loads of color

I love tons of color. There is a part of me that wants to live in the rainbow world that Lisa Frank created, but my reality is quite a bit more subdued. One of my coworkers told me the other day that she usually sees me in neutral colors, and I guess that's pretty true. I think one of the keys to pulling it off in your home or in fashion is to temper it with a more subtle shade--like the gray parts of the cardigan above. I love all the different uses of crocheted granny squares in these pictures. Makes me want to learn how to crochet!

current style crush

Her name's Eva, and she works for Italian Elle. She's so gamine and fresh looking. I love people who have a sense of play about fashion. Photos from The Sartorialist and Garance Dore.
