so, take one last look and make sure you didn’t miss anything! bday coming up? what about your mom? mother’s day is around the corner! or what about yourself for mother’s day? now that’s something i can stand behind!

turquoise, meet honeysuckle…

March 9, 2011

do you know about pantone?
do you ever wonder how certain colors seem to be everywhere and influencing everything? fashion, home decor, even nail polish and makeup…
did you feel like that about turquoise in 2010? (i still do! loooove turquoise)
well, if you know about pantone, it may not surprise you that in december of 2009, pantone officially named turquoise as the color of the year for 2010. and boy, were they right!
according to their website, pantone “ has been the world’s color authority for almost 50 years, providing design professionals with products and services for the colorful exploration and expression of creativity. Always a source for color inspiration, Pantone also offers designer-inspired products and services for consumers. For over a decade, Pantone’s Color of the Year declarations have influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries including fashion, home and industrial design ”

now we know!

well, guess what? there’s a new color in town.

i just love how these 2 colors co-exist so happily. don’t you?

and while they do look so lovely together, be warned turquoise… hot stuff is movin in! honeysuckle is officially the color of 2011!

let’s get to know miss honeysuckle a little better, shall we? she will be our best friend this year afterall!

and we can’t forget her:

we call her fuchsia, but she and honeysuckle? twin sisters!

i think this color is perfect for 2011.

full of life.

full of hope.

full of confidence.

full of FUN.

full of courage.

isn’t that how you feel 2011 should be?

welcome honeysuckle, i think i loooove you.

and in case you are curious, here is the spring 2011 pantone line-up:

ummm…yes, please!
while my spring colors aren’t exactly the same, i am happy to see some familiar shades;)
which is your favorite?

shop updates!

March 4, 2011

happy friday to you!!
a few things to point out to you dears…

first, thanks so much for all of your kind comments about the giveaway posts! so glad to help! and if you missed them go here and here.

second, hop on over to miss rachel’s sunny spot of the web for a {little} discount if you’re feeling the desperate need to spend your payday check and want to feel a little more justified. (what? that’s what i do…)

second, fuchsia is back in the shop! YAY! YAY! I am 99% finished with the switch to all kona cottons and was so happy to see fuchsia in the latest shipment. just waiting on one more silly color and the transformation will be complete!! muaahaahaaa… (that was an evil laugh. don’t know why.)

speaking of color? how about another little spring color for your friday? last week coral made a smashing debut! thanks for the great feedback!

if you are new here, you may not already know of my obsession for all things yellow.

so…
“hi, my name is jessica and i am obsessed with yellow.”

{phew. glad we got that out of the way.}

and what a crime to just have one shade of yellow in the shop! (even though you know my love for mustard runs deep!) so, today, the sun is shining, and i introduce to you:
