Happy Sunday Funday with a Pop of Red and Blue

Happy Sunday Funday! Like I said today on Facebook, sometimes you just need something vibrant like a pop of red in your outfit or decor to add a little fun to your day. To me Sunday is more like Monday to most. I feel like all the responsibilities of the coming week crash down on me...and all without  any cleaning help. I know Sundays are supposed to be relaxing and fun, but with the kids home and the laundry piles mounting, sometimes I just want to hide under my covers and go back to sleep.

Today was that such day, but I have to say I'm really proud of myself that I pushed myself  to get up, clean up a bit, daven (pray), and go for a run. When I came home and opened my laptop...I found this picture which kind of brought me visually to life, thus inspiring this fun and pretty post. Enjoy!

The look that inspired...

 No coffee necessary in a kitchen like this!
 This color combo makes a dapper look for men too!
A pop of divine Dutchess!

Bright colors never looked so classic:
 Simple elegance...in color!

 When all else fails, buy yourself some fresh flowers!
 Always take a few minutes to stop and smell the roses...
 And those same roses will create such simple and striking decor as well...
 Here's another fab room...notice the neutral backdrop as the perfect home for vibrant red and blue.
 Red and blue colorblocking and accessorizing done well.
 Afraid to wear color to work? Think again!
Here's to a bright and fun week!
Until next time,
xo

    I think you have been inspired by the jubilee. There is nothing more classic than red, white and navy.

    Hi Sharon,

    Your inspirational image was right on! Love the red, white and blue. It's great to bring up the energy especially at the start of a new week. I loved Kate Middleton in that Red as well. :)

    XOXO

    Red it so energetic, just what we need when it is raining (again!) Love your weight loss tips below, click on my daily inspiration if you are trying to get fit for summer! I have lost over 50% of my body weight, that was the easy bit though, it's staying there that I am finding a little tough!

    Red and blue together are very becoming and very American. I love the fashions that you featured on this post and who can forget the living room! Stopping by from Monday Mingle!

    Sounds like you had a great day - way to go!! I love this inspiring post and all these amazing photos (especially that stunning entry way and the roses, which I adore)! I get "Sunday-itus" too. The one good thing is that because I'm so busy doing things I didn't do during Shabbat that I'm too busy to get on the Blackberry for work, resulting in a 100% work-free weekend (amazing for a work-a-holic like me)! Laundry, shopping, cleaning, planning the workweek/lunches are all so tedious, but somehow it all seems so right on Sundays. :-)
