Lately Inspired By — Peach and Gold

It's usually safe to assume at any given time that I'd count a shade of pink amongst my favourite colours. The question, however, is exactly what shade of pink is my preference du jour. Not that I like to play favourites, exactly, but I tend to go through phases of what I'm inspired by and leaning towards, exploring the ways that colours interact with each other and what some creative applications might be.

It might be because we're finally into summer now, but I've been noticing myself drawn to peachier pinks and golden tones of yellow, a pairing reminiscent of shimmering sunsets,  glasses of chilled rosé and beachy locales. Basically, #summergoals. 

The pairing feels warm and feminine in a subtle way, working well when mixed with delicate ivories, natural textures and a touch of black thrown in here and there to keep things interesting. I've been trying to incorporate it into my home wherever possible, am loving it in loose floral arrangements that feel like they might have just been plucked from the garden, and have been waiting for a free afternoon to play around with some simple still life styling that captures the beauty of the pairing. 

And this is just the beginning, I'm sure.
