Lately I’ve been looking at the world through rose colored glasses. I don’t know if I can give all the credit to Justina Blakeney and her #plantsonpink, (although credit where credit is due), but it seems that nature photos awash in bright pink hues have been popping up consistently in my own photo album.
Here are a few images taken on my favorite camera app on my phone, Hipstamatic. I like this app because of all various film + lens combinations that are possible, and using the shake-to-randomize feature which often produces unexpected results. Hence a pink Lake Tahoe.
The other method I used, in the case of the pink palm tree, is an app called DeluxeFX, which has a few false color options. I thought it had a pretty neat effect in this case.
I love the surreal and psychedelic quality and think it makes for great color inspiration.

Models may still be chasséing down the runway for the Fall 2015 season, but several color stories have already been carved out quite clearly. Despite all the controversy it has caused, Pantone’s color of 2015, Marsala, was quite popular this season and can be found across multiple palettes, both in starring and supporting roles. Aside from the Flamenco color story, this season’s palettes echo a decidedly earthy tone, which lends itself quite well to the romantically bohemian prints in which many designers have invested.

You may have noticed it’s been a little slow around the Aaryn West blog lately, thanks to a little something the stork delivered recently. It may be a few more months until we’re back at full blogging capacity, but in the meantime we plan to keep serving up our Monday Color Moods! Here’s a gold and green gem to get your week going!

It’s no coincidence that our Monday color mood’s tend to focus on exotic travel destinations. Who wouldn’t want to sail the beautiful blue sea rather than whatever their usual Monday morning commute entails?
