{La Boca}

...a spot on the world I hope to soon visit...
La Boca, Argentina

"La boca" means mouth in Spanish which orginated from its location on the mouth of the Riachuelo River. The town is famous for its colorful community. The vibrant scenery dates far back when the poor residents would use left over paint from painting boats to paint their homes. There was never enough for an entire house so this eclectic city turned into a multi-colored waterfront. {photo by Andrew Gibson}

{Men of Color}

vibrant Tuk Tuk ties & belts to add to a man's ensemble

{mona et june}

Blocked colors & subtle florals by mona et june. These ladies know how to make a summer dress of ease. I want to pair these with gold bangles, a big floppy sun hat, & sparkly ballet slippers. Best part about these soft dresses is their price!

{So Clutch}

This ring of clutches are all by Alia Michele Bags. I couldn't choose my favorite so I posted them all! I'm in love with the chiffon frayed purses. The jeweled bracelet handles of the bright blue and silver clutches are a two-for-one beauty.

{Dara's Design}

If you need to time away from the office & the home, away from gray paved streets, and black & white scenery, there's a place waiting to add some much needed vibrancy (to say the least) in your life...Phuket, Thailand. Head to the Dara Hotel for an instant jolt of color. Everywhere you turn are neons, pastels, primaries! Kick your shoes off and melt into the crayola box of luxury. What color crayon are you? What color would you like to be?

Happy Happy Birthday! I have 7 months until my next b-day, but I'll use any excuse to throw a colorful party like these. The Strawberry Delight party from Birthday Girl's blog is so sweet, simple, and delicious. Munchin Tables' Hawaiian themed child's party is perfect for beach-side fun. And an indian infused backyard from Kara's Party Ideas, filled with streamers and poms poms poolside shouts summer.
