winter blues and colorful hues

I know we’re in the heart of winter right now, but I’m craving color. I’ve said it before that I’m a color person. I have plenty of neutral shades in my closet, and of course, I have the necessary black pieces that I adore, but I do love color. When it’s cold and rainy out, I can’t help but get a case of the winter blues (and I know I’m down south so I really can’t complain that much about cold weather). Color instantly lifts my mood, and while it may be jacket and boot weather, I still throw in color any chance I get (hence the pink tweed blazer I wore to my birthday dinner on Monday night). Accessories are always an easy way to throw in that touch of color if you still want to keep the rest of your ensemble a more neutral, winter-friendly palette. I’ve rounded up some of my current favorite colorful accessories below.

wish list

And the weekend is upon us. I’m heading out on vacation Sunday, and I have to admit, I can’t wait to do nothing but sit on a beach for 5 days. I am going to try my absolute best to not turn on my iPhone, and to strictly use the computer for blog posts and any urgent emails, but we all know it can be rather hard to ‘disconnect.’ But I will certainly try.

I think everyone is entitled to a ‘wish list.’ You know – those few things that you want to buy immediately, if not sooner. My current list ranges from nail polish to an egg crate (yes, an egg crate)…

 

1. Nars ‘Thakoon’ Nail Polish

2. Bensimon Sneaker

3. Sobral bracelet

4. Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Bag
