Do colors frighten you ?
​
Do you tend to retreat to your bland basics of: White, Grey, Black & Ecru?

Take the Quiz to find out what is your Fashion Color Personality and Rock your Rainbow this summer !

I am a definite Chambray ... but wished I could be a Fiesta Red. 
Were you surprised by your results ?

​Does it inspire you to get out of your comfort color and try something punchier?

If you are color challenged - the easiest way to introduce a new color to your palette is to start with small steps... ( a fun sandal, a tiny tote, or a summertime top.) 

I find the easiest way to Rock my Rainbow is to find a brightly colored print and wear it with my favourite denim.

It was announced last week that Pantone's newest 2016 color duo is Rose Quartz and
Serenity blue. A beautiful pairing of traditional gender opposites.

A modern blending of the essence of feminine purity with the tranquil restoration of peace and wellness.
​These softer pastels are reflective of the current trans-gendering socio lifestyle movement .

We can look forward to these pretty pastels to take shape for Spring 2016.
​Both colors were equally featured in Spring Runway collections.
​Shown in lightweight flouncy sheers and modern clean minimal shapes.

You know you've made it when you get a color named after you... 
The Pantone institute recently announced this April that their newest color addition is none other than "Minion Yellow".

The first ever color to be named after a character. This is the one shade of yellow when referenced you will know EXACTLY what color they are referring to.
( banana, banana, banana!!)

..PANTONE Minion Yellow is a color that heightens awareness and creates clarity...the color
of hope, joy and optimism.~ Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute®

A Vibrant and Up Lifting shade of Jaune.
Those sweet, servient, phallic looking cartoons are the 'IT ' color to wear this Summer.

Perfectly timed with their debut movie "Minions" scheduled to be released  July 10th, 2015.
( I know what color I'll be wearing to the movie )

Effervescent and Energetic, yellow has already begun to pick up momentum this Spring.

Do you dare to wear it all over?  or do you prefer it in small doses ?

But be warned, Yellow is not the easiest color on the color wheel to wear ! 
Picking the wrong shade can make you look sickly.

You must first determine your skin's undertones and then select the best shade for your complexion.  

Get some healthy rays and follow your yellow brick road to HAPPY 
with "Minion Yellow" !
