new color week!

now onto our 2nd week of color! when we started this blog, the sky was grey, there was snow on the ground, the river was frozen and everyone on the streets of Boston were wearing black and grey coats. This week, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, it's supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow, time to get in our spring and summer clothes! Which means it's the perfect opportunity to do a second week of colorful outfits. join us and send us a photo of your colorful spring outfit!

here are Monday's outfits! even eloise is in color!

range of colors

my lovely friends louise works for a Swedish textile company .ludvig svensson. When she needs inspiration she sneaks into their design studio. that's where she found all these colors that inspired her. tack louise!!

atmosphere of celebration

i went to see matthias sauerbruch (a principal of sauerbruch hutton architects) lecture the other night, and was so pleased to hear him address COLOR! i've admired this firm for quite a while, in part because they so often clad their buildings in beautiful, colorful, performative skins.

it made me SO happy when he likened building skins to clothing - and said that when buildings have colorful skins, or people wear colorful clothing, it not only lifts the mood of the wearer, but creates an "atmosphere of celebration" for everyone nearby. well said, mr. sauerbruch!

in that spirit, anna and i are going to embark on another week of colorful outfits - posted every day. hopefully we'll make you feel more celebratory ... of course happily aided by the newly GORGEOUS weather!

colorful walk

we went on a walk with eloise the other day and found all these colorful homes in our neighborhood.

easter eggs

I am so behind with this post. but even if easter is already over I have to share these beautiful blown eggs that annis, katie and I made for easter. lovely eloise helped out too, by keeping us company, and she was so cute in her scarf.

friday flowers

more springtime flowers - this time, anemone and hyacinth. love, love, love that these flowers are springing up in gardens as well as in our house.

erica

miss erica's lovely scarf / top / striped shirt combo. i love the ladylike flowers with the bright red and bold stripes! thanks erica :-)

springtime for annis!

first bulbs of spring, and beautiful hand-painted blown easter eggs! thanks, annis!

color in jackson hole

our men went to jackson hole a few weekends ago (and didn't get into TOO much trouble). they brought back these photos of some super colorful snow-goers. thanks guys!

rainbow umbrellas

a few weekends ago I went to Savannah with my beau. we found this fantastic little south african food place with rainbow colored umbrellas! I was lovin' it of course! A lunch to remember for sure.

more from linn

.....then she added color to her whole apartment. check out those great orange accents everywhere!and such a cute apartment too. thank you Linn!

lovely linn's colors

my lovely Swedish friend Linn has really taken this color inspiration seriously. first she bought a pair of yellow boots, that look adorable on her, then she organized her shelf by colors, which looks great. but wait, there's more......

grace's awesome brights

to inspire everyone for this weekend's spring-like feeling! my lovely friend grace sent in these artful pictures of her super colorful sneakers! thanks miss grace.

wednesday at work

on Wednesday, ALL the lovely ladies at my work dressed in matching pinks and purples. I didn't even ask them to! we looked very cute next to each other.
and today, I'm spotting Liz in bright red and Aashi in pink and green. Colors really can inspire!!

tuesday at work

the colorblogg is starting to inspire more and more people at my work. on Tuesday, my friend Liz, matched her red slippers with a red scarf and earrings. wait....there's more to come.

friday colors

Monday post, but these were Friday's outfit. My friend Aashi at work was in lovely turquoise&green, which contrasted my orange&yellow. And against our brightly colored walls in our office, it makes for one very colorful composition.
today, no colors. too much snow.

tuesday springtime

i looooooove flowers. and at $1.29 for 10 stems, trader joes daffodils are my seasonal luxury of choice for late winter (or as i like to think of it - early spring!). i thought i'd share the humble little flower arrangements i have in my house today. the beautiful red floral place-mats are a home-made christmas gift from my mother - how cute are they?!

tasty

these pretty oranges were noticed by caroline - and reminded me of how much i LOVE the colors of produce. part of why i love going to the grocery store! the weird looking fruit is dragon fruit, a picture from my trip to thailand. sadly, not nearly as tasty as it is pretty.
