Fashion colors for Fall 2008

The Pantone report of fashion color trends for the fall 2008 season is out, and we are absolutely excited to see the return of several lovely blue based colors. In fact, pantone rates Blue Iris as a top choice among designers for this season. You can download the complete report free of charge at Pantone's website: Pantone's Fashion report for Fall 2008 For the last few seasons we have been so disappointed to see the fashion industry move to a mostly yellow based color palette, which we think leaves out a lot of women whose skin tone has the blue undercast, and just absolutely washes out terribly when wearing most yellows, greens, and browns. So we applaud Pantone's: "A Season of Change" report.

Oscar Jewelry...a relic of the past?

So how many of you watched the Oscars last night? We saw some great dresses, but not much in the way of knock-em dead jewelry. And what's with the unstyled hair? While a few of the stars looked very well put together, some others looked like they spent about five minutes getting ready! We give top jewelry honors to Julie Christie's amazing necklace, with Laura Linney's necklace a close second. And we have to say that Miley Cyrus looked fab in her great earrings. Best dress? We vote for Helen Mirren's sophisticated red number. Ciao for now!
