color TEAL WE MEET AGAIN

Teal is such a fun little color - somewhere between the navy of mid winter and the light aqua of early summer. I would go so far to say that teal is the color that says "you know, I think the economy will turn around soon...I'm going to buy something I don't need".

Whatever your opinion of the economy or the my anthropomorphous obsession with color, I'm sure you'll agree that these pieces are rather lovely!

prep work


Ahh, green! So spring, so preppy. But not just any old green, it must be kelly green. A colorful tip to a plain white polo. An argyle diamond on a sweater vest. But this isn't a jcrew photo shoot!

This is about some fabulous independent designers adding a cool modern twist to this delightfully preppy color. My favorite has to be the recycled skateboard ring. Of course, there's no denying the charm of a daschund in green plaid - instant classic? Maybe!

FEATURING [clockwise]:
+ eco friendly dog harness, $38, annie's sweatshop
+ green bracelet, folkart
+ recycled skateboard ring, $24, 2revert
+ lego cufflinks, $18, groglmans cufflinks
+ "there aint no cure for love" necklace, $20, shiny black shoes
