Color My World

>

The biggest trend on the Spring/Summer 2011 runways was color.  Not just a little color but bright, bold, beautiful hues that will shake up your world.  After this brutal winter, I can't think of anything I want to wear more than cheerful colors.  There are many interior designers who embrace color in their work like Jamie Drake (above), Kelly Wearstler and Miles Redd but I wonder if others will start to see the light.  Enjoy!

March Madness

>

The March wind roars

Like a lion in the sky,

And makes us shiver

As he passes by.

When winds are soft,

And the days are warm and clear,

Just like a gentle lamb,

Then spring is here.

Dreaming of Spring

>

I woke up to a temperature of 6 degrees this morning. That's -14 to those of you on the Celsius scale.  I am so tired of pulling on tights and boots and twelve layers everyday.  In fact, I think I'd like to burn all my winter clothes.  Spring is still two months away and I'm already dreaming about what I'll be wearing. I love all these full skirts, fun dresses, bright colors, and most of all, the bare legs.  I can guarantee I'll be twirling too when the warm weather finally arrives!
