BLUSH // Here. There. Everywhere.

…still blushing…

As a follow-up to Monday’s post about Chloé’s Spring 2012 line, I’ve been further obsessing over blush. Last summer, my client Evolution Design Lab told me it would be the hot hue of the season — how right they were! I’m seeing shades of blush here, there, everywhere…

HERE:

A test shot from my shoot this week ;o)

 

THERE:

 

EVERYWHERE!

1. Yosi Samra ballet flats, $59 2. Joie Bellona blouse, $158 3. Chloé snake ring, $355 4. See by Chloé ruffled silk top, $270 5. Vince double-V cashmere sweater, $255 6. Alexander Wang Marion bag, $650 7. ASOS pleated skirt, $125.44 8. Current/Elliot pastel leopard skinnies, $198 9. J.Crew Martina patent wedges, $228 10. Tibi ruffle dress, $475 11.

    I’m having a major blush moment as well, ok it’s been months, but still, major! That blouse is incredibly pretty and yes, I love that unexpected shade of green ;)

    You are so right, it looks perfect with hunter green! Two of my favorite colors, but I wouldn’t have thought to mix them. I can tell by that test shot that your home pictures must be amazing! That one on it’s own is gorgeous.

    Yes indeed I love the blush! My showcase room encaptures that color! But it has not hit interiors yet as its hard to find fabrics! Yet. Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe I can get those jcrew shoes as a hue cue for now!

    Love, love, love blush, especially for spring. It just looks so soft and romantic. Can’t wait to get my hands on a blush pleated skirt like you posted and go do tea time somewhere!

    I do love blush, but sometimes I feel naked when I wear it. Maybe I’m just in dire need of a tan ;)

    SO looking forward to seeing your shoot!

    OBSESSING over those J.Crew wedges … I’m so fair so I always get nervous I can’t pull blush off but perhaps I’ll give it another go!
