Palette Perfection ~ Fall 2013 Color Report . . .




You know I love that time of year when we get to analyze the trends and declare what is hip & happening for every season!  Fall's colors this year are vibrant & rich, with emerald still going strong, which I won't complain about one bit.  

I put together a bit of color inspiration to give you a few fresh ideas when planning your home decorating projects for the remainder of this year.  I have never really been a neutral girl, so the promise of all of these bright shades being readily available in accessories and textiles makes me positively giddy, of course.  Just take a look . . .

First up . . . EMERALD!!

Leave it to beautiful Greece to provide the inspiration for this gorgeous MYKONOS BLUE . . .

The last few years this fruit has been all the rage when it comes to eating healthy, and now it has taken over the fashion, design, & event world too!  Take a look at ACAI . . .

Nothing livens a place up like SAMBA . . .





Don't you just love a creative name for a muted orange like KOI . . .

Oh how I adore seeing a rich, deep pink taking front and center like VIVACIOUS . . .





And nothing compliments a bright hue such as Samba or Vivacious like a cool LICHEN . . .




Ooh, love the steely TURBULENCE grey . . .




And always one of my favorites is a nice, cool CARAFE (would look magnificent paired with Vivacious, don't you think?)




Holy smokes, that was a ton of inspiration!  I hope that got those fashion, decorating, & event planning wheels a-turning . . . there is so much dressing up and party throwing to be done over the next few months ~ a carafe & koi front porch for the fall perhaps? Photobucket

Wedding Wednesday: Glitter Me This, Glitter Me That . . .

Sparkly & splendid and the perfect touch to get you in the full swing of things for the holidays, these gorgeous glittery goodies make me so happy!  I am so very excited that glitter is back in the limelight, and simply cannot wait to find the perfect little cocktail dress for this upcoming holiday season!

But in the meantime, let's take this Wedding Wednesday to explore a trend that truly exudes all things vintage elegance, ideal for that urban girl who loves her some shimmery style!

First things first, let them eat cake, the sparkly kind of course . . .










My favorite cake table of the season, hands down (and a few more shimmery stunners) . . .







Not ready to commit to a whole cake or table of it?  How about a tiny bit of sparkle in your cocktails?


And don't forget your oh-so-vintage chic bolero, so timeless & 1930s glam . . .


Now a little of this can go a long way.  And done right and with the heavy and luxe sequined material, your special event will definitely read vintage city glamour girl!  Now, I bet that got you ready for the holidays, didn't it, you urban fashionista you?
