Totally Tickled Turquoise

Hello Bloggerati! How was your weekend? I've been on a mission to find a digital online scrapbook that does the job of both personalizing a book filled with pages featuring unlimited text and high quality photos... Sadly Smilebox has great templates (for Bridal showers) but not enough pages or ways to edit the template for images/text. I love the idea of Blurb as I have previous books made and also mypublisher, but want to do my own printing and use their templates... any suggestions?

Yes, I know, I've been banging on about my love of colour like, all.the.time and just lately, mint has been everywhere - nails, beauty, fashion... My current obsession however, lies with turquoise & teal, next to my summer faves; fuschia and cobalt. What's your current colour obsession?

Loving a touch of turquoise eye make up, a sure fire way to brighten up a day look!

I didn't know about Elizabeth Cole Jewelley til Cocosa.com hit me with a stunning newsletter... How gorgeous is this three strand multi beaded necklace and seven strand bracelet? She's on the Runway this fall with Zac Posen, her bling is definitely worth checking out here.

Lastly, because it's Monday...

Amethyst & Turquoise love

When i saw this image of SJP in a amethyst waterfall dress in Marie Claire Greece (sorry couldn't find the original source for better quality) my heart skipped a beat. I absolutely adore deep aubergine and plum shades with a pop of turquoise.

I found a much better example of Purple hues teamed with gorgeous turquoise accessories, as seen here on super babe, Cameron Diaz at the Costume Institute 2007.
Doesn't she look amazing?

Here are a few more bits 'n pieces i found online, which I also love

I probably wouldn't wear all the accessories together with the dress though - too matchy matchy but with one or two elements of turquoise
