I’ve been crushing on coral for a while now. At first, I thought it was just lust. A fleeting flirtation, a bit of a roll in the hay (accessories, clothing) and that’d be that. A seasonal fling. Nothing permanent, of course.

But no. Coral is getting to me. Coral is weaving it’s way into my heart and I know it. I can no longer stop myself longingly staring at it with every photo that passes my monitor. I can’t stop myself imagining the future we could have together. And oh how happy we’d be!

I reminded myself of how I used to like Peach. I loved Peach when I was very young. My bedroom at age 14 was decked out in Peach and Sage Green. But I’d outgrown Peach. I left it behind with my youthful indecisiveness when I decided everything had to be Cream and Burgundy when the 90’s hit. And I knew, Peach was not so far from Coral. I knew, some day the love affair would be over. That some day I may not love it like I did now.
Sigh.

But no. It didn’t matter how much I reminded myself that the 80’s were best forgotten in terms of style. Coral can’t seem to leave me alone. It keeps calling me and I can’t ignore it for much longer. It’s getting to me, winking at me, a flirtation bordering on intrusion, ala Fiona Apple. I can’t help it, I want to give in.

I may have to give in.

I’m imagining my dressing room decked out in turquoise, coral, white and gold.
You’d still respect me in the morning, wouldn’t you?
ahhhhhh these images are gorgeous, and i love fiona!!! this color combo is such a happy one, and i love the idea of gold with it for your dressing room. and i think you need turquoise Hunter boots as a functional accessory in there!<br /><br />hugs, my lovely.<br /><br />michele
I love turquoise and coral too! I do a "Crushing on" series on my blog. I've featured turquoise and I've featured coral, and I planned for one of my next features to be the two colors together. They are a perfect combo!
Totally with you here! I'm also surprised at how long my infatuation with coral is lasting. It may go on for a long time yet, as I'm introducing it to my home only in the smallest of doses. <br /><br />That would be a lovely colour combination for a dressing room. And Fiona's song is perfect here! :)<br /><br />Meera xx
Lol! This post really made me smile! I have gone a little coral crazy lately too! Bought a pair of coral skinny jeans and shoes the other day and I love them so much that I leave them out just so I can look at them! I do wonder whether I will look at photos in a few years time and wonder what I was thinking??
I love that colour combination, I've seen some gorgeous vintage styled photos using those colours too.<br />You won my giveaway for the Cabbages and Roses book. I'm not sure if you emailed me, but I never received it if you did. If you can send me your details via craftylilfox@hotmail.com and then I can post the book to you. Melissa x
