We all know that a picture captures a moment in time but sepia seems to take that particular moment and make it all the more evocative. It's as if the time that the image was captured was moving in slow motion, or standing still completely. It makes me want to whisper so as not to ruin the moment enjoy...quietly.

I know that the vintage obsession for sepia tones is ruling at the moment, but I reckon that these Penny Skateboards look stunning in all of their full colour glory - there's no way I could choose just one! A perfect find for my colour cruising moment...

Well there's no questioning it, pastels are having a mighty big moment in S/S12. Will you embrace them? I'm stuck between wanting to go all out and colour block them together vs. using one shade and giving it a fiercer edge with leather and silver jewellery pieces.
Either way, here's some inspiration to get you started...as always click on the picture to take you to the source.

White is startling, awe inspiring and can be breathtaking when used in contrast to other colours or just left dazzling you by itself. I just overheard someone saying that it's not a colour and therefore has no emotional effect on people or art in general. I think that 'white' is a pretty powerful statement in design and quickly put this mood board together to help show how stunning it can be...tell your friends!

Having a thought provoking day served with a pinch of moodiness. I'm a bit saddened and annoyed at the world today - not my normal self at all. I think I need some friends to make me laugh...until that happens, these images found on Indivisualism sum my mood up perfectly; They are stills taken from 'Collision Zone', an installation project by Gast Bouschet and Nadine Hilbert. Enjoy.

I was searching for more people who aren't afraid of colour in design when I came across Urban Outfitters' head quarters in Philidelphia on one of the blogs I follow; Because I'm Addicted.
Industrial beams are the perfect backdrop for this infusion of colour and eclectic mix of pieces. Absolutely LOVE it.

Why? Because everyone needs a bit of pink when they skate...this season's colour blocking demonstrated perfectly by our environment clashing with the buildings and skip. Oh and the skating's not half bad too...

Design Taxi have focusses on genius concepts, ideas, the latest design news and results on their site. I was milling around their site knowing that I'd find what I needed for a burst of much needed inspiration when I came across these by Ryan Taylor.
I LOVE the vivid colours captured by bursting water balloons and using high speed photography. Enjoy!
If you like these I've put some more on the ILS Facebook - check 'em out!

Look around you, there's colour everywhere and yet people are often really afraid to use it. I found incredible images by Filippo Minelli over on trendforum to inspire you to bang some colour into your air and if that doesn't work, try these collab Missoni/Havaianas. Fashion has embraced colour blocking and is colourific this year from start to end - just wait till the winter lines get released into stores. Get ready to embrace your inner colour...
