We asked Kara Kurth, our leading trend-setter to recap her biggest takeaway for 2010 + to give us a preview of what's to come in 2011, this is what she had to say.

2010 was all about being bold! Pop, shine + surprise. Our most popular holiday card was this lovely card, which totally encapsulates the bright + bold idea.

My prediction for 2011:: it will start out in a dreamstate, followed by spring trends with a mixture of whimsy + bold patterns and textures reminiscent of the 70s. 

I think a dreamstate palette will claim the new year. It's the perfect transition from 2010 to 2011 and I am excited to see the other trends take light over the coming year. Stay tuned.

My advice for any new year? Be your own-trendsetter. Whether it be preppy, classic, modern or vintage-- own it. Confidence is what 2011 is all about.

Never be afraid to make a statement

The devil is in the details
