Colours:

I'm a person who wears a lot of grey and black, but did you know that I am obsessed with a few other colours?


RED/ORANGE: my room is full of red accents. I didn't manage to get all the red in this one photo.
From the left, clockwise: clog from Malacca, flat pouch from Hongkong, cup from Tokyo, flowers from k from Feb'10, pepper grinder from Vietnam, clay pig from Vietnam, tin carousel from ann-m from China, knitting yarn, Origami book, scissors, wool hat, OPI nail polish from suning, Accessorize scarf, apple bell, Holga camera, strawberry foam hair curler.

NAVY: Not just any kind of blue, but the kind that can be mistaken for black. 
 
 From top: Marc by Marc Jacobs zip pouch from Dawn, brandless nail polish, OPI suede in navy, Face Shop nail polishes in two different shades of navy, ribbon from Holland Village, Bysi skirt and belt, Agnes b dog tag necklace.


TURQUOISE: Again, not in this photograph: my umbrella, makeup remover, and a dozen other things in this minty green shade that I happen to pick up. I'm not a Tiffany box kind of girl, but I gravitate to this fresh, watery color because it's not quite blue, not quite green, and not pastel either.
 Too many things to list.
 But this is my latest turquoise acquisition: China Glaze's For Audrey, purportedly the exact Tiffany blue. Compared it to the box, it's a bit darker and deeper than the Tiffany blue, but still very fresh.

A ring from eons ago. I bought a damaged ring and stuck all these beads on it.

 A crayon in the shape of a cat, picked up from Saturday Market when I was in Portland, Oregon.

And finally, a neutral palette of grey and brown:


 My favourite colours.
