Spring 2012 color trends - Cockatoo -



This week my color sets are inspired by the color Cockatoo - a blend of seafoam and mint green hues.

One of the ten Spring 2012 colors (as declared by Pantone). It's light, carefree, and whimsical. 
The color is Pantone 14-5420 Cockatoo which to me, closely resembles Tiffany Blue.
Here is a set I put together. Enjoy!

What I'm wearing: 
From Temptation Boutique: Fedora Hat, Jeans: Kan Kan, Satin Oxford blouse and black body top, Jacket: Tanolli, Boots: Hunter, Jewelry: Swarovski.



 Love the studs on my Kan Kan jeans

 Isn't it cool? just love this golden studs on my jacket




I am so in love with this color and would love to see it paired with a blush or hot pink.  However, this color can surly stand alone as well! Below are some of our favorite examples of how you can apply this color to your wardrobe!




Here are a few of my cockatoo picks...

The Bohemian goddess look is one so often embraced by fashionistas. Pair distressed jeans with a cockatoo colored top and an abundance of jewelry. Gorgeous turquoise colored jewelry contrasts nicely against browns, oranges, and coppers that is boho style.  Finish off with some bronzer and a fringe cross-body bag to make the blue hues pop.

Another great place to show off colorful cockatoo is at one of the most popular spot for summer, the beach! Choose a cockatoo bikini this spring and for a fashion forward look every time you go to cool off in your pool or at the beach. Shorts, colorful crop tops, sunglasses, and flip-flops are all great essentials for this Cali look!


For a sophisticated look, go for the chic style. This look only uses pops of cockatoo with muted earth tones. A more structured attire making this outfit suitable for work or play.

The last look is based on a Hollywood starlet’s night out. A sexy, slinky dress and hints of gold leave the spotlight on you all night long. A pink melon lip sits perfectly against the gold and blue hues. Paired with jeweled cockatoo sandals to tie it all together.

Electric and playful

Image
The runways for spring were sprinkled with pops of  cobalt blue , which is a perfect alternative for those that aren’t keen on a typical pastel palette. This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at...

Glam Camouflage: the Not-So-Invisible Trend

Image
With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate. Camouflage print has a lot of well-earned stigma attached, with military overkill and three-quarter length cargo shorts carrying much of the blame. This season, camouflage is set to make a massive comeback becoming one of the most coveted looks of the summer. Of course, it’s not what you wear but the way you wear it. Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel. However, spring 2012’s runways were filled with colorful camo patterns that looked – dare I say it – actually ladylike! The t...

How to wear leopard print shoes

Image
What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes. Not only because leopard prints have black in them -- although that certainly doesn't hurt -- but also because black really emphasized the lighter tones in traditional leopard print patterns. So, that's an easy one, and you could just r...
