… and thus “Rules were Meant to Be Broken” was born


You might be wondering, "What is the meaning behind the title of her blog?".  I thought I should explain. I love, love color!!! Deep, bold, saturated pigments delight my soul. The more color, the better. My philosophy is simple – there is not a color I cannot bring to life!

As my best friend often says, “On paper if you write it out line by line it makes no sense:

½ strand of neon blue apatite
½ strand acidic salmon coral
3 feet of warm gold chain
30 sterling silver disco balls
1 beautiful pearlescent cream stick pearl
and a pinch of headpins

Give that recipe to another designer and they wouldn't  know what to do with it.  But you take all of these mismatched ragamuffin ingredients and a four-star soufflé comes out.! You create like you believe that rules were meant to be broken!”

… and thus “Rules were Meant to Be Broken” was born.

What color delights your soul?

  2. I love your blog...and it is on MY favorite topic: Color!! (As I sit here in hot pink!) And we also share Alice--this is the big weekend for the new movie. Alas! I will have to wait until next week. Don't spill the beans if you see it first! Favorite color, if I had to choose, is Purple of course. But, what I remember most about being a young child is my box of 64 crayola crayons with the built-in sharpener...Oh! What joy! And, I could name all the colors.
