all about orange

STILL loving this color. And just to prove it to you, not that you really need proof, but really just for fun, here I am in one of my recent outfits. This is me saying hello to you, decked out in orange from top to toe. In fact this entire outfit except for the headband is from the gap...you see why I’m campaigning to be their model :). Not that I usually wear clothes from all one store, all at the same time ~ you know it’s more fun to be eclectic with fashion by mixing it up ~ but this particular outfit just works and I highly recommend it for the summertime, especially this light and airy cotton ruffle skirt which comes in a whole variety of great colors.

Then, my favorite new bag that I had been stalking at Anthropologie for months now and finally decided that it was time to come home with me. I mean really how can you resist such creativity in a bag, down to the pretty pink flower lining inside.

And finally, my favorite new bowl, an addition to my growing collection of these fun "latte" bowls from once again, you guessed it, Anthropologie. Yup, I eat blueberries and yogurt (and any other food that fits) out of it just about every day ~ and that navy blue, orange and white color combination, also featured in the above bag ~ let’s just say you know that color combination will probably be showing up in a painting soon.

I fully believe that it’s important to surround yourself with what inspires you most, that and it’s always fun to share some of those things with your blog readers too :). hope you’re having a good Wednesday!

I think the earth has put an orange hoax on a bunch of us. I have never cared for orange, then suddenly all I want to buy is orange stuff. My toenails are also orange, and I always want bright pink on my toes, but not this summer. All I want is orange! Can you explain this strange phenomenon??? :) Enjoy your very orange day!
Oh, for the love of Orange! I would LOVE to have an orange bowl like that. Orange has so many shades, all of them sweet, vivacious and joyful. To be surrounded by orange is a wonderful thing. And hurrah for blueberries and yogurt! Now that blueberries are plump and plentiful I'm eating them every day too. I always love your posts, and I'm so happy to hear about your children's book.
Hello there. You know what? Orange has been my favorite color since I was a wee thing. When all the girls were all about pink, I was all about orange. Drove my Mom crazy for a room painted orange...I never won that battle by the way. Now I have orange bedding though! Thus my cool e-mail address and etsy username! artsyorange is so appropraite for me. So I Love your orange skirt and little toes. PS.....So excited to get my Olive book! I've been working on illustrations for my own, so I hope you podcast about the publishing in's and out's soon! I'm all ears!
