Our 2013 trends are inspired by more than the clothes and architecture of these locales, but by the people themselves, their unique culture and attitudes. Together, they represent America, and the melting pot of community and design that makes our country so unique.
To begin our blog tour of trends, we head South, to the vibrant and free-wheeling Miami.
Quick-tempo, Latin music blares at oceanside parties where casual is classy when it's painted in bright hues and large floral prints. Fabrics are light and breezy, flattering figures without clinging to the skin. At the club, short sun dresses are paired with long, bare legs and high-heeled sandals. In the office, a floral jacket is worn with billowing red slacks. The lifestyle is sexy. It's fun. It's relaxed, and it's adventurous.
Embrace the Miami trend by being bold and carefree. Pair a floral pattern with another floral pattern. Paint your bedroom a bright blue. Step into a pair of hot pink heels or hang a pink flamingo ornament on your Christmas tree.
