Fall 2011: Orchid Hush Pantone 13-3805 and Quarry Pantone 15-4305

 

Here are the last two of Pantone's Top 10 Colors for Fall 2011! I almost didn't make it but alas I did, who cares if it's the last day of Fall/first day of Winter, right?! I cannot believe Winter is here! I think Orchid Hush Pantone 13-3805 and Quarry Pantone 15-4305 are  great colors to transition from Fall to Winter. Wintery, dusty blues always look just as great with a little glitter and a little shimmer as they do with cozy warm Fall colors, do you agree? Here they are and here's to a wonderful Winter and to a colorful 2012! Cheers!

Fall 2011: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! I hope you spent it with family and friends you love! I am thankful for so many things! Especially my wonderful husband, my family, my amazing friends and for all of our health and happiness! 

I still cannot believe it's the Saturday after Thanksgiving! Can you believe it? Can you believe how fast this year has passed?! We're a blink away form Christmas and New Years, I don't know where the time went. They say the older one gets the faster time passes by, it's a scary thought when you worry that half of your life might have passed:( Forgive the melancholy, I just got back from watching The Descendants, you should check it out, especially if you're in the mood for a good cry. I am in love with the headband in the photo above, I wish I could get away with wearing something like that to Thanksgiving dinner, too much? I did get to finally wear these earrings (in the photo above). I got them in NYC for a couple of bucks and absolutely love them! Have spent the weekend relaxing and spending time with family and friends. We are headed out to our friends house for homemade pizza and s'mores by the fire pit (I am so excited!!). Hope your weekend is amazing and long!! xo

Fall 2011: Deep Teal Pantone 19-4914

When I studied color while in design school I learned that teal was by far the most flattering color of all. It suits any lighting, every skin tone and makes everything around it look it's best. Besides how flattering it is, deep teal is also very sophisticated and classic, isn't it? I would say it's one of my favorite colors ever! Is it one of your favorites? Here is lovely deep teal in fashion, interiors, photography and shopping, just for kicks:)

Fall 2011: Happy Halloween

image via pinterest

I don't know why but for the first time ever I am not that excited about Halloween:( Are you excited about Halloween this year? Are you dressing up tomorrow? I decided not to dress up this year but I am going to visit my niece and nephew tomorrow evening to take them trick or treating so it'll probably really feel like Halloween then. 

So now that Halloween is almost behind us we're two shakes away from Thanksgiving! Yay! I think I will attempt to make this cake this year. But before I get all excited about Thanksgiving I will be focusing a lot of my energy into my sister-in-law's Baby Shower! Am in planner mode so now it's just a matter of executing the concept. Hope you have a great Halloween!! xo

Fall 2011: Phlox Pantone 19-2820

I've been obsessed with violet/purple many times in my life and while I'm not currently obsessed, I do think Phlox Pantone 19-2820 is quite lovely for fall. Very nice with gray and taupe and warm tweeds, violet can be very elegant and grown up when done right. Here are a few images of Phlox as well as a shopping guide in case it is one of your favorites;) So tell me, what color are you currently obsessed with?

Polka dot Black and White wallpaper via The Second Bedroom

I used to be a huge fan of polka dots! When I graduated and started working at my previous job they expressed a dislike to polka dots in design and as I became used to editing away the very idea of using polka dots, I kind of drank the kool-aid and stopped liking them altogether:( I've come around since then, but not like before...until now! I love seeing polka dots everywhere for Fall! I love leopard print so I'm always happy to see it everywhere too, but I'm totally surprised by how excited I am about polka dots! I am particularly in love with polka dots in black and white or off-white and navy and white or off-white. I have a few little items on my wishlist that includes this ring, this blouse, these tights, and this cardigan . Are you loving polka dots too?! What polka dot items have you bought/plan on buying for Fall? Here's a little shopping guide in case you need a little inspiration! xo
