ombre!

diy ombre bags via tokketok
we've caught a few glimpses of blue between the cloud laden skies of portland lately - just enough to get one excited about the prospect of the impending pop of springtime colors.  with that on my mind i've pulled together a little ombre round-up.  i'm absolutely loving the pleasant little shock a tiny dip of color creates.  these hand-dyed bags by the tokketok letterpress studio are so cool and easy - they would be great for an event as party favors or even table decor.

i'm dreaming of throwing a very mod brunch accented by a tablecloth like this one.  don't you think a little dye could work wonders on a thrifted white table cloth? cheap and chic. perhaps we'd drink my favorite (and very ombre-friendly) breakfast cocktail, the tequila sunrise or this gorgeous hibiscus mimosa.
  
valentine's panna cotta by serious eats
of course desserts get in on the action too.  martha's wedding cake is all subtle romance, while serious eats' non-lame valentine's panna cotta is sexy and striking.  they look pretty good either way.

so glad you are back, kass.  may your day be filled with little pops of color! all love, j
