Everyone has been loving the weekly color palettes so much lately, I decided to pull together an extra one this week. Behold – gorgeous shades of goldenrod, clementine and watermelon! Ok, I admit I am still loving the heck out of all shades of peach and coral. Here I love the richer, more saturated hues, …

Last week’s color palette was all about gorgeous shades of purple and today’s inspiration was drawn from vibrant, jewel tone shades of cobalt blue and turquoise. I love the elegance that comes from simply pairing blue with a heavy dose of white or ivory. The look can easily transform from preppy to casual to glam …
For today’s color palette I was really inspired by a color that I personally find somewhat daunting – purple! I think it’s so easy for purple to go wrong so I wanted to show it off in a really romantic, sophisticated way. I think the trick with purple is keeping the colors rich and moody, …
For this week’s color palette I was feeling something soft and romantic. Something with a touch of woodsy elegance, pairing rustic woods with the beauty of classic white roses and big puffs of baby’s breath. I love loads of white and ivory with shades of pink and green for a color palette that’s quietly elegant. …
It’s amazing to me how quickly the seasons change here in upstate New York. While we still have several blissful weeks of summer left, the shift in the air from July to August is almost always palpable. A couple of weeks ago we were melting in 100+ degree temperatures with incredibly high humidity and this …
This party palette is all about the fabulous vintage bicycle for me. I so wish we lived in an area that made cruising around on a cute bike possible. Here, navy blue plays nicely with happy shades of peony pink and deep orange for a combination that is both preppy and sophisticated. {top. Elizabeth Messina …
I always love sitting down to drum up inspiration for the weekly color palette. This week I was inspired by the prettiest shades of honeydew and watery blues. I’m a self-professed cool color girl. Hues that remind me of the lake and ocean always feel the most at home with me so I just love …
Rainbow inspired color palettes are very de rigueur of late and I have to admit to being a total rainbow junkie. There is just something so fun and nostalgic about bright rainbow colors and who doesn’t love the excitement of a rainbow after a rain storm? Today’s color palette is inspired by the rainbow with …
This week’s color palette is all about fresh, pretty color. Think a hopelessly romantic garden wedding with a timeless yet modern pairing of peach and green. Sometimes I just can’t enough of soft, understated elegance and today is definitely one of those days when I was inspired by classic beauty. {top. Fabio Bartelt. left. Charleystar …
A few weeks ago on facebook I asked readers to chime in with requests for color palette ideas and this is the second palette inspired by that chat. (The first one was all about coral and gray.) For those of you looking for vibrant, saturated hues of red, pink and orange, this palette is for …
If I were the swooning type (and let me assure you, I am not) I would definitely be swooning over today’s real wedding feature. What I can tell you is that I think I may have cried the first time I saw photos from Whitney and AK’s wedding, captured by the amazing Emilie Inc. Whitney …
With July 4th just around the corner I wanted to play with the idea of a summery color palette with an Americana feel that wasn’t necessarily traditional red, white and blue. I love how calming and breezy this color combination ends up feeling, like a good old fashioned weekend at the beach. In fact, it …
