Pantone's Top Color For 2012: Tangerine Tango!

We all love us some good color... especially the new top color for 2012: Tangerine Tango,  a hue that "emanates heat and energy".  I have been seeing the reddish-orange shade used as a popular accent color and favored by designers. Pair it with super-saturated colors like hot pink and bold colbalt or layer with  neutrals for an understated but impactful pop. Keep your eyes peeled for Sephora's exclusive Pantone color collaboration coming out in March... think lips and nail color! Why not even try it as a new surprise color in your home? I'm thinking an accent wall or throw pillows...? Oo la la for this new shade!

Old to New: Spray Paint is the Answer

Spray paint is my new fix it. If I am bored with something in my house I have turned to spray paint. It is really amazing stuff and anyone can do it. Crackly ones, speckly ones, concrete looking, fluorescent, metallic... you name it. Turn something old and tired into your favorite new addition!

Listening To: Lake Street Dive

My good friend and singing partner, Pat tipped me off to this band who just ROCKS it. Somewhat akward in their ways, but I think that is the best part... you just don't expect such a jam squad. Check out their flava!

The paper krush ETSY shop!

Very excited to announce the opening of the paper krush etsy shop. There are only a few postings to get things started, but I am excited nonetheless. There, you will find an option to start a custom wedding invitation order, buy stationary and more! Check back often as I hope to post new items often! Visit the shop here. Wahhooo!

The ultimate challenge

For those who know me, I spent the majority of my younger years dancing... I caught wind of this Nike ad from a couple years back that is fantastic... interesting how they only launched it in Russia. Brings back memories of me getting reprimanded by my Russian ballet instructor... those were the days.

Keep Warm... and Pretty!

This lovely may have just gone to the top of my Christmas list. Check out the amazing Lemlem scarves here. The colors are amazing and though I could picture wearing any of their designs, I find myself drawn to the patterns with the unexpected pop of a fluorescent stripe at each end.

Ah... the workplace.

I was feeling this for Monday morning... Hilarious. Atleast it's a short week, right?

Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about

If you are like me and you see the new Warren Miller film every year to get pumped up for the ski season you will be happy to see this. Tuckermans is featured in this years' film, "Like There's No Tomorrow". If you have never hiked it, do it... and bring beer for the bowl. You may need it after. Don't ski or ride? It's just as entertaining to hike it and watch people eat it as they try to make their way down the bowl (myself included). Cheers!

Amazing.

I am constantly rearranging and refreshing the house whether it is working with what I already have or buying a new throw pillow. I am loving everything on this site from the patters and color to how they put a room together. It is aesthetically pleasing, yet you still want to cozy up. A couple of my favorites...

This color scheme is relaxing and lively at the same time.
(and I don't hate the poof in the bottom corner either)

Look closely at THE best quilt (see the fish?). LOVE.
