A Striking Cobalt Blue

I'm completely ecstatic about my trip to Hawaii next week, and I'm particularly obsessed with this shade of blue that represents the brilliant water of the Maui beach...

Pops of Bright Crimson

Red? Imagine that bright color seen in a ripe apple or a juicy strawberry...I want to share these charming rooms from Elle Decor incorporating bright crimson in the furniture, accessories or bedding, adding that extra oomph to the room.

A&F: Blues and Whites

On a beautiful spring day, it's usually cool in the mornings with a gentle breeze and fresh, crisp air, which reminds me of the classic combination of blue and white portrayed in these lovely spring looks.

Color: Aquamarine

It's been a while since my last post. Life has been very hectic and I've had barely any time to post. But, I am back now with a few pictures of one of my favorite colors - casual and beachy blue that can also look classy and elegant like in the dining room below with the blue-glass Murano chandelier and blue leather chairs. 

The aquamarine upholstered bench at the foot of the bed brings in a bright note to the calm, white bedroom.

Color: Fuchsia

Fuchsia is a shade of pink that is very feminine and bold- I have always loved this shade of color. It's energetic and fun and also has an element of elegance to make a place look sophisticated. These are small pops of fuchsia to a mostly neutral color palette.

Color: Opalescent Color Palette

 I saw this beautiful color inspiration palette by Martha Stewart, called Opalescent. Opalescent is an interesting concept- different shades of the color can be seen when the amount of light varies. In this case there are lots of pale pinks,  purples and yellows. The delightful little goodies like the candy boxes and the pyramids are perfect for a ladies event!

Color: Melon

Melon is a vibrant color that you cannot overlook. With a single graphic pattern, it sends a joyful vibe throughout the room. You can feel the energy of the color in the the contemporary furniture!

 

Here, is a Chloe dress, dvf scarf, Kate Spade bag and bracelet- which I adore, and Sigerson Morrison shoes. The Kate Spade bracelet is made of delicate pearls along strands of gold.

Turquoise Chic

Turquoise is a bold but soothing color and looks great on accessories. I especially love the gold plated bracelet and the pumps. Also on the design board is the Calico Juno earrings and the Calypso scarf. Such gorgeous accessories that will add flair to your wardrobe!

Color : Cocoa

These cocoa pieces give an elegant casual look starting with the Capannina dress, the Elaphe snake handbag, the crystal headband and my favorite part, the sandals!
