Using color in fashion trends

Do you follow the fashion trends? Every season designers introduce new color schemes for use in fashion, home decor and more.
Pantone, a leading authority on color offers all sorts of ways to express color.
And since summer is already upon us, I thought I'd show Pantone's fall 2012 color collection.
The colors include: (from top to bottom; left to right)
french roast ***************** Bright Chartreuse
honey gold ***************** Olympian blue
pink flambe' ***************** titanium
tangerine tango **************** rhapsody
Ultramarine Green ************** rose smoke


Patone's color of the year is "Tangerine Tango". I like this color. It seems to be a strong color for me. Here's a top from NorthStyle.com featuring this color.

Sephora is also offering a number of cosmetic products developed with Patone

A collection of color offered at Sehpora.

I also found this color forecast chart from Fire Mountain Gems. You can view it here.

So, do you follow the fashion trends with color? Do you create designs with the color trends in mind? Or do you follow your own path?

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

Well! I'm feeling a little happy today! I made some earrings for the gallery and took them there. I have to admit; I almost don't feel like my current work is not "good enough" to be in this shop. What beautiful paintings, artisan made pottery, wall hangings, glass! You can find it here: http://www.paintedfishgallery.com Then I went and picked up my check from working last week.
