Color Crush: Ice Cream Social

Okay, these might not exactly qualify as ice cream colors...unless your ice cream is on technicolor steroids, but I like the idea of these hues in a ice cream party setting, so the name stays. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling even more ready for Spring now. And we're in lucke...only one week to go! xo Ez

One Good Thing: Pantone Sweets by Emilie Griottes

As a blogger I am lucky enough to spend most of my days perusing a wide assortment of beautiful and inspiring things online. However, every once in a while something comes along that totally boggles my mind and practically knocks me out of my chair with excitement. These Pantone Sweets by Emille Griottes did exactly that when I discovered them on Pinterest yesterday (via Joy Yao, seen on Anthology Magazine blog). I mean wow...just wow! I'm practically speechless (and that's saying a lot).

Check out more from Emilie on her blog Griottes, and find more images and details about this awesome project right here.

Color Crush: Dusky Mint & Sage

My latest color crush isn't too far of a stretch from my constant obsession with anything aqua. But these hues of dusky mint and sage have a moodiness about them that I quite like. The dark brooding cousin of bubbly-natured aqua, if you will. What color(s) are you crushing on lately? Are you feeling these more muted hues, or are you pinning away for something a tad brighter? xo Ez

Color Crush: Crimson, Parchment & Ebony

This week's color crush is heavily inspired by daydreams of a vintage sort of Valentine's Day. The burst of vibrant crimson is just the right way to spice up a grey day...don't you agree. xo Ez

Color Crush: Black, White & Gold

It seems like every few months I have a repeat love affair with the classic black & white with accent color combo. So while my color crush is hardly original today, I hope you'll still enjoy the pretties I found to represent it this time around. If you're digging black & white too, then you might like to check out a few of my past color crush posts featuring the theme: here, here, here, here & here...or get some other color inspiration by browsing the color crush archives. xo Ez
