GUEST POST // COLOR CRUSH: CORAL

posted on: April 08, 2011

I am so excited for today's guests! Yes, that's right, I said guest + s! I've known Jess and Curt from Grizzly Bear Modern for over a year now and I was so thrilled to have my "first date" with them in person just last weekend (images to come)! Coolness exudes from this duo in so many ways--have you seen their new pad aka the bear cave? RAD. If you don't follow their blog, get on it! You will not regret.

First up today? Jessica. Stay tuned for Curt's post this evening!

Jessica here, half of Grizzly Bear Modern. We're so thrilled to be sharing on I ART U while Jen is in Seattle! I wonder if she's getting any springtime weather up there? It's been cold in L.A. and I'm desperate for sunshine and warmth!

I thought I'd share my current color obsession. Last Saturday I bought yet another cardigan, in a bright coral color I wouldn't normally go for. I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I've worn it four times this week. I can't stop! It's crazy comfortable and it seems like it goes with everything! It adds a punch of color to all of my wintry neutrals, and the color is a serious mood booster. Now I'm seeing coral everywhere and I love it... such a cheery springtime hue. 

Clockwise from top left:

1. Boots No.7 stay perfect lipstick in Gay Geranium
2. Max & Chloe Gigi Chic orange python bangle
4. Neiman Marcus cashmere scarf in hot coral
5. Comme des Garcons wallet
6. American Apparel unisex hooded scarf
7. Nars blush in Orgasm (longtime favorite of mine)

Thanks Jess!!! Love the pop of color and your roundup (four times is acceptable in my book). // Check back here for Curt's post tonight!

  1. Yes, I think it's quite alright ot wear a cardi four times in a week. I did a few weeks ago and keep wanting to go back to it but have yet to take it to the cleaners!
