not black

Maybe it's these gorgeous aerial photos of tulip fields in Holland, or maybe it's just the increasing presence of the sun, but suddenly color is looking mighty appealing. Especially when it's been worked so seamlessly into casual-chic outfits like in the photos below. Is it possible to be equally smitten with vibrant bursts of color and muted, pale shades of grey and pink at the same time? Sure, why not.

I hope everyone managed to watch the hot tranny fierce-ness that was the season premiere of The Hills. Sometimes, it's so hard to imagine life without this show that I'm afraid for my sanity. 

Useful factoid of the day: did you know you can use mayonnaise to get the sticker-goo off of glass and plastic? It works better than Goo Gone, in my opinion. Try it the next time you're struggling to remove one of those godawful perforated bar code stickers.

  1. There's actually a product called Goo Gone? Thats amazing. I'll definately try the mayo trick! I want to see those fields for real!! So so pretty... and those brights look fab with the neutrals - they are made much more subtle, but still look great! :) x

  2. I love color as well this time of the year. I can't stand the girls on the hills. I tried watching it once and I literally felt my brain deflatting. I say that but I watch Rock of Love Whore Bus so I guess my brain deflates to that instead of the hills.
