setting the mood {ruby + slate}

As summer begins to wind down, my palette preference is starting to shift from crisp greens and whites to ones that evoke drama and warmth. Brilliant ruby red and sophisticated slate are the perfect fix for this transitional time.  I just adore how the palette combines the best of autumnal and summer sensibilities though a playful contrast of moody and tart.
