Pantone Cabaret: Vibrant and Energizing

If you're a pink girl, you're in luck because the color forecasters at Pantone have included a vibrant pink in the spring 2012 color palette!

For this set I chose three extraordinary shades using Pantone’s spring 2012 Color Forecast: Cabaret, Sweet Lilac and Driftwood. Cabaret (bracelet & shoes), a vibrant, electric pink; Sweet Lilac (dress), a total contrast to Pantone’s Cabaret, is a delicate pinkish lilac, which inspires summertime romance in any wardrobe, and Driftwood (coat)  an amazing blend of gray and beige and a stylish neutral.

Our Life in Pink bracelet, made with bombona seeds, adds a touch of eco- glamour to the outfit. Find it at Irma Guzman Eco Jewelry.

This is so me!

“(…) style is not about being a follower of trends, coveting this or that season must-have; it’s about carefully selecting pieces that deserve to be in your closet because they represent you. Personal style is something that lasts through years and fads (…)” EcoSalon, e-magazine

I have always said that jewelry should not only be part of your closet but also spread the word about who you are. Instead of going out there as someone's mannequin, find statement pieces that let people know you are not like everyone else. It's good to be tasteful, but it's even better to be memorable, unforgettable.

So, how can you select that statement piece that represents who you are? There are many considerations to take into account before buying it, but number one is, you have to fall in love with it! It doesn't matter how much effort went into the making of a necklace or bracelet; your desire for it must be immediate. Of course, it's a treat to realize that the piece you are wearing is handmade, organic and with lots of seeds, but first you really have to fall in love, you have to feel the connection between you and that accessory.

Do you have a statement accessory that represents your style? Does it make you stand out from the crowd? Does it make you say "this is so me"?

The following selections can represent your uniqueness, precisely because they are one-of-a-kind,(just like you) so, fall in love with the one that best describes your style, make it yours, and let it speak for you!

The 10 Pantone hues that will color your look for Fall/Winter 2011

Pantone, the global authority on color for design industries, has announced the Fashion Color Palette for Fall/Winter 2011. These are the top 10 colors that will prevail this upcoming season. From left to right: Bamboo, Emberglow, Honeysuckle, Phlox, Cedar, Deep Teal, Coffee Liqueur, Nougat, Orchid Hush and Quarry.

And these are our favorites, Irma Guzman Eco Jewelry is proud to have the closest matching Pantone colors for necklaces.



Cedar, a mossy, sandy green that "evokes the freshness of a cool mist in a dark forest" as Pantone puts it. Our Evergreen necklace from the Amazon Rainforest Collection is a good representation of this neutral color.

Honeysuckle (right), a vibrant reddish pink that mixes well with the other 9 colors in the palette.

Phlox (left), named after the flower, is described by Pantone as a "magical deep purple with a hint of mystery." We have mixed these two amazing colors to create Aurora Borealis, which is part of the Amazon Rainforest Collection. Romantic and elegant for a night on the town.

Nougat, a neutral, that could be defined as creamy and warm. Consider Phlox, Honeysuckle, or Emberglow for a feminine touch. Our Baru necklace from our Amazon Rainforest Collection fits perfectly this description. Feminine and stunning this design will garner attention.

We often think of yellow as more of a summer color, but Pantone's Bamboo will take your fall outfits to a new level this year. Our Olivia Necklace is a good representation of this stunning color. A multitude of tagua petals will add a pop of fashion to your wardrobe.

One of our favorites is Coffee Liqueur, an elegant, deep earthen neutral that can be used as a warmer substitute for black. For bold impact mix it with Honeysuckle or Emberglow. True artistry meets Hot Coffee and Tahiti necklaces in an exciting combination of earthly colors.
