Emerald City!

I just saw the new movie trailer for Oz and I am sooooo excited. The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies of all time (original, right?) and Wicked is one of my favorite books (and plays!), so it's probably not surprising that Oz is going to be a movie I actually go see in theaters. I digress, however, from today's inspiration ~ the vibrant color of emerald! I am born in the month of May, so I have a natural predisposition towards emerald as a gemstone, but I am really loving it as an accent color in decor right now. I'm not talking earthy, mossy green accents either. I'm talking about lush and energetic green. The kind of green that would make Liz Taylor proud.  Hope you enjoy!

City Lights: Neon

So, neon is pretty much everywhere right now. I just went into Nike to buy my dad a sweatshirt and I actually had trouble finding something that wasn't neon. I used to think the neon color palette was the worst thing in the world. However, I saw this girl (who I always thought was really cool) rocking a neon cross-body when we were out the other weekend and it stuck in my head. Apparently, now I like neon because I'm drawn to it everywhere. I am pretty close to buying my first neon accessory (starting with a clutch or a belt). I feel like the same goes for design when you're incorporating a trend; start small and see how you like it. It might just be the jolt your room needs?!
