Green passion...

I have a thing for a very special color, the color green. But, before I go on about that let me tell you a little story...
It all started with this pic. (down below) over at my dear blogfriend Stacey´s place 'Design Addict Mom'.

Stacey had a great fashion post showing Miss Jagger in a pair of green tights.
I told Stacey those particual green ones reminded me of Mr. Riddler in BATMAN FOREVER:). Therefore I couldn´t see myself in a pair of green ones(they would make me feel like Mr(s) Riddler walking around and in worst case even act the same way.
Felt she would look amazing though!

Then I started to think about green, and that I ´ve always felt drawn to it in a very special way.
The green tights and Mr Riddler then made me think about my Birthstone that happens to be Emerald(green) and if that had something to do with my attraction towards this particular color!?

The emerald green dress worn by actress Keira Knightley in Atonement has been voted the best film costume of all times. I could see myself in a emerald green dress, no question about that, but I´m not as sure I would use emerald as a wallcolor in my own home.

Thought you could help me out here!?

Do you feel a special band towards the color you were born in? Meaning the color of your Birthstone?

Could there be a connection?

Let´s all come toghether and find out!

Maybe you readers would even be interested to take part in a 'Reveal of you Birth Colour' and showcase it through a series of pics. telling a little about your connection and feelings towards it?
If you would let me know so I can put up a Link back to you!

Happiness...

After an emotional weekend, with a good outcome I would like to celebrate all of the good things in life!
There are so much to be grateful for and lately I for sure have had some experiences in my life that have made me very aware of what really matters!

What could be better than sparkling colors to express this feeling of gratitude towards life?

'Out of this experience only good will come'
Isn´t that a great affirmation? made by Louise Hay.
Even the worst ones actually seems to bring something good to it in the end!

I often use these words when things are not' going my way' or even when the most devastating things happens in my life.
These words bring such comfort and hopefully some of you will put them in the back of your head and make them usefull when life is hard on you!
