Pastels are prancing down the runways and we’re all wondering what’s going on. Perhaps we all just need to add a little more colour to our lives. Bold and beautiful, the world of colour is taking centre stage again in fashion and interiors.
Blogger Beatriz Adrianna is bringing the sunny-side of California with her care-free style blog Live Love Wear it. The creator, with a tone that of dusty-rose and warm peaches, has a fantastic sense of colour. Her Instagram feed bursts with inspirational shades, doused in an iridescent glow.
“My blog was created for a daily dose of inspiration, highlighting my slogan: Live it, Love it, Wear it,” says Adrianna. “This ignited the inner spark about lifestyle and things I love—beauty, decor, relationship, family, and of course fashion. I consider my style to be relatable, yet still achieving my best life.”
Glistening in sunny SoCal style, the Los Angeles based blogger likes to keep it cool for the summer, keeping up with au naturel tones. She also has an inviting plethora of indoor plants.
“For interior design, I love colours like greens, browns and whites. And I one hundred percent believe plants can make us happier,” says Adrianna.
Adrianna also has an office space that is simple and pleasing to the eye, surrounding her environment with bold whites and greens.
“It’s super important for me to have a clean, chic, and pretty place, with lots of light coming through to get creative and into my girl-boss groove,” says Adrianna. “My themes are white and gold tones, with some pops of greenery.”
Simplicity is best because the blogger believes shutting down a lot of extra “noise” from your surroundings is key to creating a calm, stress-free atmosphere.
“Less is more when it comes to my work space,” says Adrianna, “because I think we already have lots coming from our laptops.” Check out her blog: www.livelovewearit.com and watch her living room reveal here. And don’t forget to visit her inspiring Instagram page.
According to The Guardian, the Pantone colour of 2019 is Living Coral and described as “buoyant, vibrant and effervescent, the marine tone is predicted to dominate the design industry over the next 12 months.” And so far, we’ve seen everyone from Taylor Swift to Gigi Hadid in the coral theme. Think Taylor’s Time 100 pastel gown, or REEBOKxGIGI Hadid’s first athleisure collection for Reebok.
But quite the contrary, internationally renowned author on interiors and trends Michelle Ogundehin speaks about the fact of real live coral reefs, at this very moment, being devastated by the dangers of global warming. In an article by Dezeen she states that: “Pantone’s choice of Living Coral as its 2019 colour of the year…it speaks only of conformity, ubiquity and non-choice. Instead then, I’d like to suggest an accent colour. A shade that adds a touch of heat to anything it touches: the piquant and tangy mustard.”
Are you a trend setter? Or a trend follower? Maybe the issue is we shouldn’t be looking to the latest trends, but more frequently creating our own. The choice is yours. But whatever you choose, let it be kindness that affects others and our colourful and beautiful environment for good.
