Christian Dior spring-summer 2013 haute couture collection displayed the coming of spring beautifully.  This was the Creative Director Raf Simons second haute couture collection for Dior.  The models emerged walking up the steps from the floor below to be surrounded by mounds of  boxwood hedges and trees.  The collection was light and airy, with layers of tulle, fine fabrics, embroidery, beads and flowers in vivid and pastel hues.  “I wanted to do a very self-explanatory collection this season” said Simons. “I wanted it to literally be about the season; to be about the very idea of spring.”

The Color Trend for 2013


Color trend 2013 Aloe
Sherwin Williams color choice for 2013 is Aloe.  Here’s why they picked it as explained by Jackie Jordan, Sherwin-William’s director of color marketing,                                           “This is no ordinary pastel — Aloe is funky and glamorous, demure and free-spirited. While Aloe’s vibe can verge on retro, when paired with caviar blacks, crisp whites or soft grays, suddenly Aloe has a new soul and attitude. And Aloe is highly adaptable, making it a perfect pick for everyday spaces such as a breezy sunroom or a well-dressed living room.”   (source ~ apartment therapy )

Color trend 2013 pantone- emerald-

Pantone LLC’s Color of the year for 2013 is Emerald. The executive director of Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman said the following, “The entire green family has been so strong, upcoming through the ’90s as we’re paying attention to nature, so the family isn’t new, but what we needed to look at and revisit was the psychological background: Emerald is such a balanced color, and balance is something to pick up on and listen to.  It’s a color of growth, renewal, healing, unity and regeneration — words we’re all so in need of at this point of history.”    (source ~ Bella  &  image ~ Elegance & Simplicity )

The Year 2013


2013 will be my year
2013 to... ______________________________________________

Do you have a long list, a short list or no list of goals at all?

2013!  I always feel good with the start of the new year even though there are many things still piled high in the corner waiting to get checked off the list.  A new year is like a little grace from God telling me that it’s ok, I made it this far so keep going and I will get there!

2013 impossible

This is a wonderful quote and very true, “it always seems impossible until it’s done”.   I will have it posted up as a reminder for encouragement throughout the year.   Remembering back, there were times in my life that I felt the “impossible”.  Now I can see the bigger picture,  the many “impossible” goals and dreams became possible because of the small steps taken, guidance from others, lots of patience, and the strength from God.

I hope this new year will be blessed and the steps you take will become giant leaps to your goals and dreams.
