Photo Love: Subtle colorblocking via Elle Indonesia June 2012

June 25, 2012

I love a little touch of color at home and in my apparel.  This editorial from Elle Indonesia shows that a  few contrasting shades of color can really make an outfit or a room pop.  Unfortunately I still rent, so I can’t paint walls at my current place (I love the concept of two tone walls though-what a statement!)  But at least I can more easily create color blocked outfits.  Remember that color blocking is pretty achievable with your current wardrobe – a few complementary colors in the same color family (cobalt blue with baby blue) or different shades paired with white all go well together; shoes or accessories in pop colors can go with more than you think!

Have you been color blocking in your home or outfits?

    Wow, I love the black, coral-inspired cuff in the second photo! I have not tried color-blocking with my wardrobe, but the trend seems here to stay, so I may give it a try soon!

    How pretty is this!?! I love the idea of two toned walls. I’d be so inspired.

    Hope your week is off to a great start! xoxo

    Nope no colour blocking in the home. My place is all white, it’s modern city living style or so I’d like to think.
