Polyvore creations!

Polyvore.com is such a fun website! (Plus, I recently discovered there's an app too!) These are a few of the collections I put together recently:








Colorful things

Today I'd like to share some amazing colorful things that I love!
1) The very colorful blog, http://colormekatie.blogspot.com/.
Katie always posts fun photos of quirky, colorful things she has made or done that day.

2) Illustrations by Hayden Williams.
Williams is an up-and-coming fashion designer, but it is his illustrations that are especially eye-catching! You can view them on his Facebook or Instagram page at "Hayden Williams".

3) The instagram accounts of Redbull, GoPro, and Quicksilver.
All three of these companies post fantastic shots, usually taken with a GoPro camera. Many of their photos are visually stunning, outdoor pictures. If you want outdoor action shots AND pictures of new clothes, Roxy's instagram account is great to follow as well.

4) Kate Spade's advertising campaigns.
Every time Kate Spade releases a new ad campaign for the season, you can be sure it will be one big pop of color! My personal favorite was the campaign which starred Bryce Dallas Howard-her red hair added even more color to the bright clothes. To see a slideshow of past Kate Spade advertising campaigns, visit this link: http://mylusciouslife.com/kate-spade-advertising-campaigns/.

5) Funny Face
The 1957 film stars Audrey Hepburn (yay!) and Fred Astaire. The film is about a photographer (Astaire) and his newest muse (Hepburn). The majority of the film takes place in Paris, France and features many beautiful, colorful photo shoots throughout the city. Audrey wears many stunning outfits, all designed by Givenchy, for whom she was a real-life muse. The movie can be described in two words: eye candy! Love, love, love it!

6) Polyvore.com
This website allows you to create collages of fantastic outfits you can put together. You can also view other users' boards for inspiration.

7) Peonies
Um, how luscious are these?





Live Colorfully

Today I decided to change the general idea behind this blog. Rather than simply posting pictures that I have taken, I want to use this blog to share fun things. By that I mean posting bright, colorful photos of things I love and sharing with viewers interesting websites, blogs, movies, events, books, music, or cool businesses that I discover. All of which I hope will inspire you to LIVE COLORFULLY.
