Design For Mankind

color of the week: cobalt blue.

Oh, cobalt. You make gray skies blue (literally!) and I couldn’t love you more. (Plus, you’re the color of my favorite shoes. Bonus.) Cobalt, I salute you!

1. Reader’s Necklace ($2.80) at Forever21
2. J Brand Jeans ($327) at Matches
3. Edith & Ella Heels ($135) at Zalando
4. Cobalt Blue Suede Journal ($25) at Aspinal of London
5. Aalto Vase in Cobalt Blue ($123) at Artic Design
6. Michael Kors Wallet ($110) at One Little Box
7. Victoria Beckham Sunglasses ($365) at Jades24
8. Silk Cobalt Blue Pillow Cover ($15) at Sassy Pillows
9. Cashmere Scarf ($59) at John Lewis

p.s. I happen to love cobalt most when paired with neon yellow, salmon and tomato red.

I never really was one for diamonds (I’d rather have coffee as my best friend, really), but Morgan Blair’s diamonds?

Well, they’re pretty.

Dawson Weber’s portfolio site kind of drives me batty, but there’s some beautiful work over there.

rainbow princess.

I learned this pose in yoga yesterday, so I can totally rock it, especially in such awesome garb.

Who wants me to model for them? Bueller? Bueller?

Awesome, world-class photo found at SWNKDLLR.
