Cath Kidston new season catalogue, Autumn 2011 : photograph by me... :)
Yay, it's Friday... !
Although I'm not really sure why I'm getting excited for this Friday as I have so much work planned at the moment that I think my weeks are just going to roll together for a while... Oh well, maybe I can take a wee break to soak up some of the Edinburgh Festival Fun. This weekend's forecast is for a very soggy one, yep true festival weather! So I am imagining lots of colourful rain coats instead of the sunny scenes from last year... :)
Anyhoo, today's palette... I was a wee bit stuck for inspiration this morning and wasn't really feeling the colour palette making spirit. But then the postman came a knocking a wee while ago and dropped the new season Cath Kidston catalogue through my letterbox. As I flipped through the pages the mere sight of all those piles upon piles of yummy vintage books got my creative juices flowing... I love all those earthy sun bleached colours with snippets of jewel tones for a wee pop of brightness. (I won't say this too loud just yet, but I'm really looking forward to all the autumn palettes and new season collections.... shhhh!)
Oh and I so want this Cath Kidston bag, I love that red... pinning!
Have a great weekend everyone... :)

oh wow, Love that embroidery work, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThere is everything to love in that picture. I have to say that you do so well with color palettes that include soft, more muted hues. I need to learn from you to appreciate these more nuanced shades.
ReplyDeleteThat`s a beautiful palette, and I love CK`s saddle bags, can`t live without them:) Happy weekend.
