Color Heaven!



It's no secret that I love colorful walls and murals! What if a place existed that wasn't just one colorful wall but, instead, an entire building painted as a gigantic, colorful mural? Truly, that would be my idea of color heaven! Well, the good news is such a place exists and it's at the Laguna Art-A-Fair! Yes, I definitely felt like I had died and gone to heaven in this place. You know, if I could paint my house like this I probably would but sadly, both city property laws and, more importantly, my husband would never allow such a thing to happen!



The mural for the Art-A-Fair building was done by the artist Okudart and it was definitely a feast for the eyes! In case you were wondering, Art-A-Fair is a fine arts festival that takes place in the summertime in Laguna Beach, California. We went to the building about a week before the festival started so that we'd have the place all to ourselves! Obviously, you don't want to do crazy poses like the one above in front of a large crowd, although maybe I could just pass it off as performance art?




Since there are so many amazing colors in the murals that wrap all the way around the building, I decided to go simple with my outfit, opting for just a striped tee and these tie pink shorts from J. Crew factory. As I discussed in my last post, the summer sales are hot right now and these shorts are definitely one amazing deal! I also love how my pom pom clutch literally picks up just about every color in the mural! Between my stripes and color palette, I think I blended in nicely with all of the art work around me, yet at the same time still stood out.

  6. Oh what a fun building! It's so you, and I agree that your outfit is just the right touch of colour against the walls without letting anything outshine it! :)

    Hope you are having a nice start to your week! It's so cold here, we had the coldest day in 4 years recently!
