2012 Color Trends

  I often get asked " what's IN now? " in which I typically respond "whatever you love is what's IN." I have to admit that I'm more often a fan of Timeless as opposed to Trendy, but sometimes in this ever-changing world, you have to succumb to the fleeting impressions of poufs and foiled flock wallpaper.
 On my recent trip to Market in Las Vegas, I was surprised and delighted to see a new wave of bold color combinations emerging.  The new pumped-up version of rich jewel tones and funky pattern combinations seemed to breath new life into the season.  I don't know if it was the sunshine or the oxygen, but after returning from my trip, I felt refreshed and excited for this welcome addition to Taupe.
  With that said, I was equally as impressed and still not sick of the ever-present Taupe phenomena sweeping the nation.  The color once described as "cell wall gray" has taken over the country, blending, warming, and sometimes cooling almost any color scheme.  I have to admit, it has become my guilty pleasure.
  This season I'll be happy being Trendy!
