colors

some thoughts on how lately my life all relates to colors. 

the blues of the sky, the contrasts with the green of the bushes and the sparkles of the sun on the waves of the ocean. that is where the inspirations of the new “miami blues” collection came. all those colors translated into tourmaline, citrine, turquoise, jade, smoky quartz and lots of cubic zirconia. 

my new hair stylist is experimenting in my hair color. reddish? that I am redheaded is not a secret. but how do I describe my red? it has definitely nothing to do with fire or auburn (that somewhere’s housewife no-no-no). but then what is that red of a natural red hair and freckles gal? mine is a little bit of carrot, a little bit of Venus of Botticelli, in between dark and light copper, maybe strawberry or ginger, to the lightest extreme. 

I wander if I am in an aesthetic phase, where eyes and vision have priority in provoking my other senses in discerning, choosing and being happy or getting upset. I will check it our next time I am at a restaurant if my selection is dictated by the color that maybe fits my outfit. which is still blue (can’t have blue hair, alas).

grey is the new black. it is not a nonsense. I’m confident it’s that chic color that always falls elegant, sexy, easy from day to night. but what grey. it is not charcoal, maybe elephant, or blurred smoky, or heather melange grey, it could be a little bit of sand (the wet one) or stone-ish. and: it goes deadly fabulously with platinum and diamonds. 

P.S. I think Pantone should create a blue named Avatar, although the blue of the movie is a state of mind.
