China Glaze Poolside Collection

YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINIVery bright neon yellow. A bit hard to work with, I had to do four coats. I think white polish under would solve the problem. Still nothing one can´t handle and the result is worth it. It really shines! SUN WORSHIPERA beautiful neon orange. This will make a great pedi color. It was also a bit harder to work with. But I expected that and again used four coats. FLIP FLOP

Sad weather calls for some sun

The weather is dumpy in Oregon today. I won't lie. I hate it right now and it's been like this for about 2 weeks. Matt and I planted grass a couple weekends ago when the weather was nice, and it still has not germinated yet! I think it is too cold!
I decided to make this sunshine headband in hopes that it would encourage the sun to come out. Please!

Quite Rightly

I wanted to finish this focus on mustard, a hue that seems to be a rather 'mellow yellow," with a round-up of images that feature this color paired with shades of blue-- a pairing that sounds like it could be very primary, but in it's execution, is anything but!

And because I used the word "swoon" in two of the three previous posts about this shade, the last photo in this group seems to be a very fitting close to this mustard mania!

A Room Reveals A Wedding {Soft Seaglass & Honey Mustard}

Because I've been on a bit of a mustard kick, I knew I wanted to design an inspiration board around this color, and as it's been quite a while since we've had one, I thought it time for A Room Reveals A Wedding post.

Today's inspiration room has an eclectic feel with both vintage and modern elements present; it features a bold splash of honey mustard tempered by soft seaglass and white.

The Room

House Beautiful

The wedding that draws inspiration from this room would utilize the same blend of the warm and cool shades with vintage and modern styling.

Colonel Mustard

Since I'm still swooning over the mustard color so prevalent in the photos from the Fly Girl post, I thought I'd indulge my craving by scouting out some current apparel choices in the same shade.

Although I have already have a skirt in nearly this exact hue, I can't help but crave more of this rich yellow; it's warm tone is perfectly suited for fall, while it's cheerfulness makes it the perfect companion for any cold, grey day.
