Pantone's Color of the Year

Every year, Pantone announces a color to be the "Pantone Color of the Year" and for 2012, the color is
"Tangerine Tango" A color with the ability to charge and energize us to keep moving forward through these tough times. Here's a little excerpt from the Pantone color article:

"Over the past several years, orange has grown in popularity and acceptance among designers and consumers alike. A provocative attention-getter, Tangerine Tango is especially appealing in men’s and women’s fashion. Fashion designers featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Spring 2012, including Tommy Hilfiger, Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Steffe by Shaun Kearney, Elie Tahari and Adrienne Vittadini, are incorporating this attractive orange into their spring collections. A fun, lively take on a traditional autumnal hue, Tangerine Tango will surely carry through to fall fashion as well."

So in honor of this, I had to do a little post with some fun tangerine colors- to get you charged for the day and the rest of the week!

Happy Tuesday friends!

Patterns, People, and a Sweet Tumblr.

I'm really digging this Tumblr site you can categorize by color.

I'm also liking the color orange in these patterns and on these people.

All found on that same Tumblr. Cool beans.

Beach Day Fun Times

With the weather being as beautiful as it is today, I'm dying to go to the beach!
Since I can't really be doing that today, I decided instead to dream about what I would
wear if I were to go to the beach today!

Here's my list of must-wears when I head to the sea shore:

Gotta have some shades to protect those sensitive pupils.

A light tank top to throw over your suit is a necessity in my opinion.

Some shorts for when you need to leave the sand for some ice cream. Make mine
teal and polka dot please.

Of course an orange bikini for that salty ocean water!

Bring it all together with by keeping a consistant color and you're set.
Don't forget the sunblock!
