Happy Monday, everyone!  I figured since it’s the Monday after a 3-day weekend (which seems much more painful than a regular monday), I’d provide you with a little pick me up.  A little bit of pink should perk you right up.

Throwback Thursday to one of my very first posts from March 25, 2012… still one of my faves ♥

So, you want to add interest to a room, but you’re afraid of color… have no fear, here are some chic options that stick to a neutral black and white color palette.

 

Wallpaper is a bit of a commitment, but this one is just fabulous!20120325-225447.jpg

 

This bedding is crisp and clean, but still shows personality.

The oversized damask print on this chair is the right mix of fun and sophisticated.

This pillow is like adding abstract art to your couch.

Truly one of my favorite prints of the moment, this chevron rug is the definition of effortless chic!20120325-230314.jpg

Happy Friday everyone! Today we’re talking about one of my favorite colors of the moment… blush!  It’s such a soft, sweet color that’s one part girly, one part sophisticated.  Added bonus?  It goes great with gold!

Color Story: Neon & Neutral

Some color combos are classics… black & white, white & gold and the holiday favorite red and green.  Other color combos may have only a moment in time, but for that moment, THEY ARE EVERYTHING!

That’s what comes to mind when I think of the neon & neutral color trend. From decor to fashion, neon and neutral are having a major moment.

These days when it comes to color, the mantra is ‘more is more’. Multi-color pieces are popping up everywhere from fashion, to interiors, to clothes for tots. These vibrant pops are not for the color-shy, but if you’re looking to add some excitement, they definitely deliver.

Here are just a few picks that have me excited and ready to embrace the multi-color trend!

Any multi-color accessories catching your eye these days?  If so, please share!
