1. This beautiful space inside Anthropologie’s Corporate Office in Philadelphia stopped me in my tracks.2. A wall of colorful paintbrushes is total #MakeYouSmileStyle. I’d love to try this at home one day!3. Dutch artists Dre and Jeroen were invited by the major of Philadelphia to be artists in residence to complete a project called Philly Painting to transform Germantown Avenue neighbourhood with color. Beyond the aesthetic improvements, their goal was to transform and revitalize the surrounding area. The duo involved every store and homeowner and consulted with them to decide on a color for their building. Their aim was to create something that everyone could put their individual effort into, but at the end it would still all work together. A true #MakeYouSmileStyle story of how color can improve our lives. I love it!4. I loved how my light blue outfit coordinated with this dark blue wall on Saturday afternoon.5. I stumbled upon the Bleeding Hearts muriel by J.Goldcrown.6. Obsessed with these colorful nautical bouys!7. Another pattern I loved from the Paint Philly project.8. I love how the Cira Centre Cira Center blends seamlessly into the cloudy blue sky.9. Loved these barn style doors at Anthro’s HQ!10. All smiles on Sunday as I explored Manhattan! How great is this graphic chevron wall?!
