Pattern camouflage always makes me think of Garden State, Rachel Perry Welty, Liu Bolin, and Annie Collinge. And now, of course, Twenty Seven Names. I love a good inspiration collection!

Happy weekend, friends! My sweet parents are coming up for a visit, so Ken and I will be wearing our entertaining hats. See you Monday!

1. Homemade Japanese washi tape? Duh.
2. Apparatu’s fractal stool is completely rad.
3. I need this mannequin table lamp, don’t I?
4. Ooh, a banner necklace? I like!
5. Amazed by Souled Objects’ creative process.
6. This rope towel holder tutorial is fantastic.

Shiny, happy paintings are the best way to kick off the weekend, yes?

Color Mankind is a weekly guest series from Lauren Willhite.

Oh, the safari vest. I wear this vest with absolutely everything I own. And surprisingly, I only get one “goin’ fishin’?” joke a day. Pretty good track record, really.

Trivia: The back of this dress is super cute and open, but I forgot to show you. Another time, I’m sure.

What are you wearing today?

I never thought I’d fall for a $400 porcelain officer bust, but alas, here we are.

The chilly weather is putting me in the mood for dark paintings — John’s work definitely fits the bill!
