Empowerment thru Colour



 
As you know, I love to explore the colour trends from season to season, and for Spring 2019 the Pantone Institute has delivered
 
"empowering colors that provide confidence and spirit; colors that are uplifting; joyful hues that lend themselves to playful expressionism". pantone.com/color-intelligence
Fiesta, Jester Red, Tumeric and Living Coral (which is also the colour of the year) are bold choices for hot weather - sprinkle them liberally throughout your wardrobe.

Wear them from top to bottom, or mix with white or eclipse navy.  Too much for you? Definitely use them to accessorize, from jewellery to purses or shoes,  absorb the power of these colours, which embody energy, passion, excitement and a rich elegance, reflect this confidence daily.

Not to forget - those shoes! 




Don't forget to add them to your dining experience. From salsa and sangria, to a cool fruit salad, summer is the season to linger over food with great friends.

Bold serving pieces will call to family and guests ... imagine relaxing over good food, great friends and something cool to drink on a summer evening, it doesn't get any better.



If you crave pinks, there is the bold Pink Peacock or soft Sweet Lilac, and while there are beautiful olive greens in the lighter Pepper Stem and deeper Terrarium Moss, my favorite is Mango Mojito :)  not surprisingly this golden yellow "feeds our craving for pleasant comforts" and I love it on it's own or paired with denim for a casual look, dressed up with Eclipse for summer or charcoal grey for fall.


There are always carefully crafted neutrals to balance your life in, this season look for Soybean, Sweet Corn, midnight Eclipse and Brown Granite.  These are investment pieces and will carry you into the fall season, layered with sweaters, boots and scarves.
