Jewel Tones are In!

Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2010


I came across some articles on the fashion world's hot colours for Autumn. Think rich jewel tones. They are absolutely stunning! So get out there and start shopping for royal blues, deep purples, rich reds and don't forget gorgeous green. The hot pairing for each of these colours is basic black - it really makes the colour POP!




Happy Shopping!

Favourite Blogs

Last weekend I was at a friend's wedding and was able to PAR-TAY with some good friends from college. The topic of conversation made its way to blogs and I promised to post some of my favourite blogs that I've found and read.

1) How About Orange - I check this blog about every other day, which is great, b/c that's about as often as Jessica Jones, graphic & textile designer extraordinaire, publishes a new post. She has all sorts of links and tid-bits about crafts and design.



2) This Mama Makes Stuff - This blog I check in with about once a week. It is well stocked with crafts and altered art (and clothing!) Carrie Lundell publishes this blog and, honestly, I don't know when the woman sleeps. She is a runner, biker, great mom and is CONTINUALLY crafting and blogging. When I grow up I want to be Carrie.



3) Things Your Grandmother Knew - I have to be careful about reading THIS blog. I tend to get sucked in, and read until my eyeballs ache. I don't know who manages this blog, but they are right up my ally when it comes to retro living and vintage chic.


These are, or course, not the ONLY blogs I read. I'll post more each week!
Enjoy for now!
Cheers!
