Yay for lots of color!



I unpacked my souvenirs today, upon returning from England and found that most of the things I purchased are very colorful and fun. This just makes me happy!

Matthew and I didn't buy quite as many souvenirs on this trip to England, which is a good thing considering the size of our apartment, but I also figured that I'd just pick out a few things to post instead of posting a barrage of souvenir photos like I did a couple of years ago. It was kind of terrible and annoying =)



Macarons from Pierre Herme. I tried these in Japan and they were very good. So, when I saw them at Selfridges, I had to buy a few. And, they miraculously survived the trip back in one of the Dr. Who mugs. Yes, more mugs. arg!


Okay, well this isn't very colorful but I'm really, really excited to try it out. I love! chestnuts. What to do with it? I am taking any suggestions since squeezing it directly into my mouth might seem a bit boorish.


The craziest and brightest shoes I've ever owned. How will I ever manage to match these to an outfit? I can barely put together a decent outfit when I'm working with all black and grey. This might be a screaming disaster!


Since there was no way I'd be able to afford an actual dress from Fair, I bought this darling bag with a dress on it. It's just so pretty and fun!

You can squeeze it directly into my mouth! Then it is sharing, not boorish!

Also, I love those shoes. I'd wear them every day.

Hey Lynnea - You went to England? I'd love to see some photos if you have a chance...

Hi Julie! yay! that's right, when two people do something it goes from crazy to cool =) Thanks, re the shoes. I think they'll make a place in my life this fall.

Kirk, hi! yes, we went to England and it was lots of fun. We have a few photos that turned out so hopefully i'll be posting some soon =) thanks for your interest, you are so sweet!

Bright fancy shoes are perfect with a black and grey outfit! I can't wait to see them!

Lynnea said...

Christy, I think you are right. they are perfect with non color because then they stand out.

The shoes are lovely and I agree with Christy. Red is a perfect accent color for black and gray. Wear a crazy red scarf and you will be coordinated from head to toe. Please bring the shoes in December.
