BLUE!  Without a doubt, this is one of the most universally desirable colors.

Have you ever met someone who didn’t like blue?  I have not. In fact, when I ask someone their favorite color most often it’s blue.  Crazy thing however, there are SO MANY different hues of BLUE: cobalt, ultramarine, phthalo blue, turquoise, cerelean blue, baby blue, blue-violet, grey-blue, navy blue– holy cow; so many BLUES!  What is your ultimate favorite BLUE.  Mine is grey-blue or maybe indigo or turquoise.  Ha! I can’t decide.

My favorite color changes all the time because I truly love it all.  As the seasons change, my favorites change as well.  I also couldn’t decide which art piece to feature so I chose two this time! Both of these paintings coincide with the indigo for different reasons.  It makes me happy that both pieces have gone to beautiful loving homes!

This winter ensemble was all about bundling up and finding a fun photo-op spot even though it was 10 degrees Fahrenheit.  Brrrrrrr.  I’m surprised my nose isn’t totally red considering the temp!  I’ve wanted a white coat for SOOO long and last year, end of season, I found this beauty on sale at ASOS.  Fashion tip (for men & women):  Good quality clothing at reasonable prices, fun sunglasses and hats on their online store!

Bundle up and stay warm friends!  I’m so hoping spring is closer than we think!  Cross your fingers and toes.

Cheers loves. XOXO
