Crazy weather
I’m beginning to think that the warmer weather of last week was ‘false spring’ and led me in to a false sense of warmer months being imminent. Because this week, we are back to the erratic weather including rain, floods, high winds and even more frosty nights and misty mornings.
It seems the shoots in the ground thought the same as me and I hope they can make it unscathed through to spring soon.
Autumn 2024 colours
Whilst I am longing for Spring, it’s at this time of the year that I think about seasons even further away with the recent fashion weeks in New York, London and Milan this month, and Paris this week.
From these fashion weeks, Pantone® have predicted 10 colours that they think will be prevalent in Autumn/Winter 2024/25 which all make me feel warm and cosy like I’m wrapped in a luxurious velvet blanket.
Food
There’s a big vibe of autumnal produce and harvest time in this mix of colours including names of plum, pumpkin, orange, tomato, egg plant (aubergine), and almond milk.
Nature
Lots of the colours evoke the natural work around us with fern, rainforest, iguana, pine cone, sheepkin and swan.
Crisp mornings
There’s a sense of chilly cold winter skys from Starlight Blue right through to Evening Blue.
Weather
Even these colours are hinting at the crazy changing weather we’re experiencing with extremes such as Storm Front, Sunburn, Misted Yellow and Moonstruck.
