Color File: Neon + Coral



Raise your hand if....
Your favorite crayon in grade school was a neon color!....Yep, that would be me. To be perfectly correct, "Shocking Pink" was my favorite crayon in first grade. Thus, I am happy to see the neons hit the mainstream lately. Its fun! I love it even more paired with neutrals and corals:) 

Round up of a few fantastic posts from this week:
Spring Stripes post via Creative Index
Mara's look incorporating the Dance in Curacao Headband.
Lyrics + Prints Posters on Little Reminders of Love.
Strawberry Party on You are My Fave.
Bloggers are just like you post via Aspiring Kennedy. Laugh out loud.
 Desiree is hosting an auction to raise money for an adoption from ethiopia. Several artists including Olive Manna, Emersonmade, and Oh Hello Friend have donated fantastic items. Please consider stopping by! 

Happy weekend!

Oh my goodness! So like every other blogger, I see a ton of style boards on a regular basis, but I am especially impressed with this one. You've done a gorgeous job picking the most tasteful pieces and arranging them beautifully! Hands down, one of the best style boards I've seen in a while. And seriously, could that swimsuit be more gorgeous? Love it!

Anna!! You have picked THE MOST GORGEOUS pieces ever! Those shoes, the one-piece suit... crushes, crushes, crushes ;)

When I was a kid I had a neon yellow *Vuarnet* shirt that I used to pair with neon pink shorts, lol! I think Vuarnet made sunglasses... I hope anyone looking directly at me was wearing them.

Have a fantastic weekend!
