Color Me {Burgundy}

Well friends, the first day of fall is finally behind us. Instead of moping in the sadness of summer being gone, I'm going to look to the future full of fall fun. I've packed away the summer brights and pulled out the richer tones of fall. One shade I'm dying over this season is a deep burgundy red. It pairs beautifully with metallics and neutrals alike and I'm loving the idea of incorporating it into every element of my get togethers from cocktails to food to decor. It's especially magnificent when found naturally in elements such as flowers or pomegranates. You can even serve up a nice burgundy wine to compliment the color pallet. Burgundy has to be one of the best shades that translates well from backyard bonfires to holiday meals to weddings. Whatever your upcoming event may be, I hope you incorporate a bit of signature fall shade!

Have a rich Monday!

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 {Camel}

Camel is one of those fall colors that has always just seemed so mundane to me. The shade of khaki can appear bleak and boring when not done right. But recently, the soft hue has given off the appearance of freshness and beauty amongst the changing fall colors. It is breath of fresh air when you've been looking at shades of reds and oranges all day. Plus, when paired with deep shades of navy, gray, or black it is magically transformed from something that reminds me of sand between my toes to a timeless image of Jackie O. I can't wait to incorporate it into my fall pallet through classic pieces like a trench coat or as the base of a table piled with navy and soft cream accents. While it may remind me of summer vacation, camel is now a stable color in all that is fall!

Happy Monday!

Color Me {Hunter}

The fall is filled with shades of reds, oranges, and yellows. But, my favorite colors for the season are those that can't be found outdoors. Last week I featured eggplant, and today I want to talk about a hue that will pair beautifully with it, hunter green. This deep shade of green reminds me of preppy tartan and traditional living spaces. However, when paired with eggplant and cream, it's modern and beautiful!

Happy Monday!

Color Me {Eggplant}

So far, I am absolutely loving all of this beautiful weather. The temperatures have been amazing and the rain has been kept at bay. But, what I'm loving even more about this season than the weather is all the amazing rich colors. From burgundy to gold to orange, I'm incorporating them into everyday life in any way possible. My newest fall color obsession, however, is eggplant. This deep rich shade of purple is just what I needed. It's a breath of fresh air from all the traditional fall hues and I can't help but want to place it everywhere. Paired with cream and a soft green, it's light, modern, and wonderful for fall!

Have a great Monday!

Color Me {Harvest Apple}

I have to let you know that as I'm writing today's post, I'm staring out the window at the most beautiful day! It's the kind of Florida fall day that is warm but not humid, full of sun and clear blue skies. It's the kind of day that makes me so happy to be a Floridian. Fall days like this one inspire me to embrace all that the season has to offer. While apples are readily available all year, the best ones come right now. Autumn apples are full of flavor and the color is outstanding. The deep shade of red with hints of gold is a stunning representation of the season and I can't wait to use it in any way possible!

What's your favorite shade of fall?
