The happiest colour

Because today it’s cloudy, because this summer I’ve timidly begun to incorporate this vibrant colour in my wardrobe and have discovered that I like it (and Lisa‘s ballerina flats made me crave it even more) and because, as Frank Sinatra said, “orange is the happiest colour.” It’s my pick-me-up for today. I hope you’re having a beautiful and bright day everyone!

    I love orange! Full of energy and joy. 🙂 And of course, it’s also about Hermes. 🙂
    Wishing you a wonderful day and hope you are feeling happy whatever the weather.

    That is a fabulous collage! The Dior illustration, oh my.

    I cannot believe you mentioned my flats 😉 I’m loving those more and more every day and they make my feet so happy. I don’t remember if I told you but they were from the Italian brand ‘Les Lolitas’.

    Ah, it’s cloudy here too, but I love it because everything looks so green!

    Orange is the one color that looks absolutely horrid on me. Power to all those who can wear it! 🙂

    I totally agree. Designer Mona Ross Berman says, \Orange feels like a younger, fresher version of red. It’s one of the only colors that can be sophisticated and unpretentious at the same time.\ The Dior illustration is gorgeous!
