Hello, my name is Kati Driscoll and I’m excited to announce that I will be covering trends in the stationery industry and related topics for Annabelle’s Creations!  When Annabelle approached me to come on board, I couldn’t help but leap at the chance to indulge my passion for paper.  

For my first post, I thought I’d cover a trend that has been blooming in fashion: pretty pinks and brilliant oranges.  This citrusy color combination, paired with delicate florals is refreshing and inspiring - a herald of the warm weather that is on its way.

From top left, clockwise:

• Ribbon accents make Kate Spade’s clutch irresistible 
• A handmade droplet necklace makes the perfect accent
• Striking stripes adorn this dress from Neiman Marcus
• Pretty petals from Nicolette Camille
• A flirty drink is always in style [Brides.com]
• This vintage tablecloth proves that good taste never goes out of style 
• As always, stationery is always right on the heels of what’s in fashion [Annabelle's Creations]

I hope you’ve all enjoyed this first post.  Until next time!
