Tickled Pastel

With a color palette reminiscent of gourmet French macarons, Burberry Porsum's 2014 spring line is sweet decadence.  Pour elle: fluffy bags, heavily embroidered, sheer skirts, and candy-colored coats, contrasted elegantly with simple summer sandals.  Vivid colored sunglasses are paired perfectly, and unexpectedly, with the subdued colors of the preppy men's ensembles. The collection is a clear departure from last year's jewel-toned leather trenches and neon, transparent bags.  Instead, Burberry opted for more painterly, delicate details-- down to the pink petals that rained over the runway at NYFW.  For me, Porsum is the yummiest Spring has to offer -- Bon Appétit!

Emerald City

2013's Pantone color of the year is, of course, Emerald.  Here are some of my favorite demonstrations of this hue.  Top to bottom: YSL, Kenzo, Valentino, Burberry Porsum, Gucci, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Gucci, Furla, YSL.
