Bright Colors

COME AND KNOCK ON MY DOOR...


I've found myself recently drawn to colored front doors, seems they are everywhere these days.  While I do not have a colored front door here in NYC, certainly doesn't mean I can't dream of what color my front door will be one day, right?  It's been said the colors we surround ourselves with-in our homes, clothes, cars, or accessories-represent more than simply a color choice, but reveal a little bit about who we are as a person.  There even has been research studied on this very subject to determine what a specific door color says about the kind of person we are.  I automatically am drawn to red front doors anytime I see them, primarily because for as long as I can remember I've always had a red front door at my parents house.  According to color psychologists, those who pain their front door red are saying "that the home within is a vibrant place, full of life, energy, and excitement." Well, I couldn't agree more with that assessment.  So I want to know, if you have a front door that is painted, what color is it? Or what color would you paint your front door if you were going to?

CURRENTLY LOVING


I am loving this Tibi silk dress and had to share with ya'll since not only is this one of those dresses you could wear about a million times, but if you are feeling the itch to buy this gorgeous gown, head on over to Shopbop to take advantage of their latest deal. This is definitely a dress that could have gone in my wedding outfit inspirations from yesterday, wouldn't it be perfect for a summer wedding? Just the right pop of color and the perfect amount of skin showing, fabulous all over.  

On a different note, it's no secret that I love the song Call Me Maybe and this hilarious parody from Leno with President Obama and Mitt Romney is too funny... you can see the video here. Just in case you aren't familiar with the song, you can check out Call Me Maybe below:

NEON BRIGHTS!


 I am loving all of the neon pink, yellow and green that I'm seeing for spring and summer.  I'm in the process of setting up my desk/office area, and while I don't have the kind of space that I did in Austin, I certainly have plenty to work with and sure hope to find a spot for the neon Ampersand prints. I am in LOVE with those.  Also loving the Rag & Bone yellow cut offs, but a bit unsure what those will look like when my tan from Mexico fades, still debatable.  However you choose to add a little touch of neon into your spring and summer wardrobe, all are guaranteed to brighten up your day! If you have a favorite neon must-have that I missed let me know! I would love to check it out!

SPRING FEVER

Here in New York the warmer weather has got me itching for spring to be here (which as a side note happens to officially begin TOMORROW!).  I love all of the bright colors seen during the spring months and below is one of my very favorite tablescapes for a spring celebration.  I think it would be perfect for everything from a bridal or baby shower to getting the family together for Easter or a graduation party even.  Just love the chevron pattern in the yellow and the pops of pink with the mixed pink and yellow in the flower arrangements.  Think it is all lovely!
