I have missed you guys!! Let me start off by wishing each and every one an amazing year. May you remain healthy and focused to continue striving for your dreams. Remember that while you write and navigate the story of your life, no one but you should be holding your pen! Now let’s do this!
Last year was a year of many changes, I did not blog as much as I normally would as, I was determined of expanding my reach and global impact not only as a Blogger but also as an entrepreneur, and that requires a different type of commitment. I can honestly say that I worked hard, and I reaped some great benefits and results. As we grow older, we realize, that at every stage of our life, our demands and needs are completely different: it’s called GROWTH! Let’s continue to strive in becoming a better version of us every day, progress even in small dosages is fundamental to a solid foundation of self-love.
In the meantime, let us get into some Fashion trends as we kick off 2022 right?!! As usual, you know I love to have the color of the year featured on my first blog post. Color of the year is of course annually revealed by Pantone. This year it is no different, the color of 2022 is no other than Very Peri!
Displaying carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit, inquisitive and intriguing PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives. Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.
We are living in transformative times. PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. As we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways. Digital design helps us to stretch the limits of reality, opening the door to a dynamic virtual world where we can explore and create new color possibilities. With trends in gaming, the expanding popularity of the metaverse, and the rising artistic community in the digital space PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri illustrates the fusion of modern life and how color trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa.

“The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer,” added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. “Creating a new color for the first time in the history of our Pantone Color of the Year educational color program reflects the global innovation and transformation taking place. As society continues to recognize color as a critical form of communication, and a way to express and affect ideas and emotions and engage and connect, the complexity of this new red violet-infused blue hue highlights the expansive possibilities that lay before us”.
Encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time possessing a violet-red undertone, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.

I also like to take January to share some fresh images with you, and why not do it while giving it my own interpretation of Pantone’s Very Peri! Got me this cute lavender dress from T’s Closet, paired it with nudies (shoes!! take your mind out of the gutter), added a pop of color and necklace.
I think this will be an exciting color and that there is a lot of color combinations and looks that you will be able to play around with. I for one, I’m super excited about it and will work on getting me a few statement pieces that I can ROCK at least in Q1 of this year. Remember that fashion should be ageless and timeless and it should also make you feel GOOD about yourself. So remember not to compare yourself with anyone, we are all a limited edition created to push through our inner sparkle! Until next time Fashion Junkies!
