Panetone Forecast Spring 2009

Think Easter eggs, jelly beans, watercolors and you’ve got Spring!  Is that really any different than any other year? Probably not.  But what I am seeing is a twist on the pairing of colors; a bright yellow top with a purple belt cinched around the middle, light grey trousers and a pale purple handbag.  Different shades of bright colors brought together in unique combinations.  Let’s be subtle though ladies, don’t throw a bright orange skirt on with a bright green top and a fluorescent pink handbag, Yikes, call the fashion police!  Instead throw in a neutral; a slate blue/grey skirt, a sherbet orange tank and a pink/orange/yellow stripe cardigan, then add a WOW! a pair of bright patent yellow cork wedges on your perfectly mani’d feet.  Really cute and super Springy!  I’m off to Vegas for the Accessories Show and I’m not coming back without unique color bags, belts and scarves, so get ready!  Oh! What do you think about KatieKay.com adding men’s accessories, not bright Easter egg colors of course, but I’m thinking some really cool accessories for the fella’s, I’ll be lookin’.

As you may have guessed, I just took a little writing seminar, or writing exercise class if you will.  I am not a writer, never have been, I just play one on TV, jk…  So, I thought why not get a writer’s opinion on how I’m doing with my little blog.  I try not to be too critical of myself and I really do write how I talk.  Is that a good thing I ask, yes, yes it is.  Ok cool, I’m on the right track.  So how can I improve?  Well I really knew the answer to this; better word usage (the correct spelling for the right context, says the Chief of the Grammar Police, my husband), yeah,  yeah I know Dude!  Check and re-check with spell check, OK, OK!  Write about what you know and what you like.  I will never be the great amercian writer, I cannot and will not write fluffy fiction with soft flowing words and tons of metaphors, ick!  I write quippy and silly, “stick to blogging Katie”, good idea!  Read my blog if you like, don’t if you don’t…doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit.  Like I said I am not a writer, but Hey! my 7th grade english teacher Mrs. Larsen?, said “you have the gift of gab”, doesn’t that mean something?
