what’s the best way to incorporate neons into a color-phob’s wardrobe? pairing it with tan. pretty, huh?

this morning i saw these vintage kantha quilts on pintrest and i fell for them. hard. the mix of pattern and color is spot on and i really love their subtly-muted quality. wouldn’t one of these beauties work perfectly at the end of a bed, or thrown over an over-stuffed chair? hell, i’d make a wrap skirt out of any one of these prints.
* UPDATE: thanks to Desi at Law of Attraction for sending me the link to West Elm’s Kantha throws. Only $99!
gold is my favorite way to amp up the glitz factor. i like my gold not too brassy, but not too dingy. a perfectly bright hue adds elegance to white, drama to black, and might be the single best complement to wood.

black, red, and a little bit of gold. some of my favorite products inspired by the classic palette.

shades of coral + fuschia with accents of cobalt blue and black. a gorgeous combo.

peachy tones with shades of light gray to charcoal… this palette is quickly becoming one of my favorites. a lovely color to compliment your fall basics, no?

yellow, black and beige is one of my all time favorite color combos. i love the contrast, the cheeriness, the vibrancy, and the way it makes my dark hair pop. i really love that couch, but i think a bright yellow scarf might be a more affordable way to add a yellow into my life, don’t you think?

it’s a little drizzly in the twin cities today and i have to say, i really don’t mind it. the light gray sky makes everything so soft and monotone. so in honor of my favorite kind of day- a few things soft, sheer and lightly gray.

i love these two colors together, yet i don’t think i own one thing in either shade. (well, i think i have a bright pink clutch that sat in sticky pools of beer on bar tables in college, so that doesn’t count.) nonetheless- these two colors were made for each other! wouldn’t this be such a pretty color palette for a june wedding?
