THE COLOR RUN *5k of color running madness

Keeping with my theme of the day about colour!

So any artist/designer will tell you how colour can become an obsession when you are working on a particular project, so imagine my sheer joy at discovering this colour event in the US which takes place every year in various cities around the country! It's 'less about speed and more about getting active and enjoying a colour crazy day with friends, family and members of the community', it looks insanely fun and what an amazing way to spend a day!

I'm hoping this will come to Europe.......!!!

Key fashion colours for Spring/Summer 2013!

Admittedly most people are still just getting their heads around Autumn/Winter 2012 and thinking of which coat to buy for November, but the fashion world is waaaay ahead of all that! Many designers are already putting to bed Autumn/Winter 2013 collections and starting work on Spring/Summer 2014 collections. Buyers, however, are looking to Spring/Summer 2013 and the new collections have all just been previewed between NY, London, Paris and Milan. On top of Vogue magazine and the like, there are also so many fashion blogs out there that cover the shows so well, I'm not about to start adding my take on it all!

However, I did find this Pantone Fashion Colour Report for Spring 2013 which I found pretty interesting, and considering that Herve Leger, Nicole Miller and Tommy Hilfiger (amongst others) took part in the Pantone report, I'd venture that the colours will be pretty key next season.

'Monaco Blue' will apparently be the colour of the season so I'm feeling more nautical fashion coming our way soon.....
