get your week off to a colorful start...

LISTEN.

• I've been a fan of The Band Perry since they played Roanoke's Festival in the Park back in 2010.  Their new single has a very traditional sound - Glen Campbell actually made this song popular in the 1970s, but TBP gives it a bluegrass twist.  I'm linking up with Musical Mondays at My So-Called Chaos.

SWOON.

• Loving this reading nook project at Apartment Therapy.
• A garden fete with a rich color pallete (Snippet and Ink)

FLASHBACK.

• Last year I chose my favorite styles from the Golden Globes along with hair and makeup, continued to work through Lara Casey's goal setting series by reflecting on what didn't work in 2013,
• Two years ago, Sunday Social was all about blogging.  I picked my favorite Golden Globes looks, collected ideas for bridal portraits, and shared my January blog loves.
• Three years ago I rounded up side braid hairstyles.

LISTEN.

• I didn't pay much to attention to Kelly Clarkson's Christmas album, Wrapped in Red, when it was released last year, because I thought it was all covers!  Thanks to Pandora and YouTube I've discovered the original tracks like "Winter Dreams," a sweet and cheerful Christmas love song Kelly wrote for her now-husband Brandon.  I'll be linking up with Musical Mondays at My So-Called Chaos.

SWOON.

• Three years ago, I shared my favorite things in our home. 

Peace out, Summer! Jewel Tones

Today I wanted to share another take on transitional summer-to-fall colors.  The jewel tones that are popular right now are amped-up versions of Pantone's Vivacious, Acai, and Emerald.  These colors are bright and cheerful enough for September, but their rich tones are a reminder that fall is on the way.  Wear them now, throw on a drapey cardigan or structured moto jacket when the weather gets cooler.
