Loving the jewel tones that play a huge role throughout the J.Crew September catalogue shots. Also think The Romantics photos are very cute.

These new M.A.C nail lacquers seems to go well.

Orange you glad that Orange is in...

Peach. Tangerine. Marigold. Apricot. Pumpkin. The many shades of, the now, very stylish orange. For the past year (at least) I have loved orange and when I saw it featured in the August issue of Vogue I got excited! I always think of orange is very refreshing. It is one of the few colors that I like every shade of it. Tell me your thoughts about orange.

Cool Blues & Browns

Looking out the windows of my house I see a vibrant green landscape and mountains, fields full of wildflowers, piercing blue sky and wisps of frothy clouds. This set of images is no less than the exact opposite of all that. In these photos you see flat land, gray sky, barren fields and leafless trees. Though not directly stated in each photo I am able to feel the crisp chill in the air and the grayness of it all. The deep-cool blues  paired with the biege of the fields and the brown of the twigs is such a calming combination. The idea of fall excites me, a time to get out your sweaters, eat hot food and play in the cornfields. If you are like me, enjoy dreaming about cool weather!

White

White is an amazing color, well the absence of color actually. Its variations are endless and it goes with any color. If you follow 'the rules' of fashion you know that after Easter you are allowed to wear white so I thought I would post about it. Lately I have been finding that I am drawn to things that are white and when I examined all of my favorite things I realized that most of them are white; dresses, nail polish (strictly for the toes in my case), painted wood floorboards, wicker, hydrangeas, tulips, cardigans etc. I also like the idea of all white bedding with variations of texture and dimension. Below are items in white that I like best and rooms that use it best.

Taupe Nail Polish

Taupe nail polish is beginning to become very hip. People love it because it can be earthy and neutral or glam. Taupe can be paired with any color pallete, wether its pretty pinks, beiges, teals or greens it will still look amazing. One of my favorite colors isOPI Over the Taupe. This is what Instyle magazine had to say about it: "An amazing works-on-every-skin-tone shade: It gives pale skin a beautifull milkiness- and on darker skin tones, it becomes an elegant, glossy neutral." A brand called RGB makes a lighter, dustier color called Toast, it's beautiful and creamy.  Chanel has just come out with a new color named Particuliere. This is apparently Chanel's Spring 2010 runway color, and if Chanel likes it then you know it has to be nice! Please let me know if you know of any other nice taupes! -J

Mint & Cream

I have not always liked the color mint green. For awhile I steered clear of what I thought were 'pastel' colors, but then once I realized that mint was much more than that, I loved it! Mint can be soft and soothing or bright and vivid. Mint; a perfect mixture of bright green and teal looks best (in my opinion) with cream or charcoal.
