Favorite Finds Under $30: Teal + Citron

For my own mental health I intentionally avoid reading or watching the news, but even still I know the economic state of the US isn't optimal right now. Instead of letting it bum me out, I decided that I'd use it to inspire a new weekly series here on Creature Comforts: Favorite Finds under $30!

For my first one I selected pieces in a palette of teal and citron; the perfect gateway colors between Summer to Fall. What do you think? Do you want to see more Under $30 posts or should this be a one-time thing? I'd love to hear your thoughts. xo Ez

Color Crush: Capri Blue, Gold + Cream

I started this color crush post a few weeks ago but somehow it got lost in the shuffle. Fortunately I rediscovered it early this morning and am still completely enamored with this cheery shade of Capri blue...especially when it's paired with gold and cream. What colors are your crushing on today? xo Ez

Color Crush: Black Gold

I know...Summer is still in full-swing, but I couldn't help but notice the overwhelming number of faintly fall-like black and gold pretties that I've been bookmarking online lately. Maybe it's my heat-weary mind trying to find whatever relief it can...the promise that Fall really will come again (despite the seemingly endless 100 degree weather). Whatever the case, maybe you too will enjoy indulging in a little black gold love with me today. I hope so. xo Ez

The Bowed and the Beautiful

This entire post was inspired by this whimsical art print created by Amy Borrell of Cake With Giants. I simply love the idea of wee little Australian birds flitting around in vibrantly colored bow ties. Doesn't the thought just bring a smile to your face too?
