Spring 2014 Color Report

Patone has released the Fashion Color Report for 2014 and wow, are they BEAUTIFUL!

Patone is calling it "A Season of Colorful Equilibrium."

Designers take a modern twist on the traditional for spring 2014 by pairing soft pastels with vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium. Inspired by a mixture of blooming flowers, travels abroad, and strong, confident women, designers use color to refresh, revive and defy conventional wisdom. These are a few outfits I am dying to get this Spring!

1. Peplum, Jeans, Heels, Clutch

2. Dress, Booties, Earrings, Clutch

3. Top, Skirt, Heels, Clutch

4. Dress, Scarf, Booties, Aviators, Clutch

5. Dress, Wedges, Handbag

6. Peplum, Pants, Necklace, Heels, Handbag

7. Skirt, Tank, Necklace, Hat, Sandals

Little Black Dress

Saturday night in Jacksonville, we planned what we thought was going

to be a great dinner at Chart House but sadly, we were very disappointed

in the food that we ended up back at our hotel at Ruth Chris.
It's safe to say we are a little spoiled when it comes to food :).

We had a great time in Jacksonville though and
it was definitely a much needed getaway.
PS. I am SO in love with this dress I am planning when I can wear it again!
