Here's how we remember it: Cobalt popped up a few years back especially as an accent, then teal made an appearance (which was great because it looks good on 99% of everyone), then we started seeing navy (just a little and it still felt a bit conservative), then turquoise and aqua came on strong (the brighter the better). Slowly but surely each of these blues made an appearance and now, for Fall '09, we have a beautiful kaleidoscope to choose from — in all types of pieces.
We couldn't resist sharing Meryl Streep's speech, as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, about Cerulean blue. It got us thinking about how we can be slaves to what's available. How many times have you gone looking for a particular colored shoe but can't find it anywhere because it's simply not on the shelves that season? Well if you love blue, this is your moment to stock up and shine.
The only thing missing from Meryl's rant, and this post, is any mention of the peacock. We'll sign off now by leaving you with a "Deep Thought" fashion tip. Nature is always the best place to find color combinations. Even though a peacock feather has 3 shades of blue that no pigment can reproduce (because the color comes from the microscopic structure of the feather) it can still inspire an awesome blue outfit. If the peacock has no problem wearing blue with purple, green, black and brown neither should you.
P.S. We'll post some photos soon of all the blue we have to offer.

I LOVE that part of The Devil Wears Prada...makes me snicker every single time.
p.s. Thanks for the inspiring peacock photo, I'm going to make like a feather and float on into my closet for a mix/match session :)
