Color+Inspiration: Crayola Taupe

Ludmila — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:58 +0000

I have the feeling that even though tangerine was named the color of 2012 we’ll be seeing a lot of nude and I’m pretty sure taupe will be among the trendsetters this season. And not every taupe nuance, but crayola taupe which is close the Chanel Particuliere, you know the nail polish? It’s just as soothing as pale pink/peach is (less feminine perhaps), but it’s so much more modern in my opinion – I guess I’ve seen a lot of soft pales lately. Earthy colors will always be a good alternative to any color, so while we’re at backups, let’s make the best of them! Yay for taupe!

Color+Inspiration: Magenta

Ok, this must be a color+inspiration week. Not sure what has gotten onto me, but today I’m blown away by another color – magenta! I know some people call it fuchsia, others even pink, but I’m all for calling it this sophisticated name (it’s also cool and stylish, right?). Here’s my color+inspiration post for this sunny and hot Friday! Enjoy!

Both interior and fashion industries have taken on this color, so I predict a huge trend in the near future. Are you a lover or hater of magenta?

P.S. have you heard about #stripemania which is organized my two lovely friends, Holly and Igor? Hop on here for details and join us right away!

Color+Inspiration: Tiffany blue

Good Monday morning! Hoping that you all had a fabulous weekend, will kick off this week with a color+inspiration post and just so you know for the past few days I was inspired to no end by a very bright and lively shade of blue: Tiffany blue, the color of the famous Tiffany & Co. Probably I don’t need to explain much why do I love both the color and the company, I just do and am pretty sure I’m not alone. Here’s some Tiffany blue inspiration:

A quite delicious color if I say so myself. I’m particularly attracted by it now when we’re closer and closer to spring as in my book spring + Tiffany blue make for a pretty perfect combo. What do you think?

Color+Inspiration: Coral+Green

And we met again, my friends! After yesterday’s news I understood even better how important is to have you all and how much your support means to me, I can only be eternally grateful for all the tweets on Twitter and comments and thank God I’m blessed to have so amazing readers! On another note, today on creamylife’s Facebook page I posted this picture which inspired me to write my today’s post, asking if you can guess what is it about. And I got suggestions, though nobody guessed that I was smitten by the lovely, live color combo on the package which afterward guided me to put together this color+inspiration post. So now I’m absolutely in love with coral and green in all their shades (from pinky to peachy coral to mint, apple to pale green – no limits!) and if the below pictures feel too chaotically chosen, think better about the abundance of color ideas you can get!

What do you think about this combo? Doesn’t it shout freshness and warmth at the same time?

Color+Inspiration: Black cherry

Mm, black cherry…Sounds so mystical, doesn’t it? I like this color most of all on my nails. I’m using black cherry nail polish for some time already and I’m absolutely in love with the way my nails look. I recommend you to try! But black cherry is good not only on nails, here is some inspiration.

What do you say about this color?

P.S. You know, it was kind of difficult to find black cherry themed pictures, is this such a rare color?

Color+Inspiration: Yellow

Hello friends and Happy Friday! Soon we’re stepping into the weekend time, but not a regular weekend, A Valentine’s day one! Are you having any special plans for the day, a party or a romantic dinner? Anyways, I wish you to have fun and enjoy each second of the V-Day!

Today, I’m writing again about colors that inspire me and guess what, today my favorite is yellow! Why? Aw, because it reminds me a lot about sunny weather and warm days and I miss this so much! Outside it’s snowing with huge snowflakes (and I really mean it, the snowflakes are like some golf balls!) and now more than ever I’m dreaming about sun, beach and cozy summer dresses :).

Love everything that’s yellow, the shoes above, the clutch, the first dress, I just love YELLOW!

Color+Inspiration: Red

Hello everyone! Didn’t post anything today, missed you all a lot! Actually, I was meditating, trying to get inspired of something :). I did get inspired by… guess what?.. colors! We all love colors and color combos, that’s why my goal is to spread some colorful inspiration every day (at least I will try)!

Today I’m inspired by red and you’ll definitely understand why. You know, Valentine’s Day and all that romance…
