The style of the 70′s has been influencing everything from fashion to music for the past couple of years. There is such a simplicity & softness that the palettes usually evoke, particularly with the desert-like nudes and fuzzy warm greys.

Color Theory ::: Black & Wood

Luster — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 05:27:10 +0000

Spring weather was teasing me this past weekend, so I had a much brighter palette planned for today, but then with a hint of snow this morning, and cold weather lingering, I think I’ll hold off and go for something more handsome. Classic black + wood is usually my favorite duo in a shoe – black leather outer with rich wood wedges. It’s such an everlasting combination in the home as well.

Over the weekend, I needed some new Moleskine notebooks so I picked up a set of 3 with Kraft Brown covers. While working on this post, I remembered a wood-grain stamp I have {similar to this} and decided to decorate the covers.

Color Theory ::: Indigo & Peach

There have been a few posts where I have covered color topics, but today I am officially starting a regular column called Color Theory based on color combinations. First up is Indigo and Peach, a perfect pair for Spring.

::: Rainbow revival :::

Luster — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:33:31 +0000

Maybe I am channeling the 6 year old girl inside of me, or I am just fed up with this never-ending snowy winter - but regardless, I am instantly revived looking at all these rainbow bright bands of color. Today is Groundhog day, and Puxatony Phil {much to my surprise} did not see his shadow. Hooray…I guess Spring is on its way!
