COLOUR STORY: blue + orange
There’s something about the combo of blue and orange that I’m drawn to. I think it has vintage je-ne-sais-quoi about it, even if it’s in a modern setting. Maybe it’s the high contrast between these two colours that are opposite on the ol’ colour wheel that sucks us in (or turns us off). I’m sure there’s…

COLOUR STORY: collections to make you green with envy
I’ve been into groupings and collections as long as I can remember. It was the theme of my final year end project in high school art class and I think it’s the main reason I love flea markets so much because they are full of them. If you come to my loft you’ll find a…

COLOUR STORY: pink + orange
Oh man, it’s been awhile since I’ve done a colour story. I couldn’t help myself because there’s just something so summery about pink and orange together. Such a bold and fresh combo that can look both cheerful or stylish depending on the hues. Doesn’t it just make you happy looking at it? main image /…

COLOUR STORY: pinks + greens
So I was on Pinterest the other day (shocking!) looking through my colour board and noticed a theme. It wasn’t obvious at first but I kept seeing pops of pink & green colour combo. Call me a trend spotter or just a pink & green lover but you can’t deny that these guys look great together…

COLOUR STORY: soft pink & black
via There’s just something so modern and chic about black and soft pink. It’s the ultimate contrast of soft and edgy. 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11 Doesn’t it look fab? I think it’s also a great way to add a bit of colour for those that love black & white are are hesitant to…

COLOUR STORY: emerald green
So I thought since we’re half way through the year that we should revisit Pantone’s colour of the year, and my personal favourite, emerald green. God I love this colour. The fact that it happens to look fabulous on this red headed green eye gal has nothing to do with it. Ok maybe a…

COLOUR STORY: baby blue
Ok, so ‘baby’ sounds so babyish but Robin’s Egg Blue just doesn’t have the same ring and not really quite as familiar to the masses. How about Budgie Blue?! I think it’s appropriate in honour of my inspiration for this post. Not only do I love budgies but I love a pop of light…
