Perhaps I should have some breakfast before blogging in the morning, because I can’t stop picturing plump cherries, plums and peaches when I gaze upon this week’s color palette. ‘Tis the season for bright colors and juicy fruit, I suppose. I hope all you lovelies out there are off to a tasty week!
This Monday we’re avoiding the cliche red-white-and-blue color combination, but only with minimal effort. While actual sea coral comes in a variety of hues, a special shade of orangey-red seems to be our collective favorite. It’s a rather complex color when you really think about it, invoking references to both fire and water. Deep thoughts on the duplicitous nature of colors.. that’s what Monday mornings were made for, no?
Here’s a warm and earthy color palette to start the day, wherever in the world you may find yourself this morning.
Inspired by this amazing beaded dress from Naeem Khan‘s Resort collection, today’s color story is icy cool with a sense of calm sophistication. Perhaps even a bit futuristic. I’m really not a fancy lady, but owning a dress like this would be a complete game changer.
Colorblocked pastels always make me a bit nostalgic for the 80s, but just add in a few Swatch watches and stuffed alpacas in sherbet hues and you’ve got yourself the real deal. These colors also invoke cravings for that amazing ice cream with all the swirly colors and big chunks of bubblegum. It’s been so many years since I’ve had it… can you still get that stuff?
