It's a Turquoise Kind of Year

As I'm sure you know, turquoise is Pantone's 2010 color of the year.

and I just noticed this - 

Look at me, getting it exactly right this year!

Blush and Bashful

I am loving the new nudes for spring.  Dusty pinks and grays, and the most bashful of all colors, beige.  It's so dreamy and ethereal.  And there's the fact that I love and have always loved beige.  There, I said it.  Beige in all its incarnations - the warm beige of camel, the pale beige of cream.  Tell me I'm boring, I don't care.  It is neutral and goes with everything and you will never regret buying a pair of shoes, a sweater or a couch that will go with everything.  

The nude shoe is something I learned long ago will add leanness and length to your leg.  If they are cut really low on the foot too - it's like an optical illusion miracle!   For those of you who are looking to add a little nude to your life - these capture two huge trends for spring - wedges and grey - and they're a steal!
