Turquoise, Turquoise and More Turquoise!

That's right! The most fashionable color for 2010 will be turquoise! Pantone, the renowned authority in color-forecasting, has declared turquoise as the Color of the Year for 2010.  The company states that "turquoise transports us to an exciting, tropical paradise while offering a sense of protection and healing in stressful times."  But it also looks great on everyone and on everything!  

Turquoise has long been a popular choice for jewelry, but look for it on clothing, shoes, handbags, and more in the next year.  I love turquoise, so I can't wait to see what's in store for all of us fashionistas in 2010!

Rent-A-Dress

Check out my new obsession to find all of the best dresses for your holiday parties: Rent the Runway.  This website is like a Netflix for dresses.  You become a member, browse the dress selection, and rent a dress for a party, date, or just for fun.  The dresses are from designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Proenza Schouler, Alice + Olivia, and many more.  You can search by dress style, designer, occasion, or trend.  When you order your dress, Rent the Runway will send you two sizes to make sure you get the perfect fit.  At prices from $50 to $200, this website is a great way to get a fabulous dress for a low price.  And plus, you won't have to worry about wearing the same outfit twice, because you just return the dress after you wear it.

Simple, inexpensive and fun!

Burberry Perfects the "Art of the Trench"

We all know that Burberry makes fabulous trench coats, and has been since the early 20th century.  And now the historic company has added a new concept to their business plan: a social networking site.  Art of the Trench is an online forum for people who love Burberry trench coats.  Visitors can explore the history of the company and of the trench, and they can also share their personal pictures showing their love for the Burberry trench.   Other people can comment on the pictures and pick their favorites.  It's a fun way for Burberry lovers to share their stories through pictures.  As the website states, "Art of the Trench is a living document of the trench coat and the people who wear it."  Art of the Trench is a great marketing tool for the company, and a good way for visitors to see the history of Burberry and how it is still popular today.
