Life Is Better In Color

Something about bright primary color combinations always seems juvenile, but also fun. Pics via Facehunter.
Paulina Reyes creates bold pieces of art with a retro feel. These are feeding my love of paper chains and noses in books.

With spring finally on the way, I'm hoping to be cracking out more of the bright tropical colours to jazz up my wardrobe. It's been a LOONGG winter.

Oh! My favourite is the Cabbage Lady! She is so glam with her headscarf and blue dress. That cabbage suspended in mid-air. It makes me laugh.
