Every Spring, new colors are introduced for the season, and old colors are brought back into style. This year, it’s no different. Spring used to be synonymous with pastels–baby pinks, baby blues, yellow, etc. However, a new trend is making a splash: color blocking with bright colors. Looks like Summer trends are appearing a little bit early this year!
In today’s blog post, I’m going to share with everyone some fun ways to put these colors into action. Whether it be in clothing, home decor, or beauty, there is definitely a theme going on!
From Glamour Mag
Tangerine
From Justdodesign
Adding a tangerine couch to a room with white walls automatically adds a splash of color into the home.
Mustard Yellow
From Polyvore
Mustard yellow may be too overwhelming for a head to toe look, however it is a great accent piece for your wardrobe. It also goes well with neutrals!
Royal Blue
From House Beautiful
If a large colorful couch is too much color for you, why not try smaller upholstered chairs? Not only would these look great for the dining room, they are also great pieces in the living room.
Magenta
From ThisNext
To make a little black dress more Springtime appropriate, add a colorful magenta heel!
Tan Taupe
From Daily Look
If you’re sporting a color blocking outfit, add a neutral taupe clutch to complete the ensemble. With so many types of clutches available these days, you are bound to find one perfect for a romantic night, or just a casual day out.
Mint green
From My Fashion Beauty Tips
The light mint green color has been extremely popular for 2012!
Baby pink
From Bijou Kaleidoscope
Remember when the sole use of baby pink paint was for painting rooms for baby girls ? Pink now has a new purpose! With so many shades of pink, you can definitely find a shade to match a sophisticated home decor style.
Grey
From Jakabare
If pink walls are not your cup of tea, you can try grey paint! Contrary to popular belief, grey is not as drab as you think!
Purple
From Cozy Biscuit
Try a set of purple dining ware for the table instead of white! It instantly adds a touch of Spring into your kitchen.
Turquoise
From Zuniga Interiors
Turquoise is a popular accent color for the season. Not only is it perfect for the Spring, it can also carry over to be a Summer time color!

Spring Picnic Ideas – At Home Or In the Great Outdoors
Picnics are great activities to engage in during the Springtime. Not only is the weather perfect, but the green and colorful scenery is the perfect backdrop!
Do you remember classic picnics in the old days–sitting on a checkered tablecloth on the ground, eating homemade sandwiches and drinking lemonade? I certainly do! However, picnics have come a long way since then. Many people go all out in decorating their picnic areas!
In today’s blog post, I’m going to share with everyone a few fun ideas for your next Spring picnic! Leave the checkered tablecloth behind and add a new touch to your dining area!
From Celeb Style
Instead of using plain paper plates and plastic cups, why not up the ante and bring your nicer dining ware? It turns a casual picnic into a sophisticated dining affair.
From Inspiration For Home
Instead of sitting on the hard ground, why not bring a few comfy pillows to use as cushions? Whether you’re sitting on a checkered cloth or on a tree stump, comfort is definitely necessary.
From Modern Home Idea
Decorate your picnic table with fresh blooms! For a more sophisticated picnic table, try adding a table runner. You can DIY one or pick one up from your local superstore.
From Sunset
Tired of sandwiches in your picnic basket? Why not fill up your next picnic basket with fancier finger foods such as deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail, or a light salad!
From Cake Events Blog
If you’re having an indoor picnic, bring the outdoors inside by decorating your table with fresh Spring blooms! Create a tablescape (like the image above) and enjoy the Springtime in the comfort of your home.

A Rainbow of Blooms For Your Home

Though it may seem like we’re always sunny, we have our bouts of rain and showers as well (anyone else here in SoCal witness the thunderstorm last Friday? Water was gushing out of the gutters like a waterfall)! The showers in April will definitely bring May flowers in the next few weeks.
With so many beautifu flowers blooming, we should definitely take advantage of it! Why buy fake flowers when you can find fresh flowers in your garden?
