We are barely into fall fashions, but here come the spring colors.  These look a little muted on the page, but believe me they are anything but shy. The image at left is from Glamour magazine.

The PANTONE Color Institute posted its top 10 women’s fashion colors for Spring 2013. This Monaco Blue dress is one of the splashy colors that will make its appearance in fashion. The pillow, pictured below, is hot in home accessories. I love all the colors and poppy red, emerald, lemon zest and tender shoots are my favorites. Which one is your favorite?
