shades of lavender

Lavender has always been my favorite color, but I don't really own many items or clothing in lavender. It's a very specific type of lavender that makes my heart swoon, it's a warm and more pink hued shade of lavender as opposed to the actual color of lavender. I just love the word lavender, so when I was younger and I read Harry Potter, I was so excited to know there was a character name Lavender Brown, I just thought it was such a cool name. And then J K Rowling ruined her character! In celebration of spring, I've finally started to embrace all the pastel color goodness. I've always loved pastel colors, but I never wore lots of pastel colors since I prefer to wear more fall colors and fall clothing, now I have all these pastel color shirts and nail polish and I love it! Wearing Lacy Lilac nail polish by Sarah Hansen today.

I want to see more lavender colored items in my home and wardrobe. When I think of excess of lavender, I think of Bridget Jones' mother Gemma Jones re-marrying Jim Broadbent and everything was in lavender! Now that was too much lavender. Too much of anything isn't good, I think lavender is more elegant in small doses. I'm in love with the lace dress, which is out of stock, but I just love staring at this particular shade of lavender or lilac. Also those sandals look like the perfect spring sandals for a day in the park.

  4. HAHA yes Lavender Brown was not the most palatable character... I think your color palette collages are really gorgeous. :) Interesting how lavender is such a lovely color yet it doesn't seem to be a very popular clothing color eh?
