Color Companion: Black and Gold

Now that the Turkey has been served, and the glow of Thanksgiving has settled into ushering in the warmth of winter, the Christmas season has begun! I have had a fond love for gold for quite sometime, and with all the twinkling lights around this time of year, the gold always seems more magical. Two classy colors themselves, black and gold make a beautiful, unconventional pairing for the holidays - even if it just a is a small splash of the two in your ensemble or on your table.

Color Companion: Brown & Orange

Being the week of Thanksgiving, I find that with the fall, the warm colors are everywhere! Orange being the strongest of the warm colors, showcasing itself in the holidays from Halloween to trading in it's shocking companion, black, to be a softer companion to brown, red, and yellow alike. I have never openly admitted to loving the color orange, but somehow it always stays on  my color radar, and I love it most as it dances on the trees in the fall. It reminds me to be thankful for the sweet warmth of summer that is passing, and the cool time of winter that once again will bring a full blushing springtime. As Thanksgiving draws near, what are you thankful for most?

Color Companions: Black and Orange

I have never loved Halloween as a holiday, but I do love that season and colors that surround it. In lieu of the spooky holiday coming upon us in a few days, I couldn't help but post these color companion. I have a sweet spot for orange in my life - but not the orange cone or hunting orange. Rather, I like oranges on the extremes of the spectrum, the muted and almost peach looking oranges and then the rustic burnt oranges.

Orange was the base color in my wedding, and I have been pleased with the variations of this color that have been popping up in not only fashion, but home goods, and prints more and more.  With the fall and Halloween season going on, I love seeing the bold color combo of black and orange, and the variations with the shades these two color lend.

The richness of the mid-fall changing of the leaves doesn't come every year, but when it does it stops you in your tracks. All those leaves creating a blaze with the mix of oranges, yellows, and reds. Makes you want to grab a sweater!

That is definitely a top reason I love the transition from summer to fall - chunky sweaters to wrap you up in front of bonfires, and that great deep, red wine color you can add to deepen and soften your fall decore of pumpkin orange and mum yellow.

With the changing of summer into fall, and the mixed weather we have been having in the Midwest, I've been inspired by the bold swatches of summer's fresh green that is clinging on to the leaves and grass under the cool  grey blue that is the fall early evening sky.

Makes for a lovely combo.
