SHADES OF BLUE

I want to be cool like Cara Delevingne. I can totally appreciate the black-and-white badness of so many of the Instagram feeds I follow. But if I want to stay true to myself, I cannot wear black and white all the time. I just can't. I don't care how fashion-y you are - it's just super depressing. So as I do with almost all things in life, I go to Beyoncé for guidance. She just posted a teaser campaign for her new Ivy Park line and while it's of course almost all b&w, I spy a little bit of blue in there. An ode to Blue Ivy maybe? But still...if Queen Bey says blue is cool, then I feel safe in saying that even if you only buy black, even if you like to go full-blown grayscale, even if you just can't with colour, blue is the new black. From soft serenity to deep blue denim, check out all the super pretty blues flooding into stores now. Need that ruffle romper. Freaking over those fringed pumps. Coveting those cute Kismet dresses. How about you? Are you feeling blue, too?

As a fashion addict, I'm always curious to see Pantone's yearly colour reveal. Is it going to be bright? Is it going to be pretty? And will it really even matter? I mean let's face it - last year's colour announcement was a total downer.  Marsala? Hmm. I don't know about you, but I don't like watered-down wine in any context.   For 2016, Pantone took note and hit us with not one but two top picks for its shades of the year. The pretty in pink Rose Quartzand tranquil blue Serenity feel totally right right now. I mean, why pit boy vs. girl when you can have both?
