customized shades of whorange at jonathan adler

 

now that sir jonathan adler has a dandy customize-your-own-craving feature on his website, i can get totes, rugs, and pillows in various whorange combinations.

unfortunately, my fantasy rug hovers around the 3200.00 range, which in WHORANGE currency, is about 30 squirrel lamps.

yep, the high price of pretty is oftentimes ugly.

shades of whorange: big rabbits by cracking art group

the italian-based collective, cracking art group, crafted these fabulous hare hoppers from old plastic water bottles harvested from landfills.

but the recycle cycle doesn't end there.  in addition to making wasted plastic uber-fantastic, cracking art group will eventually destroy the plastic bunnies and reuse the plastic to resurrect their next art project.

what's not to whorange?

shades of whorange: anna sui spring 2009

at new york fashion week, anna sui served up a whorange-infused, craveable, top-shelf cocktail of a runway show.  anna's south american inspired, ready-to-wear collection for spring '09 wants to be on my body so badly, it hurts.  sometimes it's difficult being a fashion muse.  it really is.

pantone's color report for spring 2009

okay, kittens, listen up.  pantone just released their fashion color report for spring 2009.

these are the colors of the future.  commit them to memory.  paint your home, adjust your wardrobe, and purchase your panty shades appropriately.  act quickly to impress your friends and neighbors.

also, a special note to the trendspotters at pantone:  i'd like to propose the following palette for fall 2009.  the colors flatter most complexions and are perfect for office-to-evening wear, international travel, signature cocktails, throw pillows, and leotards.

inspired by celebrity skintones.

shades of whorange & black

i was introduced to the concept of fashion in the sixth grade.  my friend's mother -- a personal shopper at nordstrom -- held a color wheel to my face and diagnosed me as a "spring palette."  to an aspiring goth, this was not a good thing.  to this day, i've maintained an undying devotion for the seasons of winter and fall, and therefore, black & whorange.
