Creamsicle Clothing!

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I have been seeing a lot of bright coral/orange clothing on folks recently and a lot of neutral, specifically white, clothing. Two opposites, but both make a visual statement and both scream summer. Kinda like how we scream for ice cream.... Creamsicle ice cream...

...OK, reign it in, lady. Anyway, here are a few of the orange and/or white looks I have noticed lately:

Rachel McAdams makes white look sassy:

Doutzen Kroes has the height and frame to pull-off the bold orange:

This white dress makes Rachel Bilson look even more sweet and petite:
And, zinger!, Zoe Saldana makes a bold statement in a creamsicle gown:

How do you feel about the color combination? Which color do you gravitate towards in the summer?

Orange You Glad?

Rather than do another awkward, self-photographed outfit post, (yikes!), I decided to focus on decor and furniture shopping. Orange you glad about that? I am too funny ;) For couch shopping, it was really hard to find a couch that suited both our needs (he needs a big couch because he's a big guy and I wanted a couch that wasn't over-stuffed and depressing) but we came out okay:

Sorry for the bad lighting, but we don't have any lamps yet!
Also, the pillows came with the couch.....they will be changed! ;)

The new brown chenille couch is cozy and delightful, but such a big, dark piece of furniture needs some brightness to balance it out. I naturally gravitate towards blue because it is a favorite color, and orange would be a great third color to add some pop to the room. I think I have already made it clear that I like abstract prints in bright colors (that post here), so I am sure you won't be surprised when you see what oranges have been inspiring me:








Any suggestions for what to do with the giant brown couch? What is inspiring you this week?
Happy Monday!
