Metal Fall

Fall summons some pretty immediate visuals.  Ember orange rips through the leaves of New England.  New York City breaks out thicker jackets and cute hats dot the streets.  Oh, and pumpkin. flavored. EVERYTHING.  

Fall's one of my favorite times of the year for colors and for fashion.  I love a sharp jacket, a cozy sweater, and a well turned scarf. Traditional tones of fall are earthy, subdued, warm.

But this fall, we're seeing something fun happening in the color world.  Metallics are shining  this season, whether on dresses or in crafty pillows.   

Metallics really add a tone of youth to a space.  While they can be deadly if over used (I think we'd all like to move past some of what happened in the 80's)  metallics in thoughtful deployment create interesting, eye catching pieces.  Metallics have range.  Above you see a fun eccentric display of sheen where as the bottow of the two pictures shows that the color and the metallic can meld in to one.  

So spruce up a bit of your decor or highlight your favorite outfit with a dash of metal sheen.
