Chris Benz is hands down one of my favorite designers for his use of color (have you seen his Spring collection yet? amazing.), so I often return to his shows for a little inspiration, and sure enough he delivered just what I was looking for...



Feminine charm, big hair and a punch of color on nude neutrals (from his last resort collection). Chris always makes a big statement, but keeps it refined and beautiful at the same time, just like these interiors. I think it's a palette that can easily work into any season, but I especially love it for fall with a warm bronze + browns.
While I was looking, I ran into these beauties too...

Which had me thinking... with this addition of a super contrasting black, wouldn't this make a fantastic alternative palette for Halloween? I think so!

My art instructor in school was named Mr. Citron. And, I have been a big citron fan ever since.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Fabulous color! This reminds me of the velvet gown that Rachel Zoe wore to the Met ball. Love!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Black gives citron such an "oomph" - especially loving the yellow door.
