la LUNE

In honor of tonight's lunar eclipse...

(via coco+kelley)

In case you were interested, the eclipse begins tonight at 1:33 a.m. EST.  The Earth's orangey-red shadow will swallow the moon, leaving the earth in total darkness for 72 minutes.  

What a way to start the winter solstice!  Can't wait to see la lune in all its coppery glory.

2011 in COLOR

"Color for all Seasons. Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world.  Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year.  It's a color for every day - with nothing everyday about it." - via Pantone

Pantone has unveiled 2011's "it" color.  Do you dare incorporate the trendy hue into your designs?  Personally I find the saccharine shade to be a tad too flamingo. 

What do you think?
