It Takes Two to Tango

The Pantone Color Institute recently announced that Tangerine Tango will takeover as the color of the year for 2012, replacing 2011's Honeysuckle. The institute describes the hue as a “spirited reddish orange [that] continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.”

Popularity for this shade is seen in the fashion world, as many designers incorporated the orange hue in their spring 2012 collections. The Pantone Fashion Color Report Spring 2012 highlights designers such as Elie Tahari, Cynthia Steffe, and Nanette Lepore, who used this flavorful color in their collections. The report also highlights other must-have shades of the upcoming season, which include Solar Power (a bright yellow), Margarita (muted green), and Cabaret (punchy pink), among others.

Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, sums it up well: “Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism, and the promise of a brighter day.” Tango Tangerine certainly fits the bill for this and will provide a hint of spice to your spring wardrobe.

Jimmy Choo has seen rainier days

As a WWII boot was made, little did they know what kind of trendy hit the Hunter Rain Boots would be. The basic "huntress" boots are priced at $125 and are available in many different colors, navy being my favorite. And then there are the JIMMY CHOO special edition boots. These are priced at $425; they are fantastic and bring great texture and originality to the rain boot we all know.

They can look great with a skinny jean or legging and over sized sweater, a long sleeved sun dress or even look adorable with a pair of grungy shorts. These boots are a great way to spice up your outfit when the weather is not looking so well. Head to any Bloomingdales, Saks 5th Avenue or Jimmy Choo stores, to pick up your boots in a variety of different colors.

4 of the Hottest Men’s Runway Shoes for Spring/Summer 2012

Men’s fashion week has shown numerous new collections from various renown designers. Take a closer look at the footwear for upcoming Spring/Summer 2012. 5 of some of the hottest and newest shoes that have strutted down the runway have wowed audiences.
Emporio Armani, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton and Burberry have all displayed their finest footwear on the runway. Emporio Armani’s black patent leather and gray laced shoes for men look sharp with a suit or slacks. These shoes are more appropriate for a dressy occasion. Jimmy Choo featured a laid back, casual shoe. The men’s sneakers had what looks like blue snake skin design.
Louis Vuitton featured a more summery look. The uniquely designed sandals are brown leather. A strap covers the top of the ankle and the toe portion of the shoe is covered. Burberry Prorsum geared their men’s collection toward the Spring season. The fully enclosed shoes are laced and have intricately patterned designs. The patterns are different shades of tan and brown.

Jimmy Choo Styled Uggs

Ugg boots have been around for quite some time and always (without a fail) spark a heated debate - you either love 'em or hate 'em. With the arrival of Fall, the sheep skin footwear are a staple for those who want durability and comfort. However, the question still remains: are they fashionable? Recently, Jimmy Choo has teamed up with the brand and created his own high fashion spin. Can the boots finally be salvaged? Is it possible the ugly duck can finally become a swan? Jimmy Choo created limited edition styles straight from the runway by bedazzling the boots in animal print, studding, and fringe. I don't own Ugg boots myself, but these styles aren't too bad - actually, i'm sort of into them. I like the added funk and color, not to mention that you immediately notice them on the streets. The price ranges from $495-795 (compared to the originals which range $120-$180). Celebrities such as Nicky Hilton tweeted "I love my new Jimmy Choo Uggs" and added a picture of black fringed boots, adorned by silver studded stars. If celebrities are wearing them will you? Did Jimmy Choo do justice to the Ugg? What do you think?

The GOOD, The BAD, The UGLY

Shoes, shoes, shoes! We, as women love our shoes. You can never have too many and the urge is always there for wanting more. It's something men simply do not understand about women.

Above we have a selection of shoes, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which are which, you decide? We all have different opinions! Shoes come in different sizes, colors, height, patterns, fabric and most importantly design. Design is key and with some shoes you take one look and think no way, will anyone actually buy those? Which pair would you wear? Which pair would you trash? Which pair would you be ashamed to be seen in? Your opinions mean everything to us at CHAOS, so tell us what you think!!!
