When I first attended ICFF about a bajillion* years ago, I remember it being SOOO epic; so unattainable. This year, I had a totally different experience. It seemed edited & intimate; fresh, yet livable. Not that there wasn’t editorial-worthy content, it just wasn’t quite as outlandish (or pervasive) as years past. I didn’t feel like the products were designed for an exclusive, haughty club, but rather, just designed to be kinda great. And they were.
*Technically, 1996 is slightly less than a bajillion years ago. Only just….
In these wintery, bleh days, one needs a jolt of color, no? In times like these, I like to explore the blog, Love Print Studio, who always seems to have gorgeous collages to tempt my palette (see what I did there?).
So there it is… Purple. Okay, fancy purple. Purple about which they penned:
Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond our own.
So, there’s that. Except… I dunno. I think of purple as being for Unicorns and my 10-year old niece’s new bedding, and gypsies’ scarves, and grape popsicles. Do I really want a purple couch? If I think about it – do I really want purple  a n y t h i n g ?
So I’ve done a bit of soul searching. And while I’m still squarely in the skeptic box, I’m opening my mind a tad.

Pantone announced “Greenery” as their 2017 pick for Color of the Year last week.
Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.
