Color Inspiration: Orange Crush

Orange has always been one of my favorite colors - it was even the color of my prom dress, way back when in 2004.  2012 PANTONE Color of the year, Tangerine Tango, is a beautiful reddish orange. It's very bright and works perfectly in home goods, beauty products, and especially in fashion (think color-blocking trend). Shades of orange can go from more pastel mango colors, to warm golden hues, and even neon. If you're like me and not ready to move past the neon trend, look to designers like Matthew Williamson, Cambridge Satchel Co, and DVF for hot neon orange pieces to add to your wardrobe. Queen of Color, Kate Spade has orange everything from quirky tote bags to iphone cases. And if you're only looking to add accents of orange, look to using beauty products like MAC lipstick in Morange and Deborah Lippmann Lara's Theme nail lacquer.
