hooray for orange…

In case I haven’t mentioned it (over and over again while looking in the mirror)…I love the colour of my red hair. Maybe that’s why I love the colour orange! So here’s my little Friday indulgence…let’s hear it for ORANGE!!!

The February/March issue of Lonny Magazine features the home of L.A. designer, Betsy Burnham. She uses just the right hits of orange throughout her home. Anything more would tilt the colour into the “annoying” category.

Drooooooool. Hermes chose the colour of my hair for its iconic line of products, including their signature boxes which have become a sought-after decor accessory!!!!

This is a painting I did a few years ago (acrylic on canvas). Please excuse the photo’s quality–I am a LOUSY…er….LAZY…er…IMPATIENT photographer.

Orange is goofy and playful…but she can be pretty darn SHMEXY too (she might be a tad unsteady on anything higher than flip flops though…sigh). Just look at these Christian Louboutin shoes from Polyvore.Me like…

me want…

orange bike

(hmmm…I should submit that for some haiku contests).

I found this bike on a brilliantly-monikered website–Orange Girl Photographs. Apparently Orange Girl used to drive an orange Superbeetle VW bug when she was in art school. Guess what! I used to drive an orange Superbeetle VW bug when I was at school. Sadly (sorry mom & dad)…I was taking Political Science at UBC…not ART at Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design!!!!!

Last, but by no means least…the beloved Creamsicle–nature’s creamiest orange cool treat. Gotta go phone Mark to pick some up on the way home from work…bye for now.

  1. I miss my beetle! I loved that car. How I wish I had red hair. I’m envious. If I could wear heels I would have to have those.

  3. I didn’t think I was an orange person but I do love those shoes and the pop of color that orange gives the first two pictures.

  4. Hi Kristie…I LOVED my bug too. Your photographs are amazing. Loved the bride & groom in the turquoise-interior vintage car!
