe come spring.  What do you think of the purple proclamation?

The blogger collaboration is finally back!  I’m SO thrilled to be teaming up with Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling to show you four different ways to wear spring trends.  Today, we’re kicking it off with how to mix neon and pastels!

With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, neon will be in heavy rotation.  Don’t worry, the ultra-saturated hues are much more wearable than you think.  You can pair neons with neutrals to play it safe or pile neons on neons to go all out.  But if you’re looking to shake things up, try mixing neons and pastels for a look that’s both colorful and balanced.

I paired chartreuse with mint and quite possibly discovered my new favorite color combo of the season!  Check out how Amanda, Lynzy and Caitlin mixed neon and pastels and let me know what you think of the trend!
