At least once each year I like to head to London to look at colors, shapes and themes showing up at retail. It helps me clear my head of all the ins and outs of The Trend Curve's daily business to focus entirely on the future of trend. I always return with new thoughts and ideas—not to mention a camera full of pictures. I suppose I could really go anywhere to do this, but London has always called to me. I love the pace, the options, the style.

I begin my 2009 London journey today with a night flight across the water. While in London I'll be blogging as I see current trends, or trends in the making, so watch for updates during the week. I will also send tweets. Lately, I have been tweeting much more often than I blog. It's so quick and easy! If you haven't already found me on Twitter, you might like to know that my Twitter name is trendcurve.
