Some tees are plain, others are not. This American Apparel Unisex Thermochromatic Sheer Jersey T-Shirt ($34), is a far cry from plain Jane. Through the magical world of science, this tee will change different colors according to your body temperature. How fun!

The semisheer fabric is great for the warm weather and the price is nice; I think I'll take two. Didn't I tell you hypercolor is back?

Remember Hypercolor?

Emily Henderson Answers Our Questions on Secrets From a Stylist, Decorating With Animals, Fave Colors, and More!

It's no secret that here at CasaSugar we're big fans of Secrets From a Stylist's Emily Henderson. With impressive redecorating skills (check out how she redecorated Ian Brennen's house in the premiere episode), a savvy eye for flea market finds, and charm to spare, I have no doubt that her new show Secrets From a Stylist will be a huge hit. You can watch the first episode online here, and then tune into HGTV Saturday night at 9 p.m. for the next episode.

Even though Emily was crazy busy shooting the first two seasons of her show, she still took the time to sit down and answer some of my questions about her decorating style, tips for CasaSugar readers, and her new show.

CasaSugar: What’s one of your favorite projects you’ve worked on so far in the series?

Emily Henderson: It’s honestly super hard to choose from. There are some that I have more sentimental attachment to because I got close to them, so they stand out a lot more than others. One of them that I just finished was a guesthouse that I had actually rented from my friends when we first moved to LA, and seeing it transformed and giving them a new back house for their new family was pretty special. She was nine months pregnant when we shot the episode and ended up having her baby the last day we were supposed to shoot, so we ended up coming back for the final reveal a couple weeks later, and I got to meet the baby on camera. Totally surreal, but really special.

CS: What colors are inspiring you right now?

EH: Clearly I'm a huge fan of blue - indigo, navy, jade and French. All of them really, as well as ochre and aubergine. Or maybe I just like saying "aubergine." But I've realized more and more that while I LOVE those pages in magazines that are all white rooms with white furniture - they look so clean and fresh and sophisticated. For me, I actually want to hang out in a room that has a lot of color and pattern. The color palette that is driving me nuts in a good way is peacock blue and ochre, with a lot of brass accents. The combination of warm and cool tones is engaging and unexpectedly inviting.

CS: We recently ran a poll to see what animals people were interested in decorating with this year. Any animal accents calling to you? What animal artwork or decor draws you in?

EH: You know what's funny is that I actually have had to back off the animal sculptures. I love them and always have, but I started noticing that they were in every episode - all different of course. Porcelain swans (episode one), huge silver gazelles (episode two), brass deer (episode three), you get the idea. They are sculptural, come in many different finishes, and are so much more fun to style with than pottery, although I do have a pottery addiction as well. But as much as I love cats, I haven't gotten on the cat sculpture bandwagon yet, perhaps in 2012. Or maybe never. Cats and clowns I tend to shy away from, while horses I can't get enough of.
