Visiting the Nursery

Hello my dear readers! Welcome to my new reader(s) in Macau! How exciting to have you come by this page! Recently I was able to visit a nursery and was just transported, not only with all of the lovely plants, but really the ceramics. All the pots were sorted mostly by colour, and it was a lot of fun to look at.

This isn't a completely exhaustive look at all the photos I took on my little excursion, but being in these surroundings made me feel happy and at ease, and I wanted to share that feeling- if it can be conveyed through photos. 

Favorite colour!

Lemon-lime!

Shadows grow long... 

Banzai! Bonsai! (Hurray! Bonzai!)

Accidental shadow shot! Haha!

So good to get my hands on a nice camera!

High-fashion

 I could see this one pinned to the lapel of a Haute-Couture dress.

Draining dishes

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet... But some just want to be Sexy-Rexy! : p (I know; corny... still, I had to!)

Hope you'll have great time if you check out your local nursery. Thanks for stopping by! 

Gray Joy! or A New Favorite Colour!

Gray and ocean colours...

Hello all my readers! Thanks for coming by my little blog spot, and happy Thursday!

I hope you are all as filled with joy and inspiration as this week summer officially moved into fall. I know it's one of my favorites seasons, as has been since I was a kid in Massachusetts, stunned by the wonder of the turning colours of my world.

This would go great with a skirt I own!

And for the most part, I've loved those classic clothing colour choices as well. That classic navy peacoat than anyone can rock regardless of age or gender. Mulberry, burnt rose and siena-- anything that resembles a toasted sunset (that's a weird picture, I guess!).

But I have a confession: Ever since the second half of summer a new colour has filled my eyes and sparked an interest. Gray! Heather, charcoal, it doesn't matter. Nearly white? Nearly black? I'll take one in each shade! (No book references, please!)

Way too happy in a gray staircase... haha!

I used to see gray as the official colour of dirty sweat-pants and -shirts. I was only impressed if it was clean and fit well, in that case. But now, I see it as the delicate and subtle treatment of a milieu of materials. And I guess I have designers all over the world to thank for that, since they branched out and did as the pleased with it.

One way...

Either way, I'm ready to jump on this bandwagon, gung-ho! So if you see me rocking a gray T-shirt in an ironic way, or wearing my ankle-booties of envy, know that this is a little wink to one of my new favorite things I'm noticing (finally!) in the fashion world.

Or another... 

It makes a great neutral for bold colours...

Has there ever been colour, shade, or material that you never noticed you liked until recently? Feel free to talk about it in the comments below! 

...Or looks great in a monochrome context

Thanks for stopping by, and again, Happy Thursday!
