Look at me.We were obsessed with hot pink all summer,
and according to the Fashion Week runways, it looks like it's coming back again next spring. It's bright, fun and sexy in a super-feminine way—plus, it has a certain look-at-me effect.

The Holy Grail.Blue is calming. It can be strong and steadfast or
light and friendly. Almost everyone likes some shade of the color blue.
Cerulean Blue was so
awesome… in 1999.
Fairy tale.Another trend that has emerged from fashion weeks in India as well as elsewhere is white. In fact, the
all white fairy tale look is one of the hottest trends to emerge this season.
