Viva la Autumn


If asked I will exubrantly tell you that my very favorite season of the year is, hands down Fall - or Autumn as I love to refer to it. The reasons are many, the biggest of which is that somehow my biochemicals signal the cooking and reading season. There is simply nothing better to me than a quite evening spent stirring a soup or a hearty pot of yum, then finished in front of the fire, cup of tea and book in hand, fat kitty girl beside me. It feels like harvest, celebration and cozy all rolled up together and after the non stop sun of California all summer long - I welcome the cool and the feeling of calm that fall brings.

Color - is a whole other realm of awesomeness in the fall. The warm and bold colors enhance the whole experience of this time of year. The earthy undertones with a pop of unexpected brilliance is one of my favorite approaches in design.

To that end - I always look forward to the Pantone Color report. I love to see the influences of this report trickle down in catalogs, magazines and then ultimately wedding design. I have attached some tid bits here - but for the full report - check out PANTONE color + fashion and enjoy.
