I love white. I love wearing it, I love it in homes, I love seeing it in photographs, I really just love it. White is clean, fresh, refreshing, airy, and light. So, if I am this drawn to it, why do I find myself in dark colors? My bedroom is a midnight blue, a majority of my closet is black, and I love dark nails. I preach for the love of white but actually only practice in all things dark. Okay so that sounded morbid but really, I love dark! I think in theory white sounds amazing but I love a little color in my life. I need a little color in my life. Yes white is all of the aforementioned but when it comes down to actually living and breathing it – isn’t it a bit vanilla? You know, a little too sterile? I think there is always a place for it in your life but a girl needs some color!
If we are talking in color, I am definitely more drawn to darker hues. They feel comfortable, cozy, chic, and daring. So instead of a home or wardrobe in white, which is aspirational, I am sticking to my darks. At least for now! And luckily, I have found a new boutique where I can have it all. I can have my dark now and save the whites and brighter colors for later (shall I ever change my mind). This new place is oh so inspiring and has me dreaming in color combinations. My favorite right now? Dark, dark green! Isn’t it just luscious? I could wear it, live in it, and decorate with it. While I can’t share the name of this new boutique yet, I will spill the beans soon (and in a BIG way) but for now just know, they are changing the beauty scene! I was able to preview the colors early so I can’t wait to share more! I hope you all like what I got cookin…

Yess! I love emerald! It’s one of my favorite colors to wear. I just picked up the prettiest dress from J.Crew in the color : )
