If the Emmy Awards were any indication, deep blue seems to be a color on the rise. Crayola’s Midnight Blue was my very first “favorite color” and I still enjoy these dark, inky blues. So, inspired by blue, the following is a look at Sunday’s red carpet gowns and additional examples of beautiful, deep shades of blue. Hope you enjoy. Have a fantastic day!

Fashion: Seeing Red
As I start thinking about fall fashion each year, my mind inevitably wanders into the red zone. Perhaps it’s in anticipation of nature’s burst of rich color each autumn, but around September, I start craving red fashion. In fact, this week I added a red jacket to my wardrobe. The following are photos filled with red inspiration. It’s just what I needed this week. What about you: Do you crave certain colors at different times of the year?

Fall Fashion: Loving Leopard Print
As I flipped through my September issues last weekend, I was positively giddy with the amount of animal print in those fashion pages. Although I’m personally of the opinion that it’s a classic and never goes out of style…it appears it’s as in as ever this fall. And it seems leopard print (which just happens to be my absolute favorite) is the exotic print of choice this year. Following is a look at some of the leopard print options available right now. Are you a fan? Or is there another animal print you prefer?

Currently Coveting: Refined Ruffles
Sometimes it’s just the simple things that make me happy. Like ruffles. With autumn approaching, I can’t help but look ahead to fall fashions. While skimming through Anthropologie, I noticed a bit of a ruffle theme. And these are not the overly frilly ruffles of a few years ago. These are their grown-up and refined cousins. It’s what I’m currently coveting. What fall fashions are you looking forward to this year?

Julia Roberts in Elle
What a happy week ~ September fashion magazines showing up daily! Today’s arrival of Elle brought with it approximately 20 pages of Julia Roberts in a layout inspired by her current movie, Eat Pray Love. So pretty! (FYI- The child appearing in the photo below is actually Julia’s son.) Of all the fashion magazines out there, which September issue do you look forward to the most?

Turquoise Tuesday
Hello and welcome to this week’s Turquoise Tuesday! How is your week going so far? It’s going to be a crazy-busy week for me. Then, hopefully things will quiet down a little after that. By the way, did anyone see Eat Pray Love over the weekend? I haven’t seen it yet, so I’d love to know if you thought it lived up to the hype. The following are some turquoise inspirations from around the web. Hope you enjoy. Have a beautiful day!

Quote of the Week – Madonna Edition
A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want.
~ Madonna
Today Madonna celebrates her 52nd birthday. Although constantly controversial, the woman is a powerhouse. If you think about it, for many…she’s ALWAYS been part of the music scene. If you were born in 1984 (Like a Virgin’s release) or later, Madonna has just always been there.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Blondes
Alfred Hitchcock was born on this date in 1899. With a signature directorial style that included unique camera angles, “fugitive” story lines and sneaky cameo appearances in own films, Hitchcock became one of the most influential filmmakers of his time.

Twisted Silver’s Balance Earrings
Twisted Silver just makes me happy! Their newest addition is no exception. TS’s new Balance Earrings are bold and gorgeous. Antiqued silver hoops on a post, with Twisted tags and coming in at 2.5 inches in length, they certainly make a statement.
