Splash of Color : Cobalt Blue

Although the pastels that are trending for spring are nice, I love bright cobalt blue in any any form.

Shirt is from Banana Republic. The necklace belonged to Mrs. Kirkpatrick, a family friend, and was gifted to me when she passed away many years ago.

Things I Love : Colors on Canvas

TIL : Redon's Pandora

TIL : Redon's Pandora

This week my mother-in-law and I visited one part of the National Gallery of Art. This painting, by French symbolist painter Odilon Redon, inspires me. Overall the piece is soothing and pleasant to look at but it is the abundance of color crammed into the bottom left part of the canvas that fascinates me.

Isn't is amazing how that works? I know being inspired by a painting isn't out of the ordinary but I keep coming back to look at those colors! It seems like perfection to me. What's the last thing that fascinated you?

Happy Sunday!

I love just about everything in Boo and Boo Factory's etsy shop. The colors, shapes and textures on all of her pieces are screaming to be worn. Perfect for the rocker in me.

Things I love : Beautiful Display Windows

Fall2011

Now that the seasons are changing it is a great time to walk around and admire the new window displays. I loved this one at Anthropologie in Georgetown spotted early Saturday morning.

Gorgeous colors, interesting shapes and full of texture - this display looks more like an art installation than a store display. It says walk in the forest to me! Wouldn't you love to be one of the creative minds behind beautiful window displays? Have you seen a display lately that's made you stop and take it all in?

A simple Google search led to former Anthropologie's former display coordinator's, Kate Pruitt, article on creating great window displays. So interesting! The search also turned up other admirers. Look at all these other beautifully photographed Anthro displays
