lost in thoughts #24

It’s officially the first week of fall. Soon the leaves will turn, and in anticipation I’m thinking about an autumn color palette of oranges and reds (how unusual).

floral design by Nicolette Camille

I’m a sucker for beautiful flower arrangements. This one, by Nicolette Camille, is just stunning. The colors are brilliant and warm. I really like the pops of green; they give the impression that the bouquet is really fresh and new.

Felt Furnishings by Anne Kyrrö Quinn

Quite frankly, you can’t go wrong with an orange felt pillow covered in rossettes. If you want one of your very own, you can find a DIY tutorial on Etsy’s blog, The Storque. If you make one, be sure to share the results!

Brothers, NYC by The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist takes great candid photos of real people wearing cool clothes. He spoted these two brothers in New York City. The guys look great together. Very cool. I want a big heart pin (but I’m afraid it would own me, rather than the other way around).

The main characters are oranges. Need I say more?

What are your thoughts about autumn’s arrival? Are you happy for the new colors and changing seasons, or do you yearn for summer?

Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series. I started this feature because I’m inspired by the amazing things I see on blogs and Etsy, and by family, friends, readers’ comments, and life. I don’t want to keep all of these wonderful finds to myself, so I gather them together on Thursdays to share with you.
