Most people – at least those with a highly functioning ability to suspend reality – have pictured themselves sailing down the French Rivera on a yacht, wind blowing through their hair while they effortlessly evoke the sexiness of Bridget Bardot mixed with the classic style of Audrey Hepburn.

We saw blue skies briefly in Portland today, but don’t worry – the blue will be back. Pantone, the world’s leading color authority for more than 45 years, recently announced “Pantone 15-5519 Turquoise” as the official color of 2010, so we can expect the calming, tranquil blue shade to dominate designer clothing, décor [...]

This is a favorite game: Find something you want bad, but can’t afford. Then find something similar – better, even – that costs about a bazillion percent less.
