The smokeyeye colour trend received a boost over thewinter and the classicdark grey shades
havebeenpaired upwithbrighter, more intense colours. Formy summerColour Suite, I startedwith
traditional dark grey, then chose anorchidpink, deep turquoise and rich coral formy key colours. The
vanilla created awarm, neutral base for thepalette, and I loved the contrast it created. Likeblack and
white, grey and cream are great foundation colours andwill support just about anyhues youpair them
upwith.
Summer's stacked
and sewn rows of
hearts add so
much depth and
dimension, but her
layoutwill still
lay flat in a page
protector.
When you have
lengthy journal-
ing, make it easier
to read by typing
(or handwriting) it
in a narrow, long
column.
