Hiya, Friday. I am happy to see you, mi amore.
I was reading about Pantone's color pick for next year- honeysuckle. I alwayspictured honeysuckle being yellowy, but it's actually a lovely pinky/red- I
think it's a great color for hope, renewal, confidence, joy, and most of
all, lipstick. But I digress. Because my favorite color on all the earth is
green. I have always been obsessed with it- since childhood. Every toothbrush I have ever owned has been green. I love mint chocolate chip ice cream, as long as it has green food coloring a la Baskin Robbins. I l am ga ga over Scotland and its green moors a la Wuthering Heights. I worship Jamaica for its forests of green. I can't get enough, really. Give me green, and lots of it. Have you ever heard that early
That's why when I was thinking about my take on honeysuckle this am,, I stopped in mytracks while getting coffee at our local bookstore. The cover of
Town and Country had me mesmerized. Just look at Lake Bell in this amazing
Oscar De La Renta. The color of that gorgeous dress has me smitten beyond. I
adore this dress and this hue of green makes me giddy. There is simply no
other color that makes me feel so happy- it's lush, fertile, and alive. So
beautiful. Honeysuckle is nice too but give me green any day. (Just not for
lipstick...but for anything else, yes yes, oh yes). Cause that's what's up this green eyed Friday in the MIA. Have a great
weekend. XO
