Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  <\/p>\n

I attended two fashion related events last week and wanted to share.  <\/p>\n

1) At a presentation by Crown<\/a>, we discussed where colour is headed in 2012 and the relationship between colour in fashion and home decor. (It\u2019s no secret that one influences the other!)  The Pantone Fashion Colour Report Spring 2012<\/a> was revealed last month and features the top 10 colors for next Spring.  <\/p>\n

For the most part the colours are happy and bright. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute says \u201cConsumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day.  <\/em>They have learned how color can help them alter a mood, while providing the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, my blogger friend Cecilia blogged<\/a> about the Spring 2012 colours and we were trying to guess what the Pantone colour of the year would be for 2012.  We\u2019re thinking it\u2019s either Tangerine Tango or Solar Power.  (I guess a hint would be it\u2019s first on the women\u2019s report. \ud83d\ude42 )  It follows  2011\u2019s colour of the year, Honeysuckle \u2013 also bright and optimistic and will be announced by the end of the year<\/p>\n

2) This past week was LG Fashion Week<\/a> in Toronto.  I was lucky to be invited by my friend Christine<\/a> to the Korhani<\/a> rug fashion show.  Yes, you read that correctly.  It\u2019s a fashion show where the models are sporting rugs crafted into jackets, skirts, pants etc.  Brilliant!  I have never attended a \u201creal\u201d fashion show before and it was fast-paced, inspirational and also provided some great people watching!   (Although I\u2019m not up on who\u2019s who in the fashion world, we did spy a few decor personalities.)   The majority of the show was an interpretation of Alice in Wonderland \u2013 creative and fun!<\/p>\n

Hard to believe that those are all beautiful rugs.  Now, let\u2019s play \u201cWhere\u2019s the magazine personality?\u201d  H&H\u2019s Lynda Reeves and Cameron McNeil are easy to spot (as I zoomed in) \u2013 hope that\u2019s not too stalkerish!  Style at Home editor Erin McLaughlin is a little more difficult to see (she\u2019s in the photo on the left above).   <\/p>\n

You can see better quality photos like the one above here<\/a>.  Next year, I would love to attend other shows like the Joe Fresh or Pink Tartan ones.<\/p>\n

Hope you have a wonderful week!  I\u2019ll update this post later with the winner of the Nudge Home giveaway<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
