Tangerine dream...

It's official - Pantone has announced the official colour for 2012 and it's "Tango Tangerine". This confirms that the vibrant hue, already a make-up mainstay, has been fully embraced by the world of fashion and design. It's a colour that is stimulating and flattering on a variety of skin-tones, creating an uplifting effect. I hope the following images inspire!

How's your mullet...

Now trending, according to style bible Vogue, is the mullet dress.  Like its hair counterpart, it's business at the front - legs, and a party at the back! This will be hard to pull off if you're not blessed with great legs, a softer approach like Diane Kruger or Berardi's dress is the way to go.
