Color swatch

Maybe it's the approaching heart filled holiday that has me focused on red, but there is something about the crimson hue that makes everything feel vibrant without being overly obnoxious. It's a classic choice that makes me feel a little retro and gives my home a luxurious pop. A stack of books beside the bed, gold stamped jewelry cases, puffs of glittered balls, and some light hearted polka-dots have all inspired me to add a little of the color to my life.

  8. I totally agree with you about red, I am so obsessed lately! I just saw this spread in In Style featuring red pants and was so into it. I can't pull off red lipstick but anything else red I say bring it on. Love, A
