Cool oceanic blue and warm, full–bodied tangerine.
Good morning! I hope that you have had a very full and wonderful weekend. Mine was quietly spent indoors for the most part, with a little work, and catching up on reading and movies that I have been longing to watch for quite some time. While listening to the soundtrack of "A Good Year", I could not wait to share some of my favorite inspiration with you, from 18 Karat. Both strong and fragile textured pieces come together to create a warm, clean and striking environment. I find that orange is such a color of energy, of creativity, and is perfect, paired with such an intense blue. For more inspiration on a similar scheme, visit Odi et Amo—Averill has put together a wonderful post—a must read!
Also, as tradition would have it, I have a mix of finds to share with you: a wonderful book exploring texture and nature / my favorite soap of the moment / I find every inch of this editorial so splendid + fascinating / a dazzling, bead + crystal embellished jacket / library inspiration + classic hat lamps (that I have adored for about 10 years) / a lovely lace dress with a great hem / fabulous laptop + travel bags / and, lastly, the cutest, really the tiniest macarons I have ever seen...
