YOU? NO, HUE!

So I've determined that the color of the moment is PUNCHY PINKY-PURPLE. 

It all started when I woke up feeling inspired by a silk taffeta dress from designer Julie Haus' Fall collection.  I stopped by her (AMAZING!!!) Spring '08 presentation at Pop Burger two nights ago, so I had Julie and her spectacular palette on the brain.

Then...OMG!...I remembered I already own the Mac Lacquer lipgloss in almost the exact same shade. It's called Veneer. Yep, wearing it now -- not avec dress, of course.  I'm so pleased with it that I've actually been reapplying.

The hue is not as electric as neon pink, not as rich as magenta. 

On the Pantone color spectrum (of course I looked it up), it seems to be a hybrid of 813 C and 2385 C.

And, I've discovered that I'm not alone in my pinky-purple haze.

And check out this Alessi kitchen timer!  This color trend even extends into the world of interiors.

Just remember (I keep reminding myself):  As with all good things, moderation is key.

YOU are right on the HUE for interiors. I recently toured a Decorator Show House. "PUNCHY PINKY-PURPLE" popped up in so many rooms....one room was even walled in it. I equated it to the preppy fashion that is back in our wardrobes. Without a doubt, it's a happy color to wear and to experience.

Do you think it's all because of which "cancer awareness month" it is?

When it comes to October, as far as I'm concerned, pink is the new orange.
