Prints on the move.

Prints on the move (I mean) Printed pants is a trend all fabulous, colorful and playful already noticeable this season. Street smart style has always been influencing runways and all the major fashion trends. So have printed pants. Choose your style- palazzos, harems, dhoti pants or straight fitted pants.


Quickly Printed tips:
  • Mute them with solid tees and shirts to get a subtle look.
  • Pair them up with bold jackets and high heels to turn back the crowd.
  • Accessorize with metallic neck pieces and rings and cuffs or glam it up.
  • Mix prints with a printed scarf to camouflage your looks.

READY FOR TANGO?

KEYWORD- TANGERINE

People! Time for getting in your shoes and do the Tango!
Pantone color Institute has announced Tango Tangerine as the color of the year 2012.


                Roses need not be red now! Orange roses suggest a deeper love affair.
                                                                                                               - Vogue, January 2012 

Chosen because of its “sophisticated and dramatic undertones,” Tangerine Tango (Pantone 17-1463) is a continuation of last year’s winner, Honeysuckle (Pantone 18-2120). The 2011 winner was said to be “inspiration to face life’s everyday troubles with verve and vigour,” with Tangerine Tango building off of that by giving an “energy charge” to move forward. Pretty dramatic language, but these people take their colours seriously.


Seems like its a mixture of emotions and reactions and observations! A marriage of the adrenaline rush of red and the warmth of yellow!

Let’s have a look at the tangerine mood and some tips/looks to show how you can use the colour to discharge its prominence or make it your accent! Colors are picked up from fashion, film, technology, art, popular travel destination, and “other socio-economic conditions.”



Tangerine is being picked up by fashion influencers and young consumers. Brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Christopher Kane, Mark Fast, Hermès, Dior, Marc Jacobs Nanette Lepore and Elie Tahari have shown the love for tangerine in their SS12 collections.

  • Tangerine stands out when used with white and black. So, it shows effectiveness in posters, signs etc. Its used as a point of sale to attract attention and make more of a fashion statement than using red, yellow or brasher alternatives.
  • MAKE-UP lovers, don’t worry, you’ll get something for your lips, nails and cheeks too. The color is rushing all over the fashion domain.
  • Check out how you can get inspired to wear the dramatic color-
When paired with brown, it brings out an amber cast.

   It has a deeper, more complex aspect than the more obvious brash pop colors.


Use it to dress fun, enticing and exotic windows

  •  If you still feel, its too much of a color, you can always go for accessories in tangerine with subtle shades in clothes! Be it bags or shoes or jewelry pieces.

    I Don't Have To See You Every Day- SHE AND HIM!

    She & Him - Don't Look Back from Merge Records on Vimeo.


    Remember the girl from 500 days of summer. Zooey Deschanel! I can't figure out why I like her so much!?!
    I bumped into her music band: SHE AND HIM with M. Ward, while reading the clothe's horse.
    Zooey writes the lyrics and is the female singer in there.
    Apart from the off-beat music, I love the retro styling for Don't Look Back!
