Blog Love | 16
This week we have another special guest, Liivi from The Unexpected Chic. Liivi and I have known each other since we were little, growing up together is Toronto’s Estonian community. We both ended up studying Interior Design at Ryerson and moving to London (however both at different times). Since then, Liivi has set up her own design consultancy company Magnolia Hill Interiors. Welcome!!
To start with, it’s a pleasure to be writing for Kat on Dot Dot Dash! It’s such a feel-good blog with a personal touch and a great source of inspiration! 
The focus today is colour, coming right from the globally recognized colour gurus themselves, Pantone. Pantone has chosen a powerful punch of a red-orange for the 2012 Colour of The Year, and it’s called Tangerine Tango!
It’s meant to reflect a revitalising energy that we all need and crave as we pull out of this tough economic stint. I can’t help but feel a bit peppier when I look at it! According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, the shade is “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”
Tangerine Tango is definitely a cross-genre trend colour that looks as gorgeous in fashion and beauty as it does in interior and industrial design. Try adding a pop of fire to your nails or lips, or a fun accent to your living space.
(Editor’s Note: Definitely my fav! I could use some nail polish in that colour, essie?)
