Color Me {Fuschia}

I've finally broken off my blue kick! I know it's taken awhile but I am branching out to a color that has always scared me a little because it is so bold, fuschia. I'm in love with how this color just pops against every surface. Whether it be in a bouquet, on a house, in your food, or on your feet, it illuminates every surface. It's a perfect shade to waken up all your winter blues and bloom into spring. This bold shade is perfect paired with navy, lime, gray, or white. Whatever color you pair it with, gives it a completely different feel. The lime accent will give off a preppy feel with the white let's the color shine all on its own. The navy brings a bit of nautical to the glam shade while the gray gives it a bit of a modern feel. Too scared to use it as the primary color for your soiree? Let is pop as the accent against colors that make you feel more comfortable. Whether as an accent or the show stopper, fuschia is the perfect shade for your spring soiree!

Color Me {Tangerine Tango}

Tangerine Tango. Even the name has a certain vibrancy to it. With Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year spreading brightness all around, it's hard to ignore the utter excellence of this shade. While tangerine can be a hard color to wear (personally, it makes me look sickly), it's flexibility cannot be denied. Whether you are wearing it or decorating with it, tangerine is beautifully paired with bright shades of turquoise and hot pink or lovely toned down with slate and burlap.  Throwing a spring or summer wedding? Surprise guests with vibrancy. Tangerine tulips atop a natural wood table with pops of light aqua in the linens would make for a lovely soiree! Want to go all out? Consider using tangerines as escort cards or even placing them at each place setting tied with a dainty ribbon sitting on top of your light aqua linens. The possibilities are endless!
