With a new year come new goals and aspirations and new colors. The people at Pantone, in their some how unquestionable wisdom, have named Mimosa the color for the year 2009. You may be most familiar with this color as the proper shade of a perfect Sunday brunch cocktail.

In this case Pantone is referring to the yellow cluster of the tropical shrub known as Mimosa. 

 


What does that mean to you?

 In a nuts shell it mean you will see and be expected to wear a very bright shade of yellow in ' 09. The mass introduction of such a dominate color in the wardrobe of the general public can only lead to a drastic increase of fashion violation. A color like Mimosa needs to be used sparingly. The untrained shopper could quite easily fall victim to a color over dose or COD.

So here is a quick review. The Idiots guide to Mimosa, a reference to the rest of us.

Here is a selection of my Sp/Sum 09 Accessory choices.

I am currently irritated by the Uggs slippers. I am sure they are warm, comfy  and cozy but should never be warn out of the house ( much like that pajama pant craze from a few years back)
 

 

         It can often be a difficult task to style an outfit that can be stylish and relevant in the afternoon as well as the evening. Such was the task this Saturday. My 4:20 viewing of sex and the city would soon be followed but cocktail and a night of dancing.I, However,  am always up for the task. I chose to wear a pinstripe denim trouser (from NY & Co)  and  a yellow cowl neck top. They were accessorized with a Jessica McClintock woven leather clutch and Via Spiga sandals. My jewelry selection were the silver guess Swarovski crystal watch, a silver rhinestone lock in key necklace ( a Tiffany replica) and large silver hoop earrings. This made for a fabulous evening look.

         I wore a light jacket over the backless cowl neck during the daylight hours. This provided a stylish yet subdued appearance.

 

        A well put together outfit can often be the icing on the cake of a wonderful outing. A fabulous movie, fierce outfit, delicious drinks and good company what more could one lady ask for. 

 

 

OK the close of New York's fashion week is not only the sign that there are five more weeks of winter but also that it time to start planing you spring wardrobe.

 


This taffeta tangerine baby doll (available at J Crew) is a great way to use the Lanvin dress as inspiration.  This green linen caftan dress (available at Victoria's Secret) not only provide the light flow of the Lanvin dress but is also available in a similar color.

Both these dress can be worn with these black ribbon lace up platform saddles (available at Victoria's Secret).
