    I love coral. I have a coral nail polish (my fav). I adore second dress, that a swimsuit and Chloe handbag! Perfect selection!

    Coral is such a beautiful color and looks great on so many different complexions. I am in love with the Chloé Saskia bag. The Tory Burch Belinda dress is so adorable as well as the Hervé Léger look. What's always interesting to me is seeing what colors are paired with coral looks through accessories like shoes.

    Such a great color. I wish I could wear this big coral necklace that MrB got me back in the day, but I find it foolish to wear anything but my own designs :-(

    Loving the coral, especially when it hints to orange (my fave colour right now)!

    Thanks for dropping in to DesignTies and commenting on my bathroom remodel. As I'd written, I loved the whole process involved with this remodel and I'm so looking forward to doing more/different bathrooms - the two in my current little house and, if I'm extra lucky, those of my future clients! Gotta build that business first, though!!

    Also one of my fav colours. I am wearing coral polish as we speak and I believe the coach bag featured on my blog post today can be considered coral. Well, they call it "poppy" but dark coral will do.

    Love this post, great selection!

    OOOOOH FUN... I'm actually FASHIONABLE still!!! I wore an outfit the other day and accessorized with a coral necklace I bought when I was 16 years old while in Hawaii on vacation. I got many compliments on it... and NOW coming to your site I see that I was REALLY fashionable... I feel soooooo much better!
    ENJOY your day!

    I love the idea of adding coral hair extentions or pieces in your hair like in the first picture with the model's hair in a bun. I'm def going to put some coral in my wardrobe.

    coral is like the epitome of summer for me. it's such a rich color, and it's not often used. of course it doesn't look good on everybody, but it's def. worth the try.

    good post carrie!
