I love pink, although let's clarify - pastel not neon. Funnily enough I don't even wear the colour that often (although I certainly wouldn't say no to that Burberry Prorsum trench). I actually think the typically feminine shade looks a lot better on my boyfriend. Still, with it being springtime and the blossoms blooming in my front yard I thought this delightfully pretty hue deserved a shout out.

p.s. Remember how totally fabulous Mean Girls was. What happened to you Lindsay?

got the blues

Pantone, a company billed as the "global colour authority", has just announced that Turquoise will be the it colour for 2010. Now lets ignore for a moment that there is a legitimate corporation that decides what colours will be in for any given season (can I have a job please?) and take a moment to consider next year's hottest hue. I adore turquoise jewelery but have never worn that much of the colour in my wardrobe - unless I'm vacationing in the Mediterranean, then it seems only appropriate to wear it everyday (paired with white of course). But a quick breeze around the here turned up some lovely images of blue-hued rooms and outfits that have me rethinking my neutral/pastel dominated wardrobe. Perhaps come the summer time (because I can't imagine this shade of blue/green looking good without a tan) I'll audition a couple of turquoise pieces.

Anyways, I'm not really sure how much Pantone's latest proclamation matters, apparently 2009's colour of the year was Mimosa - who knew? But regardless, I have one particular turquoise obsessed friend that will simply love the new-found fame her favourite hue is receiving.
