a rock-inspired color palette

While trying to think of a few rock puns, I took a 10-minute break to memorize the lyrics to "We Will Rock You." I can already tell it's going to be a productive day.

a sea-and-space-inspired color palette

What I love most about photos from space is that they always remind you of something on a smaller scale. Rivers look like veins...cities look like microchips...and islands look like slabs of marble or slices of agate. These rich blues mixed with bright aqua and yellow gold are just amazing!

a city-home-inspired color palette

This photo and its nostalgic color palette make me daydream. In my dream, I live in a quaint downtown neighborhood with a fun-colored door and window box filled with spiky green plants. (Hmm, not my first choice but I do love the green.) On Saturdays, I ride an adorable, vintage-inspired, off-white bicycle with a tan leather seat to the farmer's market where I buy fresh flowers and a warm baguette. I even have a dog trotting by my side, off leash and behaving perfectly.

Reality :: I live in a place where residents are currently getting excited about the completion of a highway that will connect us to civilization. (That's a true statement.) My bike is my mom's, from the 80s. It's bright yellow and it's called a Range Rover. (That's my favorite part.) My dog is a rescued pit bull that is scared of strangers and other dogs...so much so that we have to keep a 20-foot buffer around us (which makes us look very anti-social and weird).

a sea-inspired color palette

As I work on some navy and blush Save the Dates, this moody, sea-inspired color palette is on my mind. That deep blue is so rich and velvety...I love it!

BTW / Is anyone out there scared of swimming in dark water? I am. (I blame my overactive imagination.)

a sweater-inspired color palette

Summer used to be my favorite season...until we moved to Texas. I seriously never imagined living in a place where we'd say, "Alriiiight! It's only going to be in the mid 90s this week!" In San Diego, any day above 84° F is considered unreasonably hot. Ha, we were so spoiled.

BTW / I like living here...I'm just REALLY excited to wear the other 90% of my wardrobe.

a yarn-inspired color palette

This week's cozy and bright color inspiration comes from the shelf of Hill Country Weavers in Austin. I have yet to learn how to knit or crochet, but I'd stop in this store regularly (if we lived closer) just to look at the colors. Mmmmm.

a lagoon-inspired color palette

Bora Bora is home to the LAGOON of lagoons. From deep navy to light aqua, the breathtaking blues are endless. Andrew and I were fortunate enough to take a quick helicopter ride during our honeymoon, and I still look back at the pictures with wonder. Happy Friday!

On our way into the town of Amalfi, we walked through this quiet, colorful corridor built into the cliffs. The patches of pink and peach reminded me so much of rainbow sherbet!

BTW // I had no idea until NOW that sherbet only has one r. I must have ordered this flavor five million times when I was kid and never noticed.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it. Happy Friday!

a blueberry-inspired color palette

[pinit]

Last week, we went to The Peached Tortilla's first ever pop-up dinner at Stonehouse Villa, and it was amazing! The venue, décor, food, and beer pairings made for a fun night out, and we're so appreciate of the effort put into the event. Despite the fact that I hate being "that Asian girl who takes pictures of her food," I took a few snapshots of our meal (as discreetly as possible) with my phone. The crostini with blueberries over my striped dress created such a wonderful palette for summer. The crunchy bite of sweet & tart was delicious, too!

Highlights included the BEST papaya salad I've ever had and a handwritten thank you note for attending.
