Color! A shock of neon. A dash of pastel against an otherwise white backdrop. The pairing of unexpected shades to make a wholly unique and intriguing visual image. I'm drawn to everything and anything colorful these days. Bright pops of color on rainy days. A sunwashed landscape in vibrant shades of green when only a few short months ago, it was barren and brown. Brightly painted nails that add instant cheerfulness to a monochromatic outfit.
Here are some beautiful, colorful images and things that I've been admiring lately:
This incredibly beautiful card from Rifle Paper Co. The shades of pink and blues and yellows and oranges are perfectly selected and work together like a dream. This print just evokes happiness.
A paint chip placemat! Such a great twist on ombre, in just the right shades of pink.
These cardboard shapes with geometric neon paint are mini works of art. I cannot get enough of neon these days.
I could not be more in love with the mint-colored Smeg fridge. The pop of mint in this pared-down, white washed space is unexpectedly perfect. My dream fridge in my dream space.
These nail designs! In these colors! I cannot wait to try this.
A beautiful print from Small Talk Studio. The little hints of yellow absolutely make this.
These beautiful DIY notebooks, from Eat Sleep Cuddle. Neon pink and gold color-blocking in a geometric pattern. Perfect.
This asymmetrical braid and bun combo is perfect. If only I could master a french braid!
This bedding from Anthropologie is the most perfect bedding I have ever seen. The geometric elements. The pale pink, shades of yellow and inky blue color combination. I've only just come around to the pairing of yellow and pink. This is an example of it done beautifully.
I cannot think of a more breathtakingly beautiful road to drive down. The muted colors and the endless mist that seems to go on forever. A beauty that is transcendent.

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend (if you're in the U.S!) Does anyone have any exciting plans? It's supposed to be hot, hot, hot here. I'm hoping to make some progress on some design work and hopefully spend some time with friends. It'll be nice to have a social life back after a few weeks of non-stop craziness!
Oh! I wanted to mention that I'm doing a little giveaway over at Lovely Little Things this week. If you'd like a new header design for your blog, definitely head on over and enter!
Happy Friday! Next week will be June. This could not be more of a clichéd statement, but May flew by.
