IT'S A SPRING THING - TANGERINE







It's bright and cheery and typically symbolizes energy and zest. There isn't a better colour than orange.  I think it is under appreciated - it's never anyone's favourite. But call orange "tangerine tango" and it becomes the Pantone colour of the year! 

It's everywhere. Furniture, decor, clothing, stationery, you name it! And I am glad - because tangerine is sweet and delightful.





Ceci New York has designed U.S. postage stamps to be sent with tangerine embellished invitations and stationery. How clever!

Trust Anthropolgie, who I believe has always embraced orange, to come up with some amazing "springy and not over-the-top tangeriney" frocks.

Orange (now: tango tangerine) has always been a staple at Flaunt! Here are some of our designs that feature the colour:

And alas, I must get my sorry arse up off this computer chair and go for a run.  That 1/2 marathon is coming up soon.  Though I think I would run much quicker and look way sexier doing it in these awesome Nikes:

On second thought this looks like a better option.  Too early for vodka? Nah. Tangerine-Ginger Caipirinhas:
