Fuchsia February - Fuchsia and plum

I love color. LOVE LOVE LOVE. And I get so inspired by different combinations.

This month, albeit late, I'm picking fuchsia! Throughout the rest of the month, I want to highlight different combos using one fabulous color.

Hot Knots

At first, I wasn't too fond of this whole nautical movement. The anchors and everything seemed so...1995 or something (I think I used to have a huge anchor necklace...gross)

But then I really started falling in love with all the sailors knots. It's so preppy and refined yet rugged and utilitarian.

And oh so classic.

Everybody loves a good polka...

So I have to start out by saying that I hate polka dots. Hate them. One of the first stores that I visited on my selling trips told me that if I didn't have polka dots, then they couldn't buy my line. I decided right then and there that I just wasn't a polka dot kind of girl.

But I have to admit, some of the best designers in the biz have been solving this whole polka dot problem and there has been a polka dot renaissance, if you will. I know that dots are nothing new, but I'm loving the more modern twist these have.

I'm so inspired, I'm going to have to step out of my no-polka dot zone and get me some dots!
