cool tones

It is almost June.  Usually we'd all be moaning about the heat by now, but last night Husband and I actually had to wear our winter coats out on our date.  I'm not complaining though, I'm sure there's plenty of heat headed our way, soon.  Plus, I love that I get to wear all those spring layers that have such a small window of usefulness.  Meanwhile I've been pinning more subdued as well, cool, muted colors and comforting textures.  I know some of you are following me on pinterest, but I do like to curate a small selection here every so often as well.  And if you're not following me yet, get on it! Love to see you over there...

colors & textures

Every once in a while I like to share some of my recent pins, in case you're not following me yet over on pinterest.  Pinterest is one online addiction that I think is truly good for me.  In the midst of even my most hectic days, it slows me down, refills my creativity, floods my senses with colors, textures, tastes, and travels, all from the comfort of my laptop.  Are you addicted? Are we following each other yet?

(ps - if you're on other social media platforms as well, so am I! Twitter here, and facebook here.  Just saying.)

flat style

Clever, clever, clever.  We know the folks at Madewell are geniuses at making us want need their products; the styling is always so damn good that even if I don't like a particular item on its own, they make me think I have to have it.  (Which is partly why I'm constantly talking about them.)  And now look at what they're doing with their flat styling.  A little hokey, sure, but I kind of love it.  Also interesting to think we don't need to see the whole garment to get sucked in.
