Fashion Friday : Natural Neutrals

Given that I'm fair skinned and blonde, I tend to steer clear of the neutrals.

Actually, come to think of it - neutral, in my mind, has always equaled boring.

Maybe it's the cooler, less humid weather I've experienced over the past year or maybe it's the fact that I'm growing up, but neutrals now equal classy and ultra feminine.  I just love a pale nude pink polish, or a creamy beige blazer, a genuine leather carryall or a slouchy tan knit sweater.  Autumn is the perfect season to ditch the neon and fall into your neutrals.

Need a little inspiration??

Are you a neutrals or a brights kind of girl??   I'd say it totally depends on my mood, but neutrals don't necessarily mean bland in my book anymore...

Cheers!

Dress Those Walls!

I've been searching high and low to find the perfect solution to my very beige and very naked living room.  I'm certainly NOT a beige person.  The room was beige when we moved in and somehow us newlyweds acquired a beige couch and a large beige area rug to complete the ensemble.  While we were (and still are) very grateful to receive the furniture that makes up our living room, I simply cannot handle the beige.  "So, paint the room," you may say.  I wish it were that simple.  We don't own the house and we're not sure how long we plan to be in the house, so painting doesn't seem like the most practical of solutions at the moment.  Anyhow, in my search for inspiration, I've found a few neat photos I thought I'd share.  What have YOU done with your "naked beige room"?  I know everyone has (or has had) a bland room - I'd love to hear what you've done or plan to do with yours!  Happy dressing the walls!
