beyond the aisle: colors: almond

Tuesday, June 16

One of this summer's biggest trend is a tropical spin on safari-inspired colors: olive green and toasted almond paired with fun pops of magenta and tribal-style prints. It's a great place to start a warm-weather capsule wardrobe or vacation packing list!

Sunday Simplicity #63: inspiration for an April Fool's poppy wedding

Your soundtrack...

In college, I fell in love with Rufus Wainwright's music. I volunteered for the organization that brought musicians and bands to grounds for concerts, and Rufus' show in Old Cabell Hall is one I'll always remember because he was so funny and friendly. In honor of today's crazy holidy, here's one of my favorite Rufus songs, "April Fools." The video features Rufus and lots of classic opera divas, and the humor is just the right amount of twisted. Can you identify the heroines, and you spot the celebrity cameos?
