A versatile tank from French Cuff Boutique

THE PANTONE COLOR Institute, the trend-forecasting and color consultancy, revealed its spring 2022 color predictions during the first in-real-life New York Fashion Week shows since the pandemic hit. The range of 10 bold colors and five soft neutral shades "bring together our competing desires for comforting familiarity and joyful adventure through a range of soothing and timeless colors, along with joyous hues that celebrate playfulness," a Pantone exec said in a statement. This week, be inspired by the "in" colors!


PANTONE 14-0850, "Daffodil" Yellow is joyful and makes you smile. This versatile tank can be worn three ways: Channel the '70s with a tie close to the neck, wear it loose or completely untied. $25 (was $75!), frenchcuffco.com

PANTONE 18-3324, "Dahlia" You have our permission to use this tote for your 9-5 and on the weekend at the beach. Tailored from a hand-loomed dhurrie rug, the stand-out purple hue can be found at AG Antiques in The Heights or in Rice Village at The Hive, A Pop Up Collective. $225, sapanadreams.com

Thrive & Inspire: ‘Results for Clients’ in Oil and Gas Drives Michelman & Robinson’s Varnado

Lauren Varnado, Houston Office Managing Partner at Michelman & Robinson, LLP and sought-after oil and gas lawyer

WHAT WAS THE highlight of 2022 at your business? That’s easy, launching Michelman & Robinson in Houston was, for me, the absolute high point of 2022 — and that’s in a year that included so many highlights. Without question, being named the firm’s Houston Office Managing Partner is and was a professional milestone that I’m so very proud of. That I’ve already been able to expand the office to 10 of us (and growing) and significantly move the needle in terms of the firm’s reach within the energy space is icing on the cake.
