Lemon Zest

With spring fast approaching I’ve been busting out the lights and brights to cheer me up while keeping these post-winter blues at bay…A burst of citrus here, a bit of sunset there and of course some cool, calm neutrals to anchor all the fun.  My affinity for mixing yellows and grays go beyond my wardrobe stylings right into the residential arena where silver and mirrored finishes become the best solution to parallel this pairing…Beats decking out the entire living room in punchy yellow patterns and graphic gilded wallpaper dude.  Yeah, like the boy would really approve of that
 (interior images 1, 2, 3, 4-5, 6)

{Vintage beaded top, Joe's jeans, Michael Kors slouchy suede boots(old) similar HERE and HERE, gifted clutch similar HERE and HERE (thanks Lani!)}

 Hope your week is filled with lotsa sunshine y'all!

Thanks for the uber sweet message Julie!!! U r the BESSSST! Love grey and yellow and seeing it in rooms is SOOOO cool...I've never been in an all yellow and grey room...the colorway reminds me of DKNY from the 90's that I have always been TOTALLY obsessed with! It's like that perfect colour combo! And almost a new take on Art Deco! FABBBBuLOUS post babe!

Love the bag and your top, so pretty!

Totally spring-y. Completely refreshing. This color is great.

Ahka Vintage said...

Love it! Lemon is so underrated - maybe because most people don't know how to pull it off that well! I agree on mixing it up - it's got to stay the accent colour - not steal the whole show!
Thanks for stopping by too! I've been following you for a while now... your blog is just getting better and better!

Dammit woman - I KNEW when I started scrolling down you were going to say that top was vintage. Genius to pair it with the grey tee. LOVE it. I, too, have an affinity for that color combo. My bedroom is charcoal and yellow.

merci!
