Color Me {In the Navy}

Without fail, I would chose a neutral over color every time. If you were to give me the option between a bright shade of pink and a dark neutral, the later would win hands down. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than pairing a dark neutral with bold accents like colorful statement blooms or metallic touches. But above all neutrals, navy takes the cake. It's not quite as bland as your basic black and definitely has more flair than ivory or white. But, it still pairs seemingly with any other color. For fall, some of my favorite shades to accent it with include blush pink, garnet, and apple. Another reason I love it so much is that you can keep the same base and change the accents as you transition between all the fall holidays.

Have a neutral Monday!

Color Me {Blue Christmas}

While contemplating the holiday decor scheme we would be using this year, I had a sudden realization. I'm just not the traditional red and green Christmas decor type. While I enjoy it in other people's homes and while out and about, in my own house I prefer to follow in the word's of the The King (Elvis!) and have a blue Christmas. It reminds me of coastal holidays and fits in perfectly with my everyday decor. I have opted to use shades of sea blue, navy and silver to keep the spirit bright. I'll share images of my holiday decor once it's all complete, but for now I hope you enjoy this board of Christmas's by the sea.

What colors will you be using this year?

Color Me {Navy Blue}

Fall is a colorful time of year filled with reds, oranges, and browns. And, while those colors have beauty in there own right, I'm ready to take over fall and create a whole new chic color pallet for the season. I'm thinking navy, gray, camel, and burgundy are the perfect shades for a modern fall revolution. Navy has been one of my favorites for a while now. It transitions beautifully between all seasons and a wonderfully interesting neutral. It pairs well with other neutrals like gray, cream, and black but helps shades like eggplant, burgundy, and mustard pop. Which ever way you pair it, I vote to inaugurate navy into the fall pallet!

Color Me {Indigo}

Hi lovlies and happy Monday! I'm feeling major inspiration today from the classics. Whether it be old movies, timeless books, or a pair of blue jeans, you just can't go wrong with something that never goes out of style. Whenever I'm in a bind for design inspiration or the perfect outfit, I always reach for the staples like a little black dress, a pair of dark skinny jeans, or a nice sailor stripe. Well, today, I was feeling in quite a bind for the perfect color. Nothing was really inspiring me, until I began to think about my go-tos and realized that the unmistakable shade of denim indigo was just what I was hoping for. This dark shade of blue brings a classic casual touch to any event. Reminiscent of your favorite pair of blue jeans, the hue can be incorporated in a number of ways. You can keep it as the focal point or simply use it to accent brighter colors like yellow or pink. Either way you use it, it is sure to bring a timeless feel to the room.
