Blue and white combined is elegant and classic. I love it as decor for the home and on clothing and accessories for you. From China to Europe blue and white porcelain is well liked and has inspired architects, fashion designers, interior designers, artists....(and bloggers! see my closet here. There is something about lilac and blue and white!). I'm still trying to find the perfect way to incorporate it into my life. My home needs a bit more. I'm working on it.
An essential for any home, in my opinion, is a blue and white ginger jar. Or better yet a whole collection of them, because they look even more stunning as a group. No matter how contemporary your home is these classic pieces always provide eye-catching beauty, especially if you use them as a vase and add some flowers to them. And I know the best place to get them, The Pink Pagoda. She has them in all shapes and sizes and for all different types of uses. You can even get a whole collection in this one-stop-shop. Let's get inspired-
I'm still in this blue and white state of mind, quite obsessed actually (#i'msorrynotsorry) and even though this post started being all about the dress (so cute right?) it really then became all about the mother of pearl necklace. It is SPECTACULAR on. I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful this necklace is one you try it on. The mother of pearl just brightens up your face and makes you look beautiful. I tried it on at the store and had I not been saving up for my upcoming vacation it would have come home with me. Elegant and fresh is all I have to say about that. Also, the amazing Paul Andrew snakeskin heels are on sale!

This blue and white obsession of mine has been taking form in me for quite some time but I just wasn't sure how to incorporate it into my home in a way that felt true to me and my style. I let this minor obsession sit on the back-burner of my mind until the shadow of an idea could mature into a full fledged tangible plan. I want to share with you my outdoor project idea.
Maybe you can help me think it through as I do have some hesitations. But let's begin with the overall blue and white feel. The above dress (which is the cutest thing ever for summer) is $17! What?! Cute, cheap and blue and white? This sounds like a great deal to me. I just had to share it with you. I dream of visiting this church in Port, Portugal just to take some photos that I can then enlarge and put in my guest bathroom (walls will remain empty until I do!). Sandy of You May be Wandering has a great post on the blue and white beauty of Portugal here. And some other blue and white images- beware this look is contagious... I caught it from the Pink pagoda for sure-
