I’ve been obsessed with spring colors now, vibrant greens, luminescent yellows, ocean blues, rich purples, and most especially my very favorite color, teal.
I found color inspiration in an unlikely place, a little 2$ children’s book we bought for Miss P at one of the antique stores by the ocean. It has all the farmer’s market vegetables featured, (P is for Persimmon, didn’t you know?), in beautiful, rich hues. It was created in Mexico and published in San Diego. Local and inspirational–it makes me want to cook (or eat!) and to design outfits all at once.


F should always be for figs.
And then there is teal at the ocean, of course. I couldn’t believe the colors last Sunday. This is where we sat, pre heading to our favorite breakfast place for eggs benedict and bloody mary. And they don’t mind we have our little girl happily in tow! No bloody mary for her, of course!

Finally, as always, there’s Etsy. I just bought a necklace from MarloNoel‘s lovely shop. Mine is more a blue grey (another color I adore) than teal, but oh the beautiful teal on this aptly named Blair necklace.

It’s like staring into the waves.
