The Softer Side of Winter
Happy Thursday, loves! Hope you're all having a lovely start to the day.
I wanted to share with you one of my latest color combo obsessions, ivory and a kiss of aqua. Everything is so dark this time of year that I found myself gravitating towards winter white and lighter pastels which are all gorgeous and good but how do you pull that off this time of year? Winter white yes, but lavender? It's a bit hard. But I think I've finally found the perfect way to achieve the lighter mood I'm going for with this gorgeous combo. What do you guys think?
Have a wonderful day and see you all Friday!
xoxo

White with the seafoam accents... awesome. So cool and fresh and calm.
what a beautiful and romantic color combo!!
Hmm... anything that resembles the Tiffany and Co. color is mighty perfect to me.
if only I could work this colour combo!
i love anything lavender - it's just MY thing - everyone knows - but i'm happy to say i only wore a winter coat once this year - just been wearing my cape from Nordy -- happy that old man winter hasn;t really arrived!
Mmm yes, I love pale aqua. These images are so gorgeous Dawn! I love those tea cups with aqua water--beautiful! Hope you are having an equally beautiful Thursday!

Oh goodness, YES! I have been on the bandwagon with pastels in general, but that aqua is definitely a favorite! Is it strange that it's making me hungry for cake??? Weird, right? (c:
Happy Thursday to you too!!! YES, winter white and aqua sound perfect together. I'm dealing with the same weather and yellow is a color I seem to gravitate towards this time of year. xo
Like it, very soft and romantic! Love the draping design on the curtain! :)
When i first read the headline I was thinking, well the softer side of winter is def not my skin, these heaters dry me out! but then I see it is a different softer side! :) emailing you for a date lovely!
This is a gorgeous combo!

loving the tea cups with the aqua blue candles ... just loving le xox
Ahhh..this is glorious, I love the combination. My oldest daughter had this in her room until she liked red and changed it, but I do miss it. Am thinking of putting it in my youngest daughter's room until she finds her favourite colour..it's so dreamy!! xo
WANT that first outfit!!! I LOVE it! Super pretty. I would feel instantly beautiful in that! xo
Love the aqua!
those are such beautiful photos of winter...i love soft teals and off-white shades for winter.
Love the combination of colors, so soft and romantic.
Could not love the color aqua any more, it's my go-to for a pop of color in my blush and plum colored room!
