What I Wore: Turquoise Accents
What I Wore
- Wide-brim hat – Banana Republic. Wide-brim hats are a must for any woman’s wardrobe who wants to protect her skin from the sun!
- Turquoise necklace – Blue Bijou Jewelry
- White collared shirt – Red House
- Belt – Target
- Red linen skirt – Smart Set (Canadian store). Want good air flow during the summer? Wear skirts, especially those made of linen.
- Embellished turquoise sandals – Famous Footwear. FF can be hit or miss, but this was a definite hit! Rubber flip flops are a no go for work, but I see nothing wrong with embellished sandals in a relaxed work environment.
I liked this picture so much it’s my new Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ profile pic. Are you on Google+ as well? Let’s connect!

What I Wore: Houndstooth and Red
Don’t you love it when your outfit matches your artwork? That’s when you know you are dressing and living authentically.
Last night we went out for dinner with some friends at California Pizza Kitchen (might I recommend the Thai chicken pizza? Sensational!) and had a grand old time.
What I Wore
- Houndstooth scarf – Olive and Tweed. This is one of my fave ways to wear a scarf. Click here for a scarf video tutorial.
- Houndstooth earrings – Made by Jewls
- Gray boatneck tee – RW&Co. (Another fab Canadian clothing company that I wish we had access to in the US of A)
- Red patent purse – Guess
- Watch – Fossil
- Bootcut dark wash jeans – Banana Republic
- Red open toe shoes – Franco Sarto. A few weeks back the girls got together for mani’s and pedi’s. I got gold polish over a gorgeous Opi color which magically chameleons towards red with these shoes.
What’s your go-to outfit for a night out with friends?

Turquoise Named Pantone Color of 2010
According to Pantone, the world’s color authority, the color of 2010 is turquoise! One of my personal favorites, turquoise draws from the calming effect of blue and lively, vibrant aspects of green.
“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”
So how can you wear turquoise this year? Turquoise is a great accessory color, with purses, wallets, and jewelry in varying degrees of turquoise. A common combination is brown and turquoise, like this clutch below.
Red Ruby Rose: Silk Lined Clutch Bag $75
blue bijou: Neesha turquoise and wood bracelet $36
A Different Drummer: My Sister's Secret Purse Organizer $18
Ironically, I seem to have already implemented the new turquoise Pantone color of 2010 subconsciously! When making sour cream sugar cookies last night, this is the color of the frosting:
And this is the new planner I picked up from Barnes and Noble today:
Rather uncanny…
Are you excited about turquoise as Pantone’s color of 2010? How do you plan to integrate the turquoise into your everyday ensemble?
