Spring 2012 color trends - Starfish -

Introducing the color Starfish - one of the trending colors for Spring 2012. Layering neutrals has never been so stylish!  
They are versatile and can be combined with any color and any outfit. Neutrals are perfect choices to complement your style for everyday wear as well as sophisticated options for formal occasions. 
I paired this beige dress with Starfish accessories, because adding textured pieces to a monochromatic look or layering a single color in various tones will give you that neutral look while highlighting your best features.

Starfish is one of the neutral colors for the season, which looks to be somewhere between a taupe and an a camel.  Mixed with spring's bright tones, it is a perfect backdrop for taming and grounding the bold colors. 






Starfish is one of those subtle shades that never goes out of style and is so easy to work into any wardrobe from bohemian beauty to classy conservative. Neutral tones like Starfish also provide the perfect base for all kinds of vibrant, colorful accessories, so you don't have to sacrifice color to wear this tan tone. Pantone's palette suggests pairing Starfish with a teal or tangerine orange accent. I fully support this suggestion, but who says you have to stop there? Try all kinds of awesome accent colors until you settle on one that's just right for you.





Go full Starfish for an ultra-sophisticated monotone look, or switch up some of the accessories with super bright colors for a youthful springtime vibe. A color this versatile can compliment virtually any style.


Natural versatile neutrals add practicality to this season's bright colors. Starfish is the perfect warm tone to accompany any shade in the palette. Sandy colored woven accessories like bags and hats, scarves, or chiffon dresses and tops are great ways to work in this neutral.



Be your own star and shine bright and beautifully into the night with this simply elegant Starfish!

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.

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.
