"Blue is the color of trust and responsibility"
Spring 2016 is filled with various shades of blue creating upbeat and lavish moments. Perhaps these bluish hues signal something special, grand and hopeful lingering in the air. After all a winter of black, grey, brown and cream apparel paired with boots, coats, gloves while slogging through snow, rain, sleet and hail needs a blustery wind of change! Bring on Spring with mighty blue glory and brilliant sunshine to penetrate the hearts and souls across the great land. Why even Penelope Cruz got the "paint me" blue message- to step it up and liven the day with a splash of calming and trust infused scintillating blue. Cruz (Zoolander 2, 2016) recently on The Today Show was camera stopping with an azure blue jacket, azure suede pants and black sparkling heels. Or for Downton Abbey (Masterpiece Theatre - Season 6) fans the story lines are filled with so much change that everyone must adapt and move forward with grace and dignity or remain forever angry, alone and forgotten. The lifestyle, how the estate is run, women now working and the forward wardrobe twists provides provocative parallels on infinite change that always happens in life. Just how does a fashion maven capture these beautiful blues and parley into the daily life of a successful woman. And, of course, finishing off with the most iconic and memorable lipstick to marvel the eyes and lips of the beholder?

Spring 2016 is around the corner. So take inventory and spice up a wardrobe with a jolly bit of vibrant blue and finish with scandalous red lips for a magical effect.

Television, movies and life's reality constantly brings blustery winds to each and everyone. With grace, new thoughts and having an open mind will bring forth new opportunities, connections and community. After all, the past is always the past and the future - ahh there is the rub - is always the unknown. But, one thought in apparel is certain - elegant blue will always remain at the forefront of confidence and trust. Yes, a glorious Spring is definitely here to come. And, stunning blues are the talk of the times.

"Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very, very deep; so deep, indeed, that no cable could fathom it: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above. There dwell the Sea King and his subjects." - Hans Christian Anderson
