I don’t know about everyone else, but I am starting to get that warm fuzzy feeling of excitement for fall! I am ready for cooler weather, boots, warm lattes and a cool new shade of lipstick that makes me feel all festive and girly (even though I don’t even wear that much lipstick)!
I am not one to browse all the style blogs and read all the magazines that tell me what colors I should be using, but this year there is one color scheme, in particular, that won’t stop speaking to me! It jumps out at me in the jewelry section at Target, and screams my name as I’m browsing art for a client. I’m talking about dried wild flowers and pumpkins! A purple and coral sunset: Lavendar, Coral, Salmon, Blush, and soft Orange.
I, apparently, am feeling very romantic, flirty and sweet!
I ran across a line of giclees by a company called CHC Art, a company I use often in my design work. I couldn’t stop staring at the art– I absolutely adore this color combination!
Look at the gorgeous items I found while browsing Emporium Home for a project! Ball Agate Chandelier, and Amethyst Tray.
I can always find something I like at Anthropologie. This outfit and these earrings are exactly what I’m talking about!
Actually, I found this necklace at Target. I took a photo of it for blogging purposes, and then had to drive back the next day to buy it! At $21.99, how could I not?? I wore it today! I can’t wait to mix color-blocked outfits and wear this in the fall.
In case you’re on your way to Target already, why not shop for some makeup? This fall palette is actually by Lancôme.
If you have a neutral color scheme, why not jazz up your décor with pillows out of this Romo Fabric (Mariola Blush), and add some soft art & accessory color accents!
And here’s what I imagine this painting would look like, if you turned it into a room:
The cool blue allows the lavender chairs, and salmon drapes to really shine. Photo via Apartmentsilike blog.
Now, what would happen if you kicked the color saturation up a notch? Do you love color as much as I do? Try these schemes:
Who wants to go shopping with me?!? I’m ready!
