Trend Colour for 2011

Trends are fun to watch, and when you love the current trend, it certainly makes shopping easier. The colours we love change as we grow, often reflecting our emotions, and if that is true - it must also be true that great colour choices will help us feel fabulous.

Pantone announced the colour of 2011 as honeysuckle, and said it is a colour that "elevates our psyche ... instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life."

Shades of honeysuckle will be found in home decor, fashion and accessories this summer (assembled by ellenkennon.com) and of course, in swimwear too.  This festive shade of reddish-pink pops against colors like navy, brown, and dark gray - not black -  and also compliments green, orange and yellow.

... and don't worry ... while turquoise and other blue shades are still very popular, especially in swimwear, next season's other favorites will keep you smiling.
