With summer winding down (wow, already) - we are all hitting the beach every second we get. We're lucky in NYC to have so many beautiful beaches nearby. And we're loving blue hues at the beach with a little silver for glimmer. See you in the sand...

We’re seeing lots of bright color in the kids market. MULTI-COLOR to be exact. Kids are so inspiring to us, from the art they create, to the outfits they put together on their own. Mix and match has always been one of our principles, and we love how you can mix all the colors of the spectrum and make it work for kids.

Colorful floral prints are always popular when the weather gets hot. What’s more unusual for summer are florals with a darker side. I’ve always loved these kinds of floral textiles on black ground popular in the 1930’s, and it’s so great to see that this trend is being embraced by certain fashion designers right now. Black really lends a sense of mystery to this normally cheery category of prints, don’t you think?

I am loving these painterly designs right now- the carefree attitude combined with the delicate, watery colors feels so fresh.

When it comes to summer color ideas for dressing and decorating, why not take inspiration from summer hot spots that embrace color? Take a cue from the bright, vibrant colors of Burano. Electric blues, fresh teals, and crimson reds are perfect complements to the sun-soaked days of summer.  

Inspired by the thought of spring showers, we are feeling this color palette from Pantone's Spring 2011 color report. A soothing combination for a hectic time of year! 

Yesterday I posted this tweet in a pre-Highpoint craze (49 days to go!), and the lovely ladies of Trend Bible offered up their help to answer the question that had my head-spinning: What color works best with yellow?
