I ♥ Blue

I seem to be going through an obsessive blue phase right now. As I’m sure I’ve already alluded to on numerous occasions, I have bizarre colour addiction periods. Perhaps that makes me a bit of a modern-day female Picasso? (Minus all of talent, of course. I could never compare myself to him in that regard.) And just like our beloved Monsieur Picasso, right now I’m going through my blue period. My heart has been completely captured by blue. Super, duper, bright, bold, and in your face blue. The more saturated, the better!

I ♥ Pink

If my previous few posts haven’t been evidence enough for you, I seem to have been bitten by a sort of ladybug.i Because all things girlie? They have taken possession of my body, mind and soul. Pastels, ruffles, florals, and all manner of super girlie things are my latest obsession. And most of all, the colour pink. I am completely enamoured with pink at the moment. I don’t know where it came from, but I just can’t seem to get enough of it. So much so, that all I want is lots and lots of pink, every minute of every hour of every day. All the time. Which is odd, as pink was never one of those colours I obsessed over. Not even when I was younger. I was always a blue/purple kind of gal. Now however, consider me tickled pink! Pink has 100% captured my heart. And I like it.

The White House

I’m very passionate borderline obsessive about the colour white. Just as I’m very passionate borderline obsessive about interior design. Together they form a sort of Krissy-magnet where I’m instantaneously attracted straight to anything and everything boasting white and/or interior design. I just can’t tear my eyes away, and experience incredible colour/design lust. There you have it, the secret to my heart: white. Some people melt at the taste of chocolate, others at the sight of a beautiful pair of shoesi… me? I get weak in the knees over white-clad interiors. So imagine my delight when I found this house designed entirely in white splashed across the glossy pages of last month’s Canada’s Style at Home magazine. There was real life drooling. No joke. Think Sailor Moon gushing over Tuxedo Mask with the little hearts popping out of her eyes. That kind of lust. If there were others around at the time, I’m sure they would have been slightly disturbed by my obsessive love.

Welcome, Spring

I think it’s finally safe to say spring is in the air! I honestly was not expecting it to pop its head around the corner for a few more weeks yet, but we’ve already been basking in sunshine for about a week now. I think this might be the first ‘first day or spring’ in many years that it’s actually felt like spring. But there isn’t an ounce of snow in sight, and I’ve already dug my flats out from under by bed. I can’t wait to start wearing dresses comfortably again! I think what I’m most looking forward to about spring is being able to hop on my bicycle at any given time and explore the city.i

As today is the official first day of spring (and since I was super busy with midterm presentations during actual Spring Colour Week) today seemed like an appropriate day to make up this post. As much as I love winter, I really enjoy all of the seasons (not a huge summer fan, but I deal) so there’s always something to look forward to with the passing of each into the next. And it’s so refreshing seeing all these bright, pastel colours of spring once again. They really bring a smile to my face. So onward to much colourful inspiration in the form of pink, chartreuse, robin’s egg blue, yellow, and purple!

Things That Make Me Happy… In January 2010

Masked Home is where your cat is

Birman cats.

Listening to music I haven’t listened to in a long, long time and falling in love with it all over again.

Bright Star. ♥ Again. (Why yes, I am obsessed!)

Cliched sailor-style tattoos.

The colour magenta.

Christmas lights that are still on in the middle of January.

Brilliant ideas in the middle of the night.

Homemade blueberry muffins fresh from the oven when the tops are still crunchy.

Snow! (Snow never gets old in my books, and is always happiness inducing.)

Receiving a response to a message I sent Coco Rocha. “Oh you’re sweet. I’ll tweet about it after 7pm! Xoxo” Saving that forever!

Eating so many Sweet Tarts your tongue becomes tingly for hours.

Discovering my Dad also likes Natalie Portman.

What made you feel all warm and squishy inside this month?
