Tonal Tuesday: macaroon & marshmellow

My sweet tooth is aching for cookies, cotton candy & chocolate. Thinking fluffy pink clouds and sugar high. Laying in the grass at sunset, snacking on sugary things and staring up at the pink hues of dusk. Perfect.

Tonal Tuesday: dusty daydreams

These colors are for laying in fields & braiding flower crowns in vintage dresses. Wistful, a little dusty & worn but beautiful nonetheless.

Tonal Tuesday: float on a dream

Saccharine sweet & childish dreaming. Cotton candy, blue skies, green grass, yellow sun & vanilla ice cream. Children’s stories with happy endings. Perfect nursery rhyme color scheme.

ooh…headers!

Tonal Tuesday: Tart 'n' Tangy

Let’s combat some stormy weather with acid brights. I generally wear black, white & grey but have been adding bright yellow rainboots, my lime green purse & a hot pink umbrella to counteract the grey skies. Sort of like a candy bomb.

But gosh darn, this is stuck in my head!

modern love color palette for tonal tuesday

This is actually the color palette that we have going on in the office that my husband & I share. I, of course, needed to figure out how to wiggle some pink into the palette, most of which is over in my little corner of the world. The room is predominantly grey & red & black but with bits of pink; it helps balance out the girliness of the color with everything else. I’ll post pictures as soon as I manage to unpack my box fortress.

Despite the snow earlier this week, Spring is starting to roll into Chicago! And with all the birdies singing & the flowers popping, I’ve got candy-colored pastels on the brain. This color scheme has got me thinking about the dance scene in Grease; you know, when Frenchie looks like a banana? All those creamy, dreamy, frothy confections of dresses are dancing around in my head!

Visions of 1950′s kitchens with turquoise & pink appliances drifted through my brain this week. Added in brighter shades of the turquoise & added a splash of red to modernize the whole kitchy thing. I am in total lust vintage refrigerators. A girl can dream, I suppose.
