Color me happy

The red carpet at the Oscar's was a mix of whimsy and elegance with celebs appearing in gowns of solid black and white to shimmering metallics and bold blues and reds. One shoulder and sleeveless gowns in fitting sillhouettes were the desired styles this year, but they were painted in every color imaginable.


Just watching the Oscar's my spirits were lifted by the vibrant colors on the carpet. A long and cold winter paired with difficult times has people looking for inspiration in fashion, boosting their spirits with bright yellow coats and purple heels.

Color influences every aspect of our daily lives. Marissa Meyer of Google directs every color and design decision of the most widely used search engine. The spartan white design with splashes of blue, red, yellow and green mirrors her San Franciso penthouse. The design team at Google also discovered that blue links with a greenish hue are more likely to get clicked.

For a colorful tree this year, try a Miami design with brilliant pink, teal and purple and fun pink glitter Gloria Duchin Flamingo ornaments.
