Mellow Yellow

We're getting some rain downpour here in San Diego, which I am very happy about. The rain gives me an excuse to exercise all of my favorite total loser, shut-in fantasies... watching movies, reading books, crafting, and ordering lots of take-out. I'll take any excuse to lay low on the weekend! 

Despite the rainy weather, I wanted to put together a post that uses the warm, sunshiney color of yellow for inspiration. After all, it seems that rain is often associated with the color yellow... yellow rain-boots... yellow raincoat... Wonder why that is...Anyone know? Anyways, Enjoy!

Have you guys heard? 

The Pantone Color of the Year 2013 is Emerald! 

I am just looooving it! 

It's happy-go-lucky and calming at the same time. 

But just how influential is the announcement? 

Color forecasters, fashion designers and store buyers really do put some stock in 

the Pantone choice of color. Pantone's press release cited that Tracy Reese, Nanette 

Lepore and Marimekko plan to infuse the color into their Spring collections and 

Sephora is creating a Pantone Emerald beauty collection to be released in the spring.

So it sounds like we will be seeing a lot more emerald on the runways and shelves this season. 

I couldn't be happier... but I guess that's the point! The color is supposed to be a great mood enhancer!
